As we wrap up Dyslexia Awareness Month, we want to thank you all for taking the time to read and learn about dyslexia. Each message was meant to shine a light on what dyslexia is - and what it’s not - while also celebrating the strengths, resilience, and creativity of individuals with dyslexia. 

Your engagement and care as a community makes a huge difference. When we understand and support one another, we help every student feel seen, valued, and empowered to reach their full potential. 

Thank you again for joining us on this journey!

We would like to recognize and honor Veterans' in the Spicewood Community. If you or a family member served in the military, naval, air, or space service and would like to participate, we would love to showcase you!

Our plan is to collect some basic information and a picture to prepare a slideshow to be shown throughout the campus in November.

Please fill out this Google Form to have your information as part of our presentation. Please fill out the form by November 3rd to participate.

Exciting news! Our neighboring schools have PreK space available in their 4-year-old classes. Let us refer you to one of our partner campuses. Eligibility and tuition-based families are welcome—share with friends and neighbors! Learn more on our PreK website.

Get ready for this year’s Fall Carnival!
Join us for a fun-filled evening featuring inflatables, exciting indoor and outdoor games, and our crowd-favorite Cake Walk! Don’t miss it!

The Panther Patrol is a parent volunteer group that coordinates with Principal and Teachers to identify volunteer opportunites that engage the community in student mentorship and campus improvements.

Parents can sign up at any of our monthly days to spend the day at Spicewood helping teachers and administrators behind the scenes with anything ranging from landscaping, preparing activities for teachers, and much more!

The dates for the school year are listed on the form so plan ahead, take the day off and join us at Spicewood! Here is the link to sign up if interested: https://forms.gle/GQUx1F2cSPZqoGwL9
