Our district's student lighthouse team assembled for final preparations for the 2nd Annual Community Service Day.

We reflected on the celebrations that took place throughout the year at both campus and district levels.

Our recent Reading Academy session on pre-literacy and phonological awareness highlighted the immense dedication of our teachers to their craft.

To express our gratitude during Teacher Appreciation Week, we created a personalized flower bar. As phonological awareness is fundamental to reading, our teachers are essential to our students' success. We truly appreciate our teachers' tireless efforts.

A big thank you to our academic team, along with the support from Region 8, for providing high-quality professional development to our 2nd–5th grade bilingual teachers!

The session focused on SVE and recalibrating the lesson cycle in science, giving teachers valuable strategies to strengthen instruction. Even better, they had time to collaborate and create “make-and-take” activities that are ready to use right away in their classrooms.

We appreciate your dedication to supporting both our teachers and students!

Incredible day at TISD’s Reading Academy! We tackled oral language and vocabulary with plenty of collaboration (and iced coffee). ☕️

These educators are putting in the work for their students, and it shows. We are so proud to learn alongside them!

Campus leaders and student leaders attended the Leader in Me Symposium this past week, and what an incredible time of learning and leadership it was! 🌟

Congratulations to two of our campuses, Parks Elementary and Waggoner Creek, for presenting outstanding breakout sessions. 👏

We also celebrated Waggoner Creek and DATX for earning the prestigious Leader in Me Lighthouse School designation—an amazing accomplishment that reflects the leadership culture on your campuses! 🏫✨

Our TISD elementary and secondary student leaders played a huge role in the event as well. They assisted throughout the symposium, served as emcees, presented a breakout session, and represented TISD on the student panel. 🎤

We are so proud of each of you for representing TISD so well and demonstrating that leadership truly starts from within.
