Argyle ISD campuses will be honoring the victims and heroes of 9/11 with special tributes on Friday. We take time Friday all across the district to remember those who were lost and honor the first responders for their sacrifice.

• Argyle High School students will wear red, white and blue, and special presentations will be made during U.S. History classes each period.

• During Argyle Middle School Social Studies classes, students and teachers will have special tributes including the showing of The Man in the Red Bandana, a documentary film of a hero who saved several lives in the South Tower.

• Hilltop Elementary, Argyle West Elementary and Argyle Intermediate students and staff will wear red, white and blue in remembrance and pay tribute during the daily announcements.

Get ready Hilltop Elementary and Argyle Intermediate Grandparents! On Monday, Sept. 14 both campuses will be hosting Grandparent Parades on campus to celebrate in a different type format this year.

With current safety guidelines prohibiting visitors on campuses, both schools have provided a creative new way to make sure their grandparents are celebrated. Grandparents of both campuses will drive along a route around the campus with students ready to celebrate with them from the sidewalks! Make sure to visit the Hilltop Elementary and Argyle Intermediate websites for more information on the routes or contact the campuses for details.

This is a friendly reminder for parents/guardians regarding district guidelines pertaining to students attempting to ride the bus home with friends.

For the safety of all our Eagle riders, bus transportation is provided only to registered bus riders. Students are only allowed to ride their assigned bus. Emergency transportation may be granted on a temporary basis by the Assistant Director of Transportation. Also, please remember that notes from parents/guardians are not accepted as authorization to ride a bus.

The 2020 U.S. Census provides critical data that lawmakers, business owners, teachers, and many others use to provide daily services, products, and support for the community. Every year, billions of dollars in federal funding go to hospitals, fire departments, schools, roads, and other resources based on census data.

You can respond to the census online, by phone, or by mail. Census takers will continue to follow up in-person with homes across the country through September 30 in an effort to reach everyone.
