The Panther Periodical - February,5th,2024
Good Evening Eastside Community,
I hope you are well. This month is Black History Month! Throughout the month, we will highlight individuals and groups that both shaped our community and country, putting a mirror to our practices as the ultimate test of our ideals. At Eastside, we have a vision for being the first choice for East Austin families, much like the original L.C. Anderson was the premier destination for African American students living in Austin. We are proud of our history in East Austin, and hope to continue the legacy!
Paws Up!

Buenas noches, comunidad del Eastside,
Espero que estén bien. ¡Este mes es el Mes de la Historia Afroamericana! A lo largo del mes, destacaremos a individuos y grupos que han moldeado nuestra comunidad y país, poniendo un espejo frente a nuestras prácticas como la prueba definitiva de nuestros ideales. En Eastside, tenemos la visión de ser la primera opción para las familias del Este de Austin, al igual que el original L.C. Anderson fue el destino principal para los estudiantes afroamericanos que vivían en Austin. Estamos orgullosos de nuestra historia en el Este de Austin, ¡y esperamos continuar el legado!
¡Patas arriba!

IEP/504
Easy IEP/504 has released a Parent Portal feature that will allow the parent/guardian/adult student to virtually access IEP/504 documentation, progress reports, and other documents generated in the system that the school district would like to send the family. Once logged into the system, parents/guardians/adult students may navigate between any of the headers which may contain information related to the student. Guides are available in both English and Spanish. Please go to AISD’s Special Education website for accessible copies of the guides.
