Important Message from Angleton ISD - AHS Drumline Competition Incident Today, our Angleton High School Percussion Drumline was at a competition at Pasadena Memorial High School. There were 43 AHS students at the competition along with two band directors and a percussion technical consultant. At the end of the competition, as the band directors and technical consultant were leaving the school, an elderly male who was standing in the hallway took out a handgun and fired a shot. The technical consultant was hit in the shoulder and was transported to a Houston hospital. The victim never lost consciousness. The AISD percussion director left the scene unharmed and immediately got all AHS students on the bus. All AHS students were safely accounted for and have made their way home to Angleton safely and without further incident. Our information is that the elderly male was apprehended by Pasadena police. AHS will have counselors on campus first thing in the morning on Monday when school returns to provide support for the students involved in this incident and any other students affected by this incident. We are deeply saddened by this event, and we wish to commend the Angleton ISD staff for their quick and decisive action in keeping our students safe. Our current information is that this is an ongoing investigation in which AISD will fully cooperate. Our hearts and prayers go out to all those affected by the incident, and we will continue to provide the needed support for our students and staff.

Celebrating School Board Recognition Month - Thank you to our AMAZING Wildcat School Board for their dedication to the students, staff and schools of Angleton ISD! #SchoolBoardMonth #BecauseWereWildcats

On Tuesday, AISD Superintendent Phil Edwards gave a presentation at the Brazoria County Commissioners Court, updating the court on the status of some of AISD's major projects and what lies in store for the district. Thank you to the Commissioners Court for allowing Mr. Edwards the opportunity to share about AISD. #AISDCommunity #AISDFortheFuture #BecauseWereWildcats

The January meeting began with a special recognition of the Angleton ISD Board of Trustees in honor of School Board Recognition Month. AISD is grateful for a dedicated board that passionately serves the Angleton community, ensuring the educational well-being of students and staff. “I can’t thank our board members enough for all their dedication to this district, the students, staff and AISD community,” AISD Superintendent Phil Edwards said. “We are very fortunate to have a board that works so well with each other and with the school district, and it’s because they all have a shared goal to support the students and staff of AISD and to make sure our students are provided with quality educational experiences and with opportunities for them to achieve success now and in the future. Their dedication is a true testament to their commitment to this community.” The board meeting went on to address several items of business including the replacement of the turf at Wildcat Stadium, new hires and more.

Congratulations to Hannah Birdwell! The Angleton High School senior was surprised with a check for $500 from the Taylor Whitley Show Up Foundation, which awards grants/scholarships to high school and college students who exemplify “SHOWING UP.” The character-based award shines a light on individuals who show extraordinary acts by making a difference in others’ lives, which is fitting to the award’s namesake. Shannon Whitley started the Taylor Whitley Show Up Foundation to pay tribute to her late husband Taylor. Taylor, who passed away unexpectedly in 2018, believed in goodness, kindness and generosity. These were traits that were more than just words to him; they were deeds. His life and legacy could only be described as “SHOWING UP.”

Last week, Angleton Junior High Band Director James Frasier and Raphael Jessan Laran made a stop at Southside Elementary to showcase some of the band opportunities available to them next year. They introduced many instruments to the group of 5th graders. This year, close to 300 students are in band at the junior high.

The Angleton High School Choir made a couple stops last week at AISD elementary schools. We caught up with the group when they performed at Southside. They showcased some of the great things choir has to offer at the high school level. The choir performs under the direction of Tony Stewart and Elaina Perez.

Look at these stars, look how they shine! Congratulations to the December's Star Employees! Every month we recognize AISD employees who go above and beyond each day.

Attention AISD Parents - Angleton ISD has sent parents a very important letter about the new, approved attendance zones that will go into effect next school year and which school their children will attend based on the new zones. The letter has been emailed to parents, and it was also mailed to the home addresses we have on file for each student. Parents should have already received the email today, and the letter was mailed earlier this week. It is extremely important that parents read the letter, which is specific to their children. Not only does it let parents know the school their children will be zoned to attend starting with the 2025-2026 school year, but it also has a link to a form where parents can ask questions or address concerns about where their child is zoned and a link to the transfer guidelines that start next year. If for some reason, you do not receive the letter either by email or in the mail, please call 979-864-8059.

Message about the Weather - Monday, January 6, 2024 Angleton ISD officials have been monitoring the cold weather in the AISD area. At this time, AISD will follow its scheduled plans for the week, and schools will open as normal for students tomorrow, Tuesday, January 7. When making decisions about closing school for cold-related weather issues, AISD officials examine the weather conditions to ensure travel to and from school is safe. If there is potential for snow and ice that could create unsafe road conditions, then we will review the situation and make appropriate decisions concerning canceling school. In the event of cold and rainy conditions that do not create ice or hazardous road conditions, we will continue school as we know our schools can offer safe and warm facilities for all our Wildcats. Please continue to monitor the AISD website and social media for any updates. Stay warm!
