EAGLE EXTRA!

🥳 Surprise!! We recently recognized our December Soaring Star award winner at Argyle West Elementary!

AWE Counselor Amelia Torres leads with heart, positivity, and professionalism, making students and staff feel valued and supported every day! Through her leadership of the Thanksgiving food drive, she went above and beyond to serve families across Argyle ISD with genuine enthusiasm and care.

Thank you, Amelia, for making our district better every day!

Soaring Stars are nominated by district staff, students, parents and community members. Once the winner is chosen, district and campus administration surprise the winner during the school day! They are given a $100 gift card from Amazon that is provided by our Eagle Partners.

Big news from Argyle High School! The Argyle Theatre Department made history at the Texas Thespians State Festival!

Argyle was represented by 48 students, and 11 individual events qualified for Nationals this summer in Indiana—including monologues, solo and duet musicals, and prop construction.

Franklin Arrington & Morgan Kempton scored a perfect 100 and performed at the festival’s Closing Ceremony—the first time an Argyle student has earned this honor!

Plus, their full production of Waiting in the Wings won Best Ensemble, Best Costumes, Best Sound, and Best Stage Management, with several students earning Superior and Excellent Performer awards.

Argyle Theatre is soaring—and congratulations to all these talented Eagles!

Argyle ISD's Winter Break will be December 19 to January 5. All campuses and offices will be closed during this time. Campuses will resume regular schedules on Tuesday, Jan. 6. District staff will have a virtual day of work on Monday, Jan. 5.

Congratulations to AHS senior Isabella Tafur for being recognized as an Argyle ISD High Flyer!

During the Thanksgiving food drive, Isabella helped sort donations with her Student Leadership class, impressing district staff with her hard work and positive attitude. Even more impressive, she volunteered her time to return and help again, took on a challenging task on her own, and knocked it out of the park!

Her dedication, initiative, and service-minded character are exactly what the High Flyers program celebrates.

Isabella was surprised with this recognition in her class by the Argyle ISD Communications Department staff and campus administration! High Flyers win a $25 gift card of their choice!

Hundreds of band students across Denton County recently competed for placement in the Class 5A Texas Music Educators Association All-Region Band. We are thrilled to share that Argyle had an incredible showing to earn spots in the TMEA Region Band and advance to the Area Round.

Several students have advanced to the Area contest in January, where they will compete for placement in the TMEA All-State Band. Congratulations All-Region Band!

The Argyle ISD School Board hosted a special event on Wednesday as more than 150 students, teachers and coaches gathered at AHS to be recognized.

Argyle ISD also hosted a special guest as State Representative Andy Hopper was in attendance and spoke briefly before congratulating all the students and groups during the event.

As we begin the winter weather season, Argyle ISD would like to remind our students, staff, families and community of the district's Inclement Weather Procedures.

Agyle ISD collaborates with the National Weather Service, Denton County officials and neighboring school district before making decisions to close or delay school. Officials attempt to provide details about school closings to staff, students and parents by no later than 6 a.m.

Factors considered before making a weather-related decision about school include:

• road conditions, temperatures
• the presence of snow, ice and sleet
• student driver safety
• sidewalk and parking lot conditions; and
• the ability for staff who live outside the district to get to work
• whether or not HVAC systems are operating correctly; and
• whether or not neighboring school districts are having school.

Notifications
Argyle ISD will send alerts and updates via multiple communications tools. The district will post to the AISD Facebook, X and Instagram accounts. Parent email & text notifications will be sent by the district's mass notification system (ParentSquare). Notifications will also be posted to the district website to help keep parents, students, staff and the community informed of all weather-related alerts.

If you are not currently receiving ParentSquare messages please contact Christopher Sayler at christopher.sayler@argyleisd.com.

Social Media Reminder: False reports of school closings, accidents or injuries by students will not be tolerated, nor will inappropriate language or references that violate the Student Code of Conduct.

Radio & Television Announcements: Official announcements during inclement weather will also be announced on DFW radio and television stations, including WBAP 820 AM, NBC 5, Fox 4, KTVT Ch. 11 and WFAA Ch. 8.
