Dear AISD Community,
Every day, you educate our students’ minds and hearts. Every day, you work hard to nurture their abilities and dreams to ensure that every student is ready for college, career and life. Every day, you are helping Austin’s students prepare for the future today. But, it’s not every day that we take the opportunity to pause, reflect and say thank you. I would like to take that opportunity today.
