Austin ISD calendar/holidays

Is it just me, or does AISD have an unusual number of school holidays/days off? My kid is at Doss and they have 10/9 and 10/12 off for conferences. I don’t think my kid’s teachers are even offering conferences on either day. Is this number of student holidays normal?? Is it the same at charters and private schools?

For parents worried their baby is experiencing a speech delay

Hi parents! I wanted to share a fun activity we did with my little one at UT 🤘 They need a lot more participants, so I wanted to help them out by sharing with this community. They’re specifically looking for toddlers who might have a speech delay.

We participated in a toddler language-learning study at the UT ChiLDS Lab, and it was such a sweet experience! The visit was just one time, and my toddler got to play some fun language games. They also had the option to wear a soft, stretchy “brain cap” that helps the researchers measure brain activity while kids play — it was safe and honestly really cute. 🧠

They have weekend availability, free parking, and they offer up to $80 as a thank-you for participating.

If you’re looking for something different to do with your toddler and want to support child development research, I definitely recommend checking it out!
