We had a great times at the House Rally on Friday! Thanks to all of our student groups for participating!

AISD Family Engagement Council

For the previous twenty years, Arlington ISD has convened a Title I Parent Advisory Council to support Title I funded parent engagement programming. The AISD Family and Community Engagement (FCE) Department is excited to expand the council and coalesce districtwide AISD family stakeholders to form a new AISD Family Engagement Council. The purpose of the AISD Family Engagement Council is to provide family stakeholder voice to the development and refinement of AISD family engagement initiatives, build parent capacity for district committee work and enhance communication streams between our school district and our families. A key objective for the team is to produce our districtwide AISD Family Engagement Plan that will include our various departmental family engagement metrics.

Gunn is searching for two representatives to serve on the AISD Family Engagement Council and to join for the kickoff meeting on Thursday, October 12, 2023 (6-7:30PM), at the AISD Mac Bernd Professional Development Center. (Meetings in October, January, and April to follow). Please email Dr. Varnell at mvarnell@aisd.net if you are willing to represent Gunn!
