We are aware that there is a chance for winter weather this week. We will be closely monitoring the situation and will announce any delays or closures, if needed, through the school all-call system, the AGISD website, and through Facebook.
Just a reminder to our parents of UIL students that we encourage all participants to please attend Monday night's school board meeting, in the cafeteria at 6:00 pm, so that we may honor them for their hard work on our UIL competition. We will take a group picture, with the trophy, for all students who are present at 5:45 in the cafeteria. This way, all students and families will be dismissed as soon as their recognition is finished. Thank you for your participation!
Parents! We need your help!
Please help us stop the spread by keeping your child at home if he/she is sick. If your child is or has been running a fever of 100.0 or over, they must remain at home until they are fever free for at least 24hrs without Tylenol or Advil. Due to the increase in Covid cases, children who are sick need to stay at home until they are better. If your child has a headache, is coughing, has a fever or other Covid symptoms, please do not send them to school until they are symptom free. We invite you to contact your campus nurse if you have questions. Thank you for your help in keeping our students healthy!
We are pleased to announce the approval of an ECF (Emergency Connectivity Fund) Grant that our technology department applied for in the fall. This grant will supply funding for 100 Chromebooks for student usage. This accomplishes our district goal of 1:1 devices (meaning 1 device per 1 student) and helps us be better prepared for collecting student data, completing daily tasks in the classroom, and having extra availability for state testing, etc. What a blessing this is for our students and staff! A big thanks to Mr. Scott, Technology Director, for seeking out this opportunity and for fulfilling the necessary requirements to get us approved.
January 19, 2022 is the first day to file an application for a place on the ballot for AGISD School Board election on May 7, 2022. Applications can be obtained from Marcie Wood in the AGISD Administration Building.

Bus Update for December 14th. If your student rides bus 4 in the afternoon, it will now leave at the scheduled time.
Just a reminder of our early release day this Friday!
Some of you will be pleased to know that this should (HOPEFULLY!) be the last bus update until the Christmas break. Please pay careful attention!
This is also a good time to remind you that we are hiring bus drivers if you or anyone you know is qualified, interested, and available. Please contact Mrs. Jamie Lennon at the AGISD Administration Office to apply!
Alba-Golden is pleased to announce that our school has enrolled in STOPit.
STOPit is a technology platform that helps to deter and mitigate bullying, cyber abuse, and other inappropriate behaviors. Our aim with STOPit is to keep our students safe and cultivate a kind and respectful school climate, online and off. STOPit is a tool that works by empowering students to protect themselves and stand up for their peers online. Students now have access to the STOPit mobile app which has two features: "Report" can be used to anonymously report incidents to school contacts. "Messenger" can be used to engage in anonymous two-way communication with school contacts.
Please contact your campus administrator if you have questions.
