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.

The Pre-K and Kinder STEMtacular is Tuseday, Oct. 14, 6-8 p.m. This superhero-themed event is bigger than ever, thanks to a partnership with the Fort Worth Museum of Science, which is bringing its Family STEAM Festival to Arlington. The fun includes hands-on activities, live science demonstrations, and interactive experiences for children and parents alike. Attendees who provide feedback will even receive free tickets to the museum.
The STEMtacular is exactly what the name says. It’s STEMtacular! And it’s free! So, get your little learners – and your whole family – dress up as superheroes and come out for a STEMtacular time with family.
