Closed Campus Tomorrow April 28th/Student Holiday on May 2nd/Early Release Scheduled for June 2nd

Dear Parents/Guardians,

Due to students making up the TAKS test this Friday, we will have a CLOSED campus.  We are advised to do this due to the security and integrity of the test.  We appreciate your help with this and apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. 
Just a reminder that Monday, May 2nd is a student holiday-there will be no school.  Our staff will have a Staff Development Day. 
Also below is an email sent out by Mr. Williams, Executive Director of Communications, regarding early release on June 2nd. 


REVISED INFORMATION - Early Release planned for June 2




Bastrop ISD will have a district wide early release on June 2, 2011. However, due to the need to accommodate our high school final exam calendar our normal early release schedule has been modified for this day.

All elementary campuses will release car riders and walkers at 1 p.m. and bus riders at 1:15 p.m. All Bastrop zoned secondary campuses will release at 12 noon and all Cedar Creek zoned secondary campuses will release at 12:15 p.m.  There will be no afternoon pre-kindergarten class on June 2.

Please note, the early release planned for June 2 is not on the 2010-2011 calendar.



Please make sure you have arranged childcare for after school. If you need to utilize the District’s after school childcare program, STARS, please make arrangements with your child’s site coordinator before June 2. For additional information on the STARS after school program, call 512-308-1601.


Thank you,
