The district has started the sync for Clever, Schoology, BrainPop, eSchool/TAC, etc. for the new school year. This will now allow new employees to access the district resources. Those that have changed campuses, your new information should be populating. Thank you so much for being patient while our district resource applications roll over into the new year!

The Technology and Curriculum Conference of Aldine (TCCA) traditionally takes place in Aldine and is open to all educators from any school district, public and private. The conference will be virtual this year. This event will take place over an entire day (October 24, 2020). Although open to everyone, you will need to sign up at www.tccaconference.com. We are planning for a keynote to open the conference, and there will be 20-30 sessions taking place each hour. Invite all your educator friends to this wonderful, free event!
