Important Statement from Angleton ISD - Wednesday, September 11, 2024 As many of you know, there was a school shooting in Georgia last week and another one yesterday in Nebraska. First of all, our hearts go out to the family and friends of all the victims in Georgia and Nebraska. Any time there is a shooting, no matter the location, school districts across the nation experience a rise in reports of comments about potentially threatening behavior. This has been happening throughout Texas, and Angleton ISD has received calls and reports from parents and students who are concerned about a potential threat or about a comment they have heard from someone else. We have thoroughly investigated each report we have received concerning inappropriate comments and rumors that were threatening in nature, and these comments and rumors were found not to be credible. Students made poor choices when commenting. Our main priority is the safety of our students and staff, and our administration takes any potentially threatening situation seriously and investigates them all thoroughly. AISD will follow the Student Code of Conduct to determine appropriate consequences for students who make threats or threatening comments, and law enforcement will be involved to determine any legal consequences. Often, we have students who make poor choices when making comments that are of a threatening nature. These comments and the rumors that follow can cause unnecessary panic and can disrupt the school environment. We ask parents to talk with their children about the seriousness of making threatening comments of any kind and spreading rumors. There are serious consequences for making threatening comments in person or online. We encourage students and parents to report any concerns immediately through one of the district’s reporting resources: -- Contact or tell a campus administrator. -- Contact or tell the AISD Police (979-997-7220). -- Use the Anonymous Alerts system through the app or by clicking https://report.anonymousalerts.com/angletonisd/ or by visiting the AISD website and going to Keep AISD Safe (See it, Report it). -- Call Crime Stoppers at 800-460-2222. We also ask students and parents to use these appropriate methods to communicate threats or issues. Communicating threats through social media creates more issues and concerns for our students, parents and staff. If you have questions or concerns, please contact your child’s campus principal.

Important Message about the Weather - Monday, September 9, 2024 We are currently monitoring the weather as the course of Tropical Storm Francine continues to be tracked by weather officials. Our most current forecast shows that our community is not in the path of the storm. At this time, we will continue school as normal this week. We will continue to keep an eye on the forecast and in communication with our weather experts, and we will communicate any changes if needed.

Angleton ISD is proud to announce the new website and mobile app are LIVE!! Check out www.angletonisd.net to explore our new and improved look! Keep an eye out for more details on new features and helpful tips that will keep you in the loop on everything Wildcats. AISD has worked hard to bring you an improved user-friendly platform.

REMINDER - The 2025-2026 Rezoning Survey closes on Friday, August 30. You can visit www.angletonisd.net and click on the “Rezoning Info” link to review the maps of the potential new attendance zones for the 2025-2026 school year and to complete a brief survey/form for Angleton ISD to collect input and allow our community to ask questions about the changes starting in the Fall of 2025 when we open two additional schools – Heartland Elementary and Heritage Junior High. (AISD has been developing new attendance zones as well as a new transfer policy for the 2025-2026 school year)

Driving School Zones and Speed Limits Issue - Sunday, August 18, 2024 What was reported in Saturday’s edition of The Facts about the times for school zone speed limits for secondary schools is incorrect. The school zones are not in effect from 6:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. as the paper said. The school zone speed limits for all Angleton ISD secondary schools, which include Angleton High School, Angleton Junior High and CATS/PACE Academy, are in effect from 6:00-7:30 a.m. and from 2:30-3:45 p.m. The school zone signs that are in place reflect the correct times.

SMART Tag Update for Bus Riders - Thursday, August 15, 2024 The SMART Tag system is currently not working correctly because of an issue with the SMART Tag system. Yesterday, we learned from SMART Tag that their parent portal on the website is no longer active. SMART Tag is now requiring parents to use the SMART Tag app, which needs to be downloaded from your phone's app store. We understand your frustration with this SMART Tag matter. If you have concerns or questions, we ask that you call the AISD Transportation Department at 979-864-8011. The team is manning their nine phone lines as calls come into the department, and we ask for your understanding and patience as the team works to answer all calls and questions. We continue to work with our team to make sure all our students get to and from school safely and on time.

Help us Stuff the Bus on Saturday, August 10 from 9:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m.! AISD will have a bus parked at the Kroger in Angleton to collect items for our AISD school nurses' clinics. See the flyer for a list of some of the items in need, and THANKS for supporting your schools!

Meet the team who makes the wheels go round! Join the AISD Transportation Department on Monday, August 12 from 9:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. or 2:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m. to meet your child's bus driver and pick up your child's SMART tag. We hope to see you there!

Skyward will be down starting today, July 22 through July 24 due to the district's yearly Skyward rollover process and maintenance. You will not be able to access Skyward Student Management, Family Access and New Student Online Enrollment (NSOE) during this time.

UPDATE - Angleton ISD will be open tomorrow (Monday, July 15) from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Right now, three of the facilities are still without power and will remain closed. They are the Angleton Operations Service Center (3000 Technology Dr.), Frontier Elementary (5200 Airline Drive), and Southside Elementary (1200 Park Lane). We will communicate once these facilities have power restored.
