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.

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 patriots 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.
-Ms. Cockrill and Mrs. Escobedo and Nurse Ronalder
