Important Message from Nurse Barnes
If your student has medication in the Nurse’s Office, it must be picked up by the last day of school – Thursday, May 25th. Any Medication not picked up by the end of the school year will be disposed of and therefore will not be returned. Please contact Nurse Barnes with any questions or concerns that you may have regarding medication pick-up.
Thank you,
Nurse Barnes
Register by May 25 for 23-24 School Year
With Aledo ISD’s rapid growth and because we are in the middle of hiring season and our administrative teams and counselors are hard at work already on master schedules and teacher and class assignments, having an accurate enrollment number for each campus is paramount. For this purpose, we ask that you please complete registration by the last day of school on Thursday, May 25!
For registration information for new or returning students, go to www.aledoisd.org/register, and for registration information for Pre-K or kindergarten, go to www.aledoisd.org/kinder. If you have questions or need assistance, please email registration@aledoisd.org.
We also ask that if you already know your non-12th-grade student will not be returning to Aledo ISD for the 2022-2023 school year, please email that information to the PEIMS clerk on your campus. For our parents of secondary students, registering your child now is different from the course selection process you completed earlier this semester; both must be completed for students to receive their schedules next year!
District Chromebook Collection is Monday, May 22nd
*The front office will connect with students who have math classes at AHS to facilitate Chromebook turn-in on this same date.
Final Report Cards
The fourth nine-week report card grades will be accessible in Ascender Parent Portal on the afternoon of Thursday, June 1. Paper report cards will not be sent home.
- Click here for instructions for accessing report card grades in Parent Portal.
Thank you for your continued support and for your partnership! Please reach out to your child's teacher if you have any specific questions related to grades.
V O E Requests
Students who will be receiving their driver’s license or driver’s permit this summer will need to request a VOE by emailing Sarah Owings (sowings@aledoisd.org). She will process the request and an electronic copy will be emailed back to the student. Please allow 24 hours for processing.
Please do not call or email from the DMV as the request cannot be processed immediately. Any VOE provided to students during the last 5 days of school is good for the whole summer. VOEs obtained after May 25 will pull from the student's attendance record from the spring 2023 semester.
Students may swing by the office to request one before they leave for summer.

Summer School for Acceleration

This web page offers additional information, an overview video, and links to complete the enrollment process for those who may be interested.

Bearcat Care Clinics Available for Students, Staff
The end of the year and colder weather often means illnesses going around and, with that, busy doctors offices and clinics. Please remember that the Aledo ISD is proud to offer Bearcat Care Clinics at each campus to our students and employees as a convenient option when getting into your primary care doctor or going to a stand alone clinic isn’t an option for your family. We know Bearcat Care Clinics do not replace our local pediatricians, and we are so grateful for them! Bearcat Care instead is a partnership with the Parker County Hospital District where each school nurse’s clinic is set up with a medical cart similar to what you would find in a hospital setting. This Bearcat Care setup essentially turns our school nurse offices into minor care clinics able to facilitate telemedicine visits with family doctors or nurse practitioners as well as making flu, strep, and COVID testing available (all with parent consent, of course) right at school.
Parents are even able to join the telemedicine visit with the nurse and doctor from the convenience of home or work or elsewhere. If a Bearcat Care visit determines that kids or staff may need to go home or get some prescription medicine, the prescription can be called in to your chosen pharmacy to be picked up as soon as possible and eliminate additional stops or appointments when not feeling well!
Access to Bearcat Care is for any student or staff member. Registration is necessary before a visit can take place and we encourage all parents to register your students right away to avoid any delays in having to register in a pinch when your child may be sick and needing a quick telemedicine visit. Registration also must occur each year, so if you registered last year, you will need to update your registration this year. AISD staff are also encouraged to register now to be ready later. It only takes a few minutes!
Registration for Bearcat Care can be done quickly and easily here; simply scroll down and click ENROLL NOW!

Student ID Badge Information
The first badge and lanyard have been issued to students at no cost. For any student that cannot locate their ID badge at the start of the 2nd semester, a replacement badge will be ordered. Replacement costs are $10 for a new badge and $2 for a new lanyard. Payment for replacement badges/lanyards may be made in the front office from 8:00 - 8:30 a.m. by cash, check, or credit card.
School Supply Information:
Students are welcome to purchase a TI-84 Color Graphing Calculator or TI-Nspire Color Graphing Calculator (not the CAS). This is a recommended purchase, but not a required purchase since class sets of calculators are available for student use during the math class period.
The calculator you purchase will be utilized for the rest of your student’s high school years and for SAT testing. Students tend to perform their best when they are able to use the same calculator from day to day, especially during standardized testing events.
Food Deliveries
