Austin Tracy Stakeholders,
It's time to begin taking nominations for Parent Representatives for our school's Site Based Decision Making Council (SBDM). Being a member of our school's SBDM is extremely important, because it requires a collaborative approach to ensure we are meeting the needs of all students! The result is increased student achievement, and living up to our school's mission! Here are a few of the key characteristics of why our SBDM is important to our school:
Empowerment of Stakeholders: SBDMs empower teachers, parents, and community members to have a voice in decision-making processes, fostering a sense of ownership and accountability.
Tailored Solutions: Councils allow for decisions that reflect the unique needs and circumstances of the specific school community, rather than imposing one-size-fits-all solutions from higher authorities.
Enhanced Collaboration: By bringing together diverse stakeholders, SBDMs promote collaboration and open communication, leading to better understanding and trust among teachers, parents, and administrators.
Increased Responsiveness: SBDMs can respond more quickly to emerging challenges and opportunities within the school, facilitating timely and effective changes.
Focus on Student Achievement: Councils prioritize student needs and outcomes, ensuring that decisions are made with the primary goal of enhancing educational quality and student success.
Professional Development: Participating in decision-making councils can provide valuable professional development opportunities for teachers and staff, enhancing their skills in leadership and collaboration.
Budget Management: SBDMs have a role in budget allocation, ensuring that resources are directed toward initiatives that directly benefit students and align with the school's goals.
Community Involvement: Engaging parents and community members fosters a stronger school-community partnership, which can lead to increased support for school initiatives and programs.
The parent nomination window will be open from April 21st through May 2nd. Elections will be held from May 5th through May 9th. If you would like to nominate a parent, or yourself, please complete an ATE SBDM Parent Nomination Form and submit it to the front office by 3 pm on May 2nd. Nominations forms will be sent home with students on April 21st and are available in the front office. If you have questions about the roles and responsibilities of our school's SBDM, please reach out to Mr. Johnson at 270-646-2236.
The BCHS Boys Basketball Team will hold their annual youth camp on May 27-30. Please see the attached flyer for more details and a registration form. The camp is based on the grade for next year. Please contact Mr. Warren Cunningham at BCHS If you have any questions. 🏀

The severe weather over the last two years has done a number on our outdoor classroom and walking trail. While our maintenance department has helped remove priority trees that were on the fence and power lines, we have several trees and limbs that need to be cleaned up so that the area can be better utilized. Our Austin Tracy family has always come through when needed, and we are asking for any volunteers to come help with a Campus Cleanup Day on Saturday March 29th from 8 am-12 pm. If you have access to, and are willing to bring, chainsaws, pole saws, trailers for hauling debris, skidsteers, and any other equipment that would help with this, it would be greatly appreciated. If you are willing to help, please reach out to Lee Johnson at 270-646-2236. Have a great day!
We were blessed to have Ben Wells, guitarist from the band Black Stone Cherry, come to read his new book “Good Girl, Sunny Pearl”. He authored and illustrated the book! He also brought Sunny Pearl to meet our friends!
If you are interested in purchasing the book, there are two QR codes posted in these photos that will direct you to links to purchase the book in both paperback and hardcover options!
PTO is ready to kick off their spring fundraiser with a Raffle Calendar Sale! Calendars will be $20 each and have some great prize options! Flyers and order forms will be sent home with students starting tomorrow. Once order forms are returned, the PTO will send the actual raffle calendar (that has unique calendar numbers) home with students. You must hold onto the calendar so we can match up the winning number drawn for each day with the corresponding calendar that was purchased. Each day in April, the winning number drawn will win that particular prize detailed on each date. Winning numbers will be posted on the AT Facebook page and PTO will contact the phone number provided when the calendar number was purchased. We are selling these raffle calendars until March 31st. A photo of the calendar is attached. It has some amazing prizes. Please acknowledge and support these businesses that stepped up to donate to this fundraiser. If there are ANY questions about this fundraiser, please reach out to any PTO officer.
