EAGLE EXTRA!
Home of the latest news, photos & videos in Argyle ISD
Argyle ISD students will be off on Friday, Feb. 10. This will also serve as a campus professional development day for teachers and staff.
Additionally, Argyle ISD will use one of its two bad weather days on Monday, Feb. 13. All schools and offices will be open on regular daily schedules. The second bad weather day is Monday, April 10. If AISD does not miss another day due to bad weather prior to that date, it will serve as a school holiday for all students and staff.
The district is only using one of its bad weather days at this point due to additional minutes built into the instructional calendar.

We were excited to welcome back our Eagles students on Monday this week! We hope everyone enjoyed the extra time off last week due to the inclement winter weather. Argyle ISD schools and offices were closed the entire week. The district will use one of its two bad weather days on Monday, Feb. 13 due to the lost instructional time.
We appreciate all our Eagle families that shared their fun snow/ice day photos on Facebook. We used a few of them for this fun graphic! Welcome back!
Here's a day that is always a fun one on the elementary campuses - the 100th Day of School! Well, the winter weather forced a change of schedule for our campuses.

The Argyle ISD Board of Trustees unanimously approved the adoption of a 10-year strategic growth plan at the Tuesday, Jan. 17 regular School Board meeting.
CLICK HERE to visit the Strategic Growth Plan webpage.
The plan includes elementary, middle and high school growth strategies and priorities. Among them, the high school configuration would include the district splitting into two separate 9th-12th grade high schools when AHS reaches 2,700 students enrolled. AHS currently has 1,474 students in grades 9-12.
District administration and the Board of Trustees will review and revise the growth plan as needed. Both will also have regular collaboration with the district's demographers and financial advisor.
"Our greatest intention is to provide the best opportunity for our children to be well educated and well-rounded citizens that will one day be leading us," School Board President Sam Slaton said. "This 10-year Strategic Growth Plan presented by district administration and adopted unanimously by the Argyle ISD Board of Trustees, is a living document that will serve as a guide to address the future growth needs of our district."

The Argyle High School swimmers had their best performances of the season at the UIL Class 5A Region II meet in Mansfield earlier this week.

Junior Reese Andrews finished 7th in the 100 Freestyle. Senior Joe Bernal took 9th in the 100 Backstroke. All three swimmers set personal records in their events. While they didn't qualify for the state meet, they did produce impressive showings and represented Argyle High School very well.
