The last two weeks were very difficult as a result of the devastating winter storm. As we navigate beyond the challenges of the past week, we are thinking of our Andrews Community. We will continue to get through this together. Please follow the links below to find lists of resources.

The AISD Family Engagement Newsletter has helpful information and resources.

In addition to working on physical health, AISD is reminding us to take care of our mental health as well. The AISD Mental Wellness Newsletter contains strategies, resources, and tips for dealing with stress.

We recognize the challenges many are facing as a result of the winter storm. If you would like to request support from Andrews Elementary, please fill out the Community Support Request Form below. Please note, not all requests are guaranteed to be fulfilled.
