National Assistant Principal Week; Give Your AP a Shout-Out!

Disponible en: Español


Assistant principals are dedicated and work hard work for Aldine Independent School District children. They often work in the background providing teacher support, student motivation, principal support, and cultivating a positive learning environment.

“I am incredibly proud of our dedicated school administrators and their work creating safe and successful school cultures. These thought leaders are instrumental in a school’s success, always putting students first,” said Superintendent Dr. LaTonya M. Goffney. “Thank you for doing fantastic work at our schools this year. I invite the community to join me in honoring assistant principals during National Assistant Principals Week.

AP Responsibilities

Assistant principals ensure high standards of student performance in a safe learning environment. Their leadership helps ensure our buildings operate smoothly daily and that our students receive high-quality learning experiences. They work closely with their campus principals to:

  • analyze data and develop plans to improve student achievement;
  • monitor student behavior and enforce discipline rules;
  • coordinate a system for tracking student attendance and tardiness by enforcing attendance policies;
  • select and evaluate school staff;
  • maintain effective communication and form positive relationships with school customers, and more.

Chief of Schools Dr. Katy Roede stated that the district is fortunate to have an exceptional team of assistant principals and is grateful for their hard work and dedication. Roede asks that if you cross paths with your assistant principal, to wish them a happy AP Week. Assistant principals should be on the lookout this week. The district will honor assistant principals with a small gift delivered to each school throughout National AP Week. Be sure to share using the hashtags #AldineConnected and #APWeek23.

Thank you, Assistant Principals, for all you do, and keep up the great work!
