Happy School Bus Driver Appreciation Day! We honor our dedicated professionals who safely transport our AT students every day. Often the first and last smiles our students see, our drivers and monitors are crucial to school safety and community, showing care and patience. Thank you!
We also thank Ms. Tabby and Ms. Dianne who are absent from our picture.
Power has been returned to the building! Our kids have been awesome this morning in navigating the challenges! We are so proud of them! Thank you to everyone for your flexibility! Have a great day!

Join us for the last Zaxby's night tomorrow night! A portion of all sales go to our Austin Tracy PTO! If you are able, please try to support them!
Today was the big day for the STLP State Championship Competition in Lexington, KY. Austin Tracy had two teams of students competing in different divisions! Our teams have been putting in hours of work these last few months getting ready for the big competition!
One team presented on their Student Help Desk project. This project has consisted of our students taking ownership of Chromebook Repairs in house! While the students are learning valuable skills, they are also helping keep our devices in the classrooms!
Our other team competed in the Sphero Hero Division! The team had to program a robot to respond to commands while navigating a challenging course! They also created a narrative to "tell the story" of their creation!
We are proud to report our Sphero Hero Team placed 2nd in the state! This is an amazing accomplishment!
Thank you to Mrs. Willoughby, our STLP sponsor, and all the parent volunteers that helped support our students!
In honor of After-School Professionals Week, a heartfelt thank you to our team at Austin Tracy Elementary.

Thank you to these individuals for the care, time, and energy you pour into our students each day. You create a safe, supportive place for students to learn and grow beyond the school day, and that makes a lasting difference. We appreciate you and all you do for our students and families.

This is a friendly reminder about the Bowling Green Hot Rods game this Sunday at 1:05 PM. The pre-game parade will begin at approximately 12:30 PM; please arrive a bit earlier if your children wish to participate. The game begins at 1:05 PM, but feel free to join us whenever you are able — we understand schedules are busy and want everyone to enjoy the day at the ballpark. There will be autographs after the game as well.
Thank you, and have a great day.
Thursday, May 21st and Friday, May 22nd will be our 2026 End of the Year awards celebrations at Austin Tracy Elementary. We look forward to recognizing our students and all of their accomplishments this school year. Please see the times listed below for each grade level. All awards will take place in the gym.
With the school year soon coming to a close, we ask for all library books, chromebooks, and chargers to be returned to school as soon as possible. This helps us to take inventory and determine if repairs are needed before the summer. Thank you!
The heart of our school begins in the office with the smile that Ms. Lori wears when she welcomes our students, staff, and families! Happy Secretary's Day! We appreciate you!

Mark your calendars! 🗓️ This Thursday, April 16th, spring photos are scheduled at Austin Tracy! Both group and individual photos will be taken! A photo has been posted for a background example.
As the close of the school year draws near, we want to share significant end-of-year dates with families. Specific information regarding these events will be shared closer to time, but we wanted families to have a chance to save these dates on their calendars! We look forward to celebrating with our students!
TOMORROW IS THE LAST DAY OF OUR “FILL MY EAGLE” FUNDRAISER!!!!! Please send forms and money in to homerooms tomorrow.
We appreciate everyone help. Without the support, your PTO would not be able to provide the help to our students and staff at Austin Tracy Elementary!
The Dinner Table Project was created with the basic idea that families that eat together have better relationships. If children have better relationships with their parents and siblings, they are less likely to try drugs and alcohol. Children of families that share meals together also have better academic performance, higher self-esteem, a greater sense of resilience, lower risk of teen pregnancy, lower risk of depression, lower rates of obesity, and a lower likelihood of developing an eating disorder. We encourage families to eat together at least once a week with no electronics. These are great ideas to utilize for Spring Break!
