Welcome to the 2025–2026 school year at Austin Parkway Elementary!
My name is Jamie Flores, and I’m honored to serve as your PTA President. I’ve served on the PTA for the last three years in a variety of roles and was elected to the President position for the 2024–2026 term. Our family has been part of Fort Bend County for six years, and we love being part of the Austin Parkway community. I have a son in third grade and two wonderful nieces—one in second and one in third—so you’ll often see me around the school wearing many hats (and likely carrying a snack bag or two).
Whether you're new to APE or returning for another exciting year, I want to personally welcome you to our school community. One of the things that makes Austin Parkway so special is the heart behind our parent involvement. Our PTA is more than just a group of volunteers—it’s a network of caregivers, educators, and community members working together to make school a place where every child can thrive.
Our mission is simple: to enrich the student experience, support our teachers and staff, and create meaningful connections between home and school. We understand that every family has different capacities and schedules, and we wholeheartedly encourage you to PTA Your Way.
When I first came to Austin Parkway, my work schedule often kept me from volunteering during school hours. I was so grateful to discover that the PTA offered ways to get involved from anywhere—whether it was contributing financially, donating snacks for class parties, helping at an evening event, or simply cheering from the sidelines. Every act of involvement—big or small—matters. And it’s all appreciated.
So whether you’re ready to chair a committee or you’ve got an hour to spare once a semester, we’d love to have you on board.
Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have questions, ideas, or just want to say hello. You can reach me anytime at president@austinparkwaypta.org. I look forward to meeting you and working alongside you to make this an amazing year for our students and staff.
With gratitude and excitement,
Jamie Flores
