Dismissal Reminders
I wanted to remind you that dismissal doesn't officially begin until 3:35. We do come out early to start inputting numbers so that we can get kids moving as soon as possible. Some of our students do not switch back to their homerooms until 3:30, so even if you are in line early, the students may not be able to exit the building early. If their number is already on the screen, they will be dismissed as soon as their class has ended and they have packed up their belongings. 5th and 6th graders may also have to go pick up instruments, so that takes a couple of minutes as well. Thank you for understanding, and I hope this clarifies things a bit!

Masks
Approximately 85% of our students and staff have chosen to wear masks while at school. If your child wears a mask, please provide one for them. We do have some extras on campus, however our supply is dwindling. We are happy to provide one if theirs is lost, broken, or if they forgot it at home on from time to time. Thank you!
Contact Tracing & COVID Testing
If your child develops symptoms, keep him/her home and contact your healthcare provider for testing.
If you do not have a healthcare provider, email rapidtest@aisd.net and someone will contact you to schedule a rapid test appointment.
