Aldine ISD Hosts Fall Family Conference

Disponible en:

On Saturday, Oct. 21, Aldine ISD’s Family and Community Engagement (FACE) Department hosted its annual Fall Family Conference at Davis High School. Approximately 230 families from across the district attended the event to learn more about what FACE has to offer.

The families were joined by 28 district partners who attended the event. Each partner shared valuable information about their organization. There were several health exhibitors, all providing information about services, including blood pressure checks by UT physicians.

The event was divided into two breakout sessions for families. During the breakout sessions, families were able to learn about financial aid for college, sessions such as: “Your Home Buying Journey,” “Diabetes Patient Resources,” and “The Head Start Way.”  The sessions were offered in both Spanish and English, and families were able to participate in their preferred language.

After attending the breakout sessions, families returned to the main welcome area where they could interact with various community partners and district leaders, including the Aldine ISD Superintendent Dr. LaTonya M. Goffney and members of the Aldine Police Department.

It was a fun morning at Davis High School, students and their families enjoyed the breakout sessions, balloon making, a 360° photo booth, and a performance by Ballet Folklorico Citlalli. In addition, families who attended the conference were given weighted blankets, stencil kits, and personal planners.

Aldine ISD is committed to strengthening families in the district, and FACE events such as these are ways in which AISD is able to uphold those values. For more information about FACE, and any upcoming events they are having, you can click here.
