District Announcements
Systems Affected by AWS Global Outage
The recent AWS outage is affecting educational applications for AISD, other districts and businesses because many of these platforms are hosted on AWS servers, including authentication and rostering tools (Classlink), learning management systems like Canvas, and tools for video and content delivery. The problem is a global disruption affecting multiple services in the US-EAST-1 region, which causes "increased error rates and latencies" for all applications relying on those servers.

Bear Family,
We will kick off Red Ribbon Week a week from today, Monday, October 27th!
This year's national theme is, "Life is a puzzle: Solve it Drug Free". We are looking forward to celebrating being drug-free, and to encouraging everyone on our campus to remain drug-free!
On Tuesday, October 28th, UTA Mavs 4 Youth will be providing our K through 6th grade students with an amazing Red Ribbon Week celebration that will include games and prizes! This celebration will be held during their specials time.
You should have received notices regarding this program. If you indicated that you do NOT want your child to participate, they will have to sit in the main office for the time of the program. If you indicated "NO" on the form but would like to change it, please email me at LAidoo@aisd.net, and be sure to let me know the name of your child, grade, & teacher name so that I can fix it, and so that your child won't miss out on this fun opportunity.
Dress up days are from Monday, October 27th through Friday, October 31st. ... See MoreSee Less

Dear Families,
What’s SB 12? It’s a new Texas law—effective September 1, 2025—that requires us to have your written consent each year before your child can access certain routine health or counseling services at school. This includes first aid, vision or hearing screenings, guidance lessons, social emotional learning lessons, and brief counseling visits.
Why consent matters:
Without it, your child won’t be able to receive even minor medical (Band-Aids, ice packs, temperature checks) or counseling services here.
You would need to come to school to handle such needs yourself.
Emergency care is not affected. If something serious happens, we will take action and let you know right away.
How you can help: Please review and sign the SB 12 consent form as soon as possible. It ensures your child can get support right away if needed—without interrupting their learning time.
Thank you for partnering with us to keep our bears safe, healthy, and supported all year long! Here is the link to the consent form that must be signed for your child to be seen and treated by the school nurse or counselor. One must be completed for each student attending school in AISD. You may also scan the QR Code if needed.
