Saturday Sessions for AP Exam Prep
We have an EXCITING opportunity to support our AP students as they "spring" into AP exam success!
This year AHS and DNG AP teachers will be hosting a series of AP test preparation sessions in the month of April designed to help students prepare for their upcoming AP exams on select Saturdays in April. These sessions are completely optional for students to attend and are not for a grade. Each of the Saturdays will have morning and afternoon session offerings. Students are encouraged to come in comfortable clothing and bring drinks and snacks!
Students can choose to attend the session(s) that works best with their schedule. Please note that not all teachers will be presenting at every session. Also, know that teachers will repeat the review material each session. So, you don't need to attend every session available for your AP course. For students who are unable to attend an AP Saturday review session, we ask that they reach out to the teacher for the review materials that they will be covering! Teachers will make the review materials available to students who are unable to attend in person sometime in April!
Here is the direct link to reserve your session choice(s) or you can use the QR code on the flyer below!

Aledo ISD Parent Survey
Beginning Monday, Feb. 27, 2023 through 4 p.m. on Friday, March 10, 2023, we are asking all Aledo ISD parents and guardians to complete an online survey that will address topics such as engagement, safety and climate in your child’s schools. These surveys are completely anonymous; we will only ask that you identify which campus you are completing the survey about.
A link to the survey will be sent from the communications@aledoisd.org email address on Monday, Feb. 27, to parents and guardians using the email we have on file through the Parent Portal system. Please fill out the survey once for each campus where you have a child attending; so if you have a child at McCall Elementary, McAnally Middle School and Aledo High School, you would fill out the survey three times, selecting a different campus each time.
Your feedback and opinions are very important to us, and we use data from this survey to better understand your expectations and areas that we can improve to better serve our Bearcat students and families.
April 6: Deadline to register to vote in May 6 election
The deadline to register to vote in the upcoming May 6, 2023, Aledo ISD bond election is Thursday, April 6, 2023. Texas law requires eligible voters to register by the 30th day before Election Day. Visit www.votetexas.gov to see if you are registered or to find the steps to register to vote.
Election Day is Saturday, May 6, 2023, and Early Voting begins on Monday, April 24, 2023.
If you recently moved, you likely still need to take steps to make sure you are registered to vote based on your new address.

Bring Your Student ID Badge & Chromebook

Payment for replacement badges/lanyards may be made in the front office from 8:00 - 8:30 a.m. by cash, check, or credit card.
Bearcat Care Clinics Available for Students, Staff
The end of the year and colder weather often means illnesses going around and, with that, busy doctors offices and clinics. Please remember that the Aledo ISD is proud to offer Bearcat Care Clinics at each campus to our students and employees as a convenient option when getting into your primary care doctor or going to a stand alone clinic isn’t an option for your family. We know Bearcat Care Clinics do not replace our local pediatricians, and we are so grateful for them! Bearcat Care instead is a partnership with the Parker County Hospital District where each school nurse’s clinic is set up with a medical cart similar to what you would find in a hospital setting. This Bearcat Care setup essentially turns our school nurse offices into minor care clinics able to facilitate telemedicine visits with family doctors or nurse practitioners as well as making flu, strep, and COVID testing available (all with parent consent, of course) right at school.
Parents are even able to join the telemedicine visit with the nurse and doctor from the convenience of home or work or elsewhere. If a Bearcat Care visit determines that kids or staff may need to go home or get some prescription medicine, the prescription can be called in to your chosen pharmacy to be picked up as soon as possible and eliminate additional stops or appointments when not feeling well!
Access to Bearcat Care is for any student or staff member. Registration is necessary before a visit can take place and we encourage all parents to register your students right away to avoid any delays in having to register in a pinch when your child may be sick and needing a quick telemedicine visit. Registration also must occur each year, so if you registered last year, you will need to update your registration this year. AISD staff are also encouraged to register now to be ready later. It only takes a few minutes!
Registration for Bearcat Care can be done quickly and easily here; simply scroll down and click ENROLL NOW!
Student ID Badge Information
The first badge and lanyard have been issued to students at no cost. For any student that cannot locate their ID badge at the start of the 2nd semester, a replacement badge will be ordered. Replacement costs are $10 for a new badge and $2 for a new lanyard. Payment for replacement badges/lanyards may be made in the front office from 8:00 - 8:30 a.m. by cash, check, or credit card.
School Supply Information:
Students are welcome to purchase a TI-84 Color Graphing Calculator or TI-Nspire Color Graphing Calculator (not the CAS). This is a recommended purchase, but not a required purchase since class sets of calculators are available for student use during the math class period.
The calculator you purchase will be utilized for the rest of your student’s high school years and for SAT testing. Students tend to perform their best when they are able to use the same calculator from day to day, especially during standardized testing events.
Food Deliveries
Student Cell Phones
- Cell phones are allowed for student use before school, after school, during your student's lunch, and passing periods.
