We're Gearing up for Summer Reading!
Forms have been sent home so students can participate in Rountree’s summer reading program. Students will be allowed to check out books to take home for the summer in order to avoid the “summer slump” in reading levels. Please return these forms as soon as possible so we can begin preparing books for checkout.
Allen ISD Website Redesign - Input Needed
The AISD Communication department will be redesigning and updating the Allen ISD website starting this summer. We would appreciate your opinion on the current website as we look to make changes.
