AISD Celebrates
Being Exemplary

Friday, July 30, 2010

The Texas Education Agency (TEA) has posted its yearly accountability ratings, and Angleton ISD has taken the top ranking of “Exemplary”.  TEA’s ratings are based on student and school performances on the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS).

“Our students and staff did some pretty amazing things this year, and earning the exemplary rating is just another affirmation of all their hard work,” AISD Superintendent Dr. Patricia Montgomery said.  “I’m so proud of all of the AISD family.”

According to Montgomery, every AISD campus was rated either recognized or exemplary (see below), which is something she attributes to the staff’s willingness to do whatever it takes for their students to be successful in all aspects of school, not just the TAKS.

“The AISD staff is dedicated to providing our students with the best education possible,” she said.  “Our focus wasn’t the rating.  Instead, we looked at what is best for our students and wanted to push excellence in all fields.  The rating is just icing on the cake of a great year of accomplishments.”

Montgomery says that next year the district will continue its commitment to providing quality education in and out of the classroom and that the district will always strive to maintain its tradition of excellence.

“Our goal is to educate the entire student, both in academics and character,” she said.  “Our success comes from our enthusiasm for what we do and for our sincere love of children.  As educators, we are obligated to do our very best, and at AISD we accept nothing less because we know our students are learners today but leaders tomorrow.”

2010-2011 Immunizations

The Texas Department of State Health Services is encouraging parents to get their children vaccinated now to avoid the back-to-school rush later this summer.  For the 2010-2011 school year, the requirements will also apply to 1^st and 8^th graders who did not receive the required vaccines in kindergarten or 7^th grade.

“We want parents to plan ahead,’’ Dr. David Lackey, DSHS commissioner, said.  “Schoolchildren should get vaccinated as soon as possible to avoid long wait times at clinics and ensure they are protected before the first day of school.”

With new requirements implemented last year, many physicians’ offices and clinics were overwhelmed last summer by last-minute demand for vaccines.  Children are required to be fully immunized before the 1^st day of school.  Last year the Department of Health Services extended the deadline for parents to get their children in compliance with requirements for school attendance.
