Attention Aldine ISD Families: Parents, Legal Guardians Need to Complete Annual Update; Deadline October 28

Disponible en: Español

Families can access the Annual Update, if not yet completed, online.


All Aldine ISD parents/legal guardians must complete the Annual Update to ensure student, family, and emergency contact information is accurate and up to date. The deadline to complete the Annual Update is Friday, October 28, 2022.

Who Needs to Complete the Annual Update

Families with Returning Students to Aldine ISD: Families with a student actively enrolled at any Aldine ISD school on the last day of the 2021-2022 school year.

  • Your child is considered a current student even if you have moved within the Aldine ISD boundaries and attending a new campus in 2022-2023.
  • Additionally, your child is regarded as a current student if they attend a new school due to grade promotion (i.e., promoted from elementary to middle school).

One Vital Reason to Complete the Annual Update

Communication Between Families and Schools: The Annual Update ensures parents and legal guardians verify or update important information — home addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, a student’s health/food allergies, and emergency contacts — to stay connected to their child’s school.

2 Other Critical Reasons

  • Impacts School Funding — The state uses the annual update data to determine how Title Funds are allocated to school districts, including Aldine ISD. Title Funding includes free school meals, assistance in the event of a disaster, and much more.
  • Free Student Meals — Aldine ISD participates in the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP), which allows eligible schools to provide meal services to all students at no charge, regardless of economic status. The CEP uses direct certification data and does not rely on annual household applications used in the past to determine free and reduced-priced lunches availability.

All the information provided by families remains confidential. Whether or not your child plans to eat school lunches, it is crucial to fill out the family income information to ensure our schools receive maximum funding. Completion of the Annual Update helps ensure that all students receive nutritious meals.
