Message from the Superintendent, April 27, 2020

Disponible en:

Dear Aldine Community,

Learning continues through the Aldine At-Home Learning Plan website, while school buildings and facilities are closed for the rest of the school year. The site is updated daily, so students should check back often. Recent updates include:

• Assistance for getting the Schoology app on your phone
• New information regarding district devices
• Digital tools to support English Language Learners
• Resources organized by grade level and subject
• Advanced academic resources available under Grade Level Resources

The COVID-19 Task Force meets daily to discuss campus reentry plans, which will be determined in the near future. No decision has been made as of today. Governor Abbott’s announcement to reopen some businesses starting May 1 does not impact schools at this time. As a reminder, Aldine ISD schools and facilities are closed through May 28, the last day of instruction.

Last week, we…

• Created a way for parents to share their pride for their graduating seniors.
• Worked to ensure all students can access WiFi via each campus.
• Announced a virtual Senior Spirit Week planned for the last week of May to celebrate the end of the school year and announced that graduation ceremonies have been rescheduled for late July.
• Held our April board meeting to discuss and approve ongoing measures to keep students safe, to keep students keep learning, and keep spirits high.
  

Please read on for additional updates and reminders.

Home Access Center

As a reminder, parents are encouraged to register for a Home Access Center account to view student report cards, update contact information, and view students’ academic schedules. The Home Access Center is different from our At-Home Learning website, which includes online learning activities for students, and the two work hand in hand. 

Virtual Learning

While our student and all online learning activities and resources can be found on our Aldine At-Home website. Students should be completing Week 8 of the Home Learning Activity Guide. 

Learning Packets

Learning packets were mailed to Aldine ISD students in grades PreK-5 beginning last week. The packets include activities that would be covered during the last nine weeks of school. The content found in the packets can also be downloaded from the At-Home Learning site.

As a reminder, secondary students (grades 6-12) will not receive paper packets.
