Asynchronous Day Info
On Asynchronous Instructional Days, students will not attend school in-person but will engage with their teacher at home through remote means. More specific information on how families can access that engagement and how students can log on to be counted as present for the day will be provided closer to the first Asynchronous Instructional Day on Friday, January 29. Information on how to access student meals on these days will also be provided in the coming days.
These days were made possible due to the Texas Education Agency recently granting school districts waivers to schedule periodic, non-consecutive Asynchronous Instructional Days during the spring. Keller ISD administrators pursued these waivers to provide teachers with additional time to prepare lessons, make instructional adjustments, or perform any other tasks that will allow them to better serve their students in the midst of the additional challenges this school year has presented.
For the second year in a row, Aidan Smith, a member of the Fossil Ridge High School Band has earned the prestigious honor of being named a Texas All-State Musician.
Aidan was chosen for this impressive honor through a competitive process that began last fall and included District, Region, and Area levels. Not only was Aidan chosen for the All-State Band, but he placed 1st out of all trumpet students in our Area.
This is Aidan’s second time performing as a member of a TMEA All-State organization. All-State is the highest honor a Texas music student can receive.
Congratulations Aidan!
