School Board Appreciation
We are excited to honor and celebrate our seven Board of Trustees members throughout School Board Recognition Month during January 2022! Aledo ISD Trustees serve as a link between the community and classroom as they are selfless volunteers who spend long hours working to ensure the students and staff of the Aledo ISD are growing greatness! The Aledo ISD board - which was named the Texas Association of School Administrators 2021 Outstanding School Board for the State of Texas - is responsible for nearly 7,400 students, 850 employees and 11 campuses.
Please take the time this month to thank our Aledo ISD Trustees! Check our social media pages throughout the month of January to learn more about each of the district's seven trustees: Board President Hoyt Harris, Board Vice President Jessica Brown (featured below), Board Secretary Forrest Collins and Board Members David Lear, Jennifer Loftin, Jennifer Taylor and Julie Turner.

Student Device Information
Please remember that your student needs to bring a device and charger to school daily. We are seeing many cases where students have lost their chargers. If you have a district owned device and need a replacement charger please email Katy Smith (kasmith@aledoisd.org). Your student can also take care of this by visiting Mrs. Smith in the AMS Library. Replacement chargers are $25.
