This month, we’re celebrating Argyle ISD's eight outstanding principals who lead our Argyle ISD campuses with purpose, passion and heart. It's National Principals Month!

Our principals support teachers, encourage students, partner with families, build strong campus cultures and help turn our vision for students into reality. To our eight Argyle ISD principals: THANK YOU!

Thank you for the countless hours, tough decisions, big ideas, encouraging words and genuine care you give to our students and staff. We are grateful for the leadership you provide and the difference you make in the lives of so many.

Help us celebrate our principals throughout October and let them know how much they are appreciated!

Be sure to follow Argyle ISD's social media for fun videos with the Principals this month!

What a great job last weekend by the AHS Band, which earned 5th place in finals at the Bands of America competition in Prosper! Argyle was one of only two Class 5A bands to advance to finals and finished as the top-ranked 5A band in finals!

This weekend, the AHS Band heads to the UIL Regional Marching Contest, followed by the UIL Area Marching Contest on October 24.

Behind every great school district is a dedicated team of professionals who help make it all possible! In honor of Human Resources Day earlier this week, Argyle ISD proudly recognizes the team members who support our employees, serve our families, and help create a positive experience for everyone across our district.

Please join us in celebrating:

• Dr. Chris Daniel – Deputy Superintendent

• Lauren Tullos – Director of Staff, Student & Learner Services

• Jessica Mayer – Administrative Assistant

• Tory Kindred – Benefits & Leave Specialist

• Bekah Lightner – District Receptionist & Substitute Coordinator
  
  

From supporting our staff and managing benefits to coordinating substitutes and welcoming visitors, this team plays an important role in keeping Argyle ISD running smoothly. Their dedication, expertise, and commitment to serving others help ensure our employees have the support they need to make a difference for students every day.

Tickets for Argyle Middle School's fall musical, You're A Good Man, Charlie Brown, are now on sale through Hometown tickets.

The show follows Charlie and the whole Peanuts gang - exploring life’s great questions as they play baseball, struggle with homework, swoon over their crushes, and celebrate the joy of friendship. The show has a running time of approximately 70 minutes and is suitable for all ages.

Performances will be on Friday, Oct. 30 at 7 p.m. and Saturday, Oct. 31 at 2 p.m. and 5 p.m. (so still plenty of time to trick-or-treat after!) and there is also a "Great Pumpkin" decorating event (separate ticket) that is available between the two Saturday shows.

All events will be held at the Argyle High School auditorium.

Argyle ISD has named veteran law enforcement officer Kyle Barton as the district’s Interim Police Chief.

Officer Barton, who currently serves as a campus officer at the Sixth Grade Center, has more than three decades of law enforcement experience. He joined the Argyle ISD Police Department in 2025.

In his interim role, Officer Barton will oversee day-to-day police operations, officer assignments, and safety protocols across all AISD facilities. He will continue to serve at SGC as the campus officer and Interim Police Chief.

Before joining Argyle ISD, Barton built a distinguished 32-year career with the Haltom City Police Department, serving the North Texas community starting in 1992.

Throughout his career, Officer Barton has served in numerous specialized and leadership capacities, including Patrol Officer, Sergeant over Criminal Investigations, and Internal Affairs Investigator. His supervisory expertise and commitment to public safety earned him two prestigious Certificates of Merit and the honor of Supervisor of the Year during his tenure in Haltom City.

Argyle ISD is in the process of selecting a new Police Chief, a position Chief Eli Davis held from 2023 until accepting a new law enforcement position in Denton County. The district is reviewing applicants and plans to have a candidate to present to the Argyle ISD School Board in November.

The Board of Trustees will hold a regular meeting Monday, Oct. 19 and the open session will start at 6:30 p.m. (please note a special open session start time for this meeting).

Board meetings are open to the public, and time is allotted for public comment prior to discussion and action of any agenda items. Public comment is allowed on any topic during Regular Meetings and is limited to agenda items only during Special Meetings or Workshops.

Public Comment is conducted in person. Participants may sign up to speak prior to the start of the meeting at 6:30 p.m.

The meeting will be held at the AISD Administration Building, located at 6701 Canyon Falls Dr. in Flower Mound.

As the cold, flu, and respiratory illness season gets underway, one of the easiest healthy habits for Argyle ISD students is also one of the most effective: wash those hands!

Remind children to wash before eating, after using the restroom, after coughing or blowing their nose, after playing outside, and when they get home from school.

For younger kids, practice the five steps together: Wet → Lather → Scrub → Rinse → Dry.

For older students, don't forget the phones, keyboards, athletic equipment, and other frequently handled items that travel with us throughout the day.

Make the 20-second handwash a habit.
