The Family and Community Engagement Team has compiled a list of resources to help you during the pandemic. From community resources to job opportunities, we hope this list can help you find what you are looking for.

With the goal of becoming true partners in education, Amazon started the Reading Buddies Program at Garcia Leza Primary school. Amazon respresentatives Adebempie Adelaja and Kyle Wilson met with principal Patricia Willis and FACE Executive Director Dr. Escalante to discuss this program and its future expansion to other schools in the district.

FACE will offer a Reading Club to give parents the opportunity to enjoy readng while learning strategies to help their children at home. The first meeting will be held on April 8th. Parents will have the opportunity to attend morning or afternoon meetings in English and Spanish. For more information, contact Mr. Ivan Tamayo (281)985-3786.

Mentoring in Aldine ISD can be a rewarding experience. This opportunity can break down barriers and create opportunities for our students. Mentorship has the power to influence the trajectory of a child’s future, which increases his chance of success. The mission of our mentor program is to empower students to make positive life changes that can enable them to maximize their personal and academic potential. Please consider donating your time and talent to benefit the students in Aldine ISD.
