Welcome to our first FACE Highlights edition! We hope this newsletter helps our families stay informed of district and campus events. Now more than ever, we need to work together to provide lines of communication and resources that can help our Aldine community. We would appreciate your feedback with suggestions on what information you would like to see posted here.

Hundreds of Primary and Elementary School parents attended technology trainings that helped them understand the use of Schoology at home. Our parents also learned about Clever and online resources that their children can use at home.

Aldine has been blessed with book donations from the Red Oaks Foundation and HEB. The Red Oaks Foundation donated 2,000 books that were distributed to students living in apartment complexes in the Greenspoint area. HEB donated over 5,000 books that were delivered to Shotwell Middle School and Teague Middle School.

Superintendent Dr. Goffney has already met twice with the Parent Advisory Committee to discuss important information related to COVID-19. At the first meeting held on March 26, Dr. Goffney discussed the action plan that the district implemented to adjust instruction to the Pandemic. At the second meeting held on June 3, parents and the superintendent brainstormed possible reentry plans.

In an effort to help our families during this pandemic, the FACE Department created these choice boards with activities that promote family bonding time.

"Family engagement is not a single event. It is a shared responsibility in which regular two-way communication insures that the student is on track to meet grade-level requirements." - Heather Weiss
