A Message From Dr. LaTonya M. Goffney, Superintendent

Dear Aldine Community,

Can you believe we finally got some much-needed rain? It seems so long since we had any. But I hope the rain doesn’t discourage you from supporting our athletes in their upcoming games. The teams are on fire! Just check out a tweet from the Lady Generals and one from the Davis Falcons. Our middle and high school Open House events are also coming up later this month. Take the opportunity to talk with your child’s teachers and see all the great things happening in our schools.

We celebrated National School Colors Day on September 1. But we took that pride a step further. #CollegeColorsDay is every Monday in ’23-’24! I loved seeing my alma mater, Sam Houston State University, this past Monday! And looking around on social media, some educators took it even further in their classrooms by showing their colors in class!

You will find dates for our Community Meetings about Bond 2023 in this issue. Our first meeting will be on September 26 at Aldine High School. 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 for our students 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 by September 15.

I encourage you to read the issue to see which teachers received an award from Yale University, learn about a nutrition educational program to grow healthy kids, discover an exclusive literary event AISD has been selected for, read how students and staff will be seen and heard by the masses, and see how district administrators will celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month — ¡celebremos el mes de la hispanidad!

With Aldine Pride!
