A Message From Dr. LaTonya M. Goffney, Superintendent

Dear Aldine Community,

The weather doesn’t feel like fall, but September is upon us! It marks open house season for most of our schools. Please take the opportunity to talk with your child’s teachers and see all the great things happening in our schools. Many will also be hosting their book fairs, which are great school fundraisers and an opportunity to build your child’s home library.

National College Colors Day is tomorrow. On September 1, AISD staff and students can wear jeans, tennis shoes, and a branded college, trade school, career, or military shirt! You will see me in my Sam Houston State University shirt — Go Bearkats! College Colors Day will become a permanent part of #MyAldine! For the rest of the ’23-’24 school year, every Monday will be College Colors Day! All staff and students can wear jeans, tennis shoes, and a branded college, trade school, career, or military shirt!

You will find dates for our Community Meetings about Bond 2023 in this issue. Please join us to learn more about the $1.8 billion bond package with three propositions and how these will allow the district to fulfill our vision of providing choices and opportunities for future generations by providing our students with the learning environments they need to continue moving forward and be future-ready. We are also in the final year of our 5-year strategic plan. We need to hear from you as we look toward the future and develop a new plan. Click here to take the survey.

I encourage you to read the issue to see which AISD campuses made U.S. News Best High School Report, learn about the nearly 50 students named 2023 College Board National Recognition Program awardees; we shined the spotlight on an alum now a Tony Award winner, and see which high school athletic training staff was honored by Dave Campbell’s Texas Football Magazine.

With Aldine Pride!
