Please note that school hours have changed for the 2024-2025 school year. Our new school hours are 8:05 AM to 3:25 PM. 

Check out the newest newsletter from Principal Macklin.

Dismissal/Transportation Changes

Please send dismissal change requests to the attendance clerk at AttendanceAPE@fortbendisd.com before 2:00 p.m. There will be no exceptions. We will not release your child(ren) after 3:00 p.m. due to dismissal procedures.

Absence Notes

Attendance is taken at 10:00 am each day. When a student is absent he/she must bring a written excuse within 5 days of the absence. An absence will be unexcused if a note is not brought to school within these 5 days. An email is a perfectly safe and acceptable way to submit an absence note: please email absence notes to our attendance clerk, Thelma Chavez: attendanceAPE@fortbendisd.com. 

Visitor Policy/No Deliveries

Parents/guardians are welcome at Austin Parkway during the 2022-2023 school year. We value strong relationships and partnerships with our parents and families, but we also value instructional time. Please keep campus deliveries to a minimum.

Do not bring forgotten items such as homework, water bottles, sweaters or jackets to campus throughout the day.
