A Message From the Superintendent

Disponible en: Español

Dear Aldine Community,

You know my favorite way to kick things off is with some good news.

This past Sunday, my husband Joseph, who recently turned 50, set a goal to run the 400-meter dash in under one minute at the Berlin Bradford Stadium in Coldspring, Texas. Joseph channeled his inner 1993 District champion, when he ran the 400 in 49 seconds. His former coaches were there as the official starter and timer, along with friends and family to cheer him on. Although he didn’t hit his goal time of 53 seconds, he put in the time and effort to reach a goal and accomplish something he set out to do (he finished in 55 seconds — not bad for a 50- year- old!). I’m so proud of him, and I recommend we all step out of our comfort zones and set meaningful goals.

There are several observances in March, including Women’s History Month. Our district proudly recognizes and supports Women’s History Month as a time to celebrate women’s incredible achievements and contributions throughout history. At Aldine, we believe in the importance of teaching our students about the pivotal role that women have played in shaping our society. We are committed to empowering the next generation of female leaders. Click here to see how Women’s History Month is being celebrated.

You will often hear me say that a school district’s most valuable resource is its people — its staff. This week we highlight Educational Diagnostician’s Week and National School Social Worker Week. Thank you for all you do and for making a difference here at Aldine ISD.

Next week is Spring Break, which marks the halfway point of our spring semester. When we return, the countdown will begin toward the end of the school year. I look forward to spending time with my family, reading, traveling, and squeezing in some rest. I encourage you to take the time to recharge so that you come back ready to make an #AldineImpact for the final stretch of the semester.

We might be off next week, but we will come back ready with several opportunities for our families and students. If you need help with the Choice School application, click here to see a list of campus sites and dates to come by for assistance; and our PreK Expo Enrollment event is on April 5.

Thank you for your continued support and dedication to Aldine. Your contributions are invaluable, and we are grateful for your commitment to our district. Let’s keep the momentum going and continue making an #AldineImpact! May everyone have a fun, safe, and restful spring break.

With Aldine Pride!
