Students can be dropped off between 8:00-8:25am. Attendance will start in the classrooms at 8:30am. Students who arrive in their classroom after 8:35am will be marked tardy.

Preschool and elementary students (through 4th grade) will have morning recess from 8-8:25am each morning.

Fifth grade and middle school students will start in the cafeteria in the morning to do 1:1 check-ins with teachers, independent learning, and set up for the day.

Pick-up for students runs from 3:10-3:25pm each day. At 3:25pm, students will be taken to aftercare. If your student is not signed up for aftercare ($180/month), you will be charged the $30 daily rate after 3:25 pm.

Aftercare runs from 3:30-5:30pm each day. Students play, go outside, and have downtime. Two teachers are staffed in aftercare daily. From 3:30-4:30pm, students will be split by age into the cafeteria and the preschool. At 4:30pm, all students will combine into the cafeteria.

Aftercare is pre-paid at a rate of $180/month. Drop-in aftercare is $30/day.

There will be a sign-up sheet at meet-the-teacher if you would like to sign up for the monthly rate. If you miss signing up at that time, please contact info@themagnoliaschoolatx.com

Yes, if you need a window tag, please stop by the front desk during Meet-the-Teacher or the first week of school to get one. If you need more than one, please let us know!

All exterior doors are locked and require a key or key fob to enter. Additionally, there are interior doors that lead to the classrooms which require a key fob to enter. Interior doors are closed but unlocked during drop off and pick up.

If your child is sick or absent, email their teacher as well as info@themagnoliaschoolatx.com. You can also call the school to let us know at 512-266-9620. Teachers will provide their email addresses at Meet-the-Teacher and the first week of school

We do not have attendance requirements; however, the more consistently your child is in school, the better progress they make. Absences are reported on report cards. Students who arrive after 8:35am are marked tardy.

If you need to get your child outside of drop-off and pick-up times, please email your child's teacher to let them know so they can get your child ready. In addition, email info@themagnoliaschoolatx.com or call the front desk at 512-266-9620 to let them know what time to expect you. Please try to avoid pick up time (3-3:30 pm)

For day-to-day questions, reach out to the teacher that works with your child in that particular subject or area (e.g. if it involves math, reach out to their math teacher). If you are not sure who to contact, start with your student’s homeroom teacher.

Magnolia is a nut-free school. This includes peanuts, hazelnuts, pecans, walnuts, almonds, etc. Please be aware that things like Nutella and many granola bars contain nuts. If your child brings an item containing nuts to school, we will keep the food in their backpack to ensure the safety of the other students. Sunbutter is a great alternative to peanut butter for kids who enjoy a PB and J.

If your child takes medication(s) at school or has allergy medication to keep at school, we have a medication form to use. This form can be found at the front desk or on the FACTS family portal. There is not a separate physician form that needs to be filled out.

Please bring any medications to the front desk. Make sure the medications are labeled with your child’s name. We will check the paperwork and then put the medication(s) in a locked medication box in your child’s classroom or in a locked box in the cafeteria. We log all intake of medication(s).

If you answered "yes" to the question in FACTS regarding administration of these medications at school, the school can give these to your child. However, before administering ibuprofen or acetaminophen, the school will contact the parent. If it's an emergency and we cannot contact you, we will use the appropriate dose for your child.

For Bactine and Neosporin, the school will not call you but will provide these if you answered "yes" to the medication question in FACTS.

We have three lunch periods between 11:10 am and 1:00 pm each day. You are always welcome to come and eat with your child! If you know in advance you are coming, we appreciate a heads up. If it is last minute, be sure to stop by the front desk for a visitor’s pass.

You are also welcome to drop off hot lunch to your child at any time. If you would like to picnic with your child, you can do so at the tables on our side playground.

We will continue to offer hot lunches this year. Ordering will be done through FACTS:

Login to your family portal

Click on your student

Select lunch ordering, the calendar and menu will be displayed

Choose “create web order” at the top of the page

On the next screen, choose your child and select the day you want to order

From the menu, make your selections and click “submit order”

On the next screen, select “confirm and pay”

On the final screen, click “pay now”

Lunches need to be ordered by Thursday of the week prior for lunch the following week. Your lunch items will be selected and paid for at that time. Lunches cannot be refunded for student absences.

The lunch schedule is as follows:

Monday - Chik - Fil - A

Tuesday - Torchy's

Wednesday - Thundercloud

Thursday - Panera

Friday - Craig O's

If your child forgets their lunch, we have some options for them to choose from: mac and cheese or noodle soup, fruit, and a drink. The cost is $10.

We love to celebrate our students. You can send in a small toy or treat in on the week of your child’s birthday. You are also welcome to come and celebrate with us. Typically, teachers do birthday celebrations around lunch or just before the end of the day. Chat with your child’s teacher to see what works best if you plan to come and celebrate with them.

Note that we are a nut-free school, so please do not bring any nut-containing items. There may also be children with other allergies in the class, so it is helpful to check with the teacher a few days prior to the celebration so that we can ensure those students are included in the celebration.

We are a phone/tablet-free school. If your child comes to school with a phone, tablet, or a smartwatch that has texting/internet access we will ask them to keep it in their backpack/locker. If it comes out during the day, they get one warning to put it away. If it is seen again, the device will live at the front desk until pick up. If your child needs to get in contact with you during the day or vice versa, please use the main line to reach us (512-266-9620).

Students may earn an electronics pass at school. The pass allows them 20 minutes of electronics time outside of regular lessons. The school is not responsible for anything that happens to a device while at school. Students will not be allowed access to the school’s internet on their devices.

The middle school has laptops for school-related tasks. They will have access to the internet with some sites blocked. Feel free to reach out if you have specific questions about internet access and/or laptop use.

Yes! Field trips generally take place in the spring. We rely on parent drivers and volunteers to make these trips a success! We hope to make volunteering and attending the field trips easier for families this year by planning ahead.
