It is Counselor Appreciation Week! Ms. Curran and Ms. Winfrey are the best from coast to coast. Be sure to thank them this week and show your appreciation for all they do for our students and for our adults!
We hope you can join us at 5:30 pm this Wednesday, February 4th for our Hill Bond Construction Community Meeting that was requested through PTA. The meeting will take place with AISD leadership in the cafeteria to listen to questions and take feedback our community may have. We encourage interested community members to join us.

Personal safety lessons focused on self-advocacy and body boundaries will be taught during counseling lessons the weeks of February 9–20, 2026. Please note that unforeseen circumstances may require a lesson to be rescheduled after February 20. Please review the lesson materials and family resources and let us know if you would like your student to opt out. If we do not hear from you, we will assume your student will participate.

Onward to February, everyone!
