A Message From Dr. LaTonya M. Goffney, Superintendent

Dear Aldine Community,

October is here! The weeks are flying by quickly, and as I visit schools, students are engaged and learning, and schools are celebrating the progress made. It brings me joy to see all the great opportunities our students have. Everyone is bustling between classrooms full of student learning, meetings, initiatives, and student games and contests. It is just the way I like it.

It takes great leaders to make things happen for our students each and every day. Leaders guide and inspire staff to meet the district’s goals. During School Principals Month in October, please take a moment to thank school principals for their dedication and commitment to our students. We will also observe Breast Cancer Awareness Month by showing our support for those fighting the disease and the survivors by wearing pink every Wednesday in October.

We have a little over a month before Election Day in November. We have been holding Bond 2023 Community Meetings to ensure you have all the information and to give you a chance to ask us questions. This is your opportunity to learn the details of three propositions in the Bond 2023 package totaling $1.8 billion. This week, we will hold three meetings — Oct. 2, Oct. 4, and Oct. 5. Details for the meetings are within this issue. Join us to discover how the three propositions will allow the district to fulfill our vision for our students to continue moving forward and be future-ready.

I encourage you to read the issue to be aware of the tax rate passed, discover upcoming events such as College Night, the Transition Expo for families of students with disabilities, a Day of Learning explicitly geared for families with students with dyslexia and read about a couple of students in our aviation program!

I look forward to seeing you at our Bond Community Meetings.

With Aldine Pride!

Dr. LaTonya M. Goffney
