Thank you for your flexibility this past week as it provided us an opportunity to assess facility damages, begin repairs, and prepare to welcome students back to campus. We recognize that students need to return to a normal routine and next week, March 1-5, we will offer a full week of instruction, both on campus and remotely. Please note that Friday, March 5 will be a regular school day and not an asynchronous day as previously announced.

STAAR Information Session
One of the many ways we support students in their academic growth is through standardized testing, which includes the STAAR test.
To help answer your questions about what STAAR will look like and why it's important for our students to take the test, we are hosting "Beyond the STAAR," a virtual engagement session at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday, March 9 via Facebook Live and AISD.TV.
District leaders will answer questions from a moderator and audience members via Facebook comments.
We look forward to engaging with you on this important topic!

Counselor Updates
Counselor Information:
In February we focused on Kindness! We all focused on our 20-Day Kindness Challenge and our motto was KINDNESS MATTERS. It was so wonderful to see all of our Pandas exhibiting kind acts and behaviors towards one another. Even though our challenge is over, it is important to continue to spread kindness on a daily basis.
March will focus on ❤️RESPONSIBILITY❤️! Responsibility means you are dependable, you make good choices, and are accountable for your actions.
