Hello Chaparrals!

I am so very excited to join the Aubrey ISD family. This is an exceptional school district made up of wonderful students, families, staff, and community members. We are committed to providing the very best educational experiences for our students.

Excellence is our mission in every facet of the district!

Core to our mission is excellence in academic performance. The district is focused on ensuring the delivery of quality instruction for students Pre-K through 12th grade. To that end we support our teachers with a myriad of instructional materials, strategies, and professional development opportunities to ensure they have what is needed to provide meaningful classroom experiences to all students.

We are on a mission to help our students prepare to take advantage of opportunities as they progress in their lives. We want our students to have choices: the choice of going to college, attending a technical school, pursuing their chosen career, joining the military, or whatever they may dream of doing as they grow.

Students need to be prepared to meet the challenges of the 21st century. Our district is committed to providing students with experiences to fully prepare them to be successful in our ever changing world.

Aubrey ISD is devoted to providing high achieving programs in co-curricular and extra-curricular activities. Our staff works hard to ensure each and every program is given every advantage to succeed. Our programs such as athletics, band, agriculture, cheer, Academic Decathlon, UIL Academics, etc. are vital to the overall experience of our students. As a school community we believe these programs teach students many life lessons and provide great value to their growth and development.

All of this is not possible without a strong relationship and commitment to partnering with parents. We are honored that you, our parents, have given our district the opportunity to work with and to educate your children. Thank you for your trust and support as we work to help children grow, develop, and succeed now and in the future. Being an Aubrey Chaparral is special because of its people!

We are all excited and looking forward to a great 2016-2017 school year! Together we will make this a special time in the lives of students, staff, families, and our community.

Sincerely, David Belding, Ed.D. Superintendent

LET’S PUT A STOP TO BULLYING

By Chief Scott Collins

Originally this article was going to encompass one topic in our “Back to School” article. But after the events of last month I wanted to make this article a little more special than the one topic read.

Bullying today is not necessarily what it was 10 or 20 years ago. Today’s bullying culture can see a smaller student intimidating a larger one, can involve sexual overtones, can be done when neither individual has ever met face-to-face and can have much direr consequences than black eyes and stolen lunch money. Today’s bullies can hijack your child’s social media accounts, broadcast your child’s most embarrassing moments to the world and end up causing much more than bruised egos and broken noses.

If a student believes that he or she has experienced bullying or has witnessed bullying of another student, it is important for the student or parent to notify a teacher, counselor, principal, or another district employee as soon as possible to obtain assistance and intervention. The administration will investigate any allegations of bullying or other related misconduct.

If the results of an investigation indicate that bullying has occurred, the administration will take appropriate disciplinary action. Disciplinary or other action may be taken even if the conduct did not rise to the level of bullying.

The district will also contact the parents of the victim and of the student who was found to have engaged in the bullying. Available counseling options will be provided to these individuals, as well as to any students who have been identified as witnesses to the bullying. Any retaliation against a student who reports an incident of bullying is prohibited.

The principal may, in response to an identified case of bullying, decide to transfer a student found to have engaged in bullying to another classroom at the campus. In consultation with the student’s parent, the student may also be transferred to another campus in the district. The parent of a student who has been determined by the district to be a victim of bullying may request that his or her child be transferred to another classroom or campus within the district. A copy of the district’s policy is available on the district’s Web site. A student or parent who is dissatisfied with the outcome of an investigation may appeal through policy.

Cyber Bullying is a current hot topic as there have been numerous stories in the news over recent years in which cyber bullying has led to tragic outcomes. We encourage parents to be aware of what their kids are viewing and participating in online, as well as to ensure that you have access to any and all online accounts your child may have. Too often we hear parents express concern over violating their child’s privacy when keeping an eye on their virtual worlds could end up saving their lives, or at least keeping them from wandering down a negative and possibly dangerous path. There is nothing wrong with requiring your child to provide you with the password to access their phone, which you are most likely paying for them to have, nor is it wrong for parents to check their child’s email and browser history periodically. Install parental controls on your computer to keep out as many strangers as possible and require computers to be kept and/or used in public areas of the house only. These rules may not make you popular with your child, but they will help you protect him or her.

AubreyMagazine.com | August 2016

It is important for both students and parents alike to realize that there will be disagreements between students from time to time. A disagreement or argument between students does not constitute bullying, unless the disagreement persists and one party to it creates in the other a reasonable fear for his or her safety or reasonably creates an atmosphere of intimidation such that a student is unable to concentrate on his or her school work for a constant fear of being harmed or threatened. Simple arguments, even physical altercations, are not considered bullying unless they fall within the parameters of the policy detailed above. Physical altercations (fights) entail specific punishments befitting the circumstances, whereas bullying often is a collection of incidences entailing a different set of consequences for the offenders.

It is also important to note in the current climate of anti-bullying concerns, there are many instances brought to us by students and parents, alike, which are simply instances of kids being kids. Though tolerance and kindness are the ideal goal and what we hope for from each of our students, we must realize there are some days when even the best kids don’t behave as such. They have moments of whimsy that turn to disaster because, as children, they are not always capable of thinking things through to what adults would deem to be an inevitable conclusion.

Sometimes, as adults, we are guilty of the same behavior, ourselves. At AISD our aim is to help our students navigate the difficulties of growing up in the public school environment by showing compassion, understanding and by teaching them what is and is not acceptable behavior amongst peers. We want our students to be able to work out their differences amicably through communication, but what we do not encourage is for the students to attempt to address concerns alone when the situation in volatile.

Hence, we do not encourage kids to take matters in their own hands when they feel they have been bullied. It is impossible for us as District Administrators to correct problems in which we are not informed. This is a frequent problem with students who either are afraid of retribution and retaliation if they speak out, or feel nothing will be done to correct the problem and therefore do not see the benefit in bringing their problem to us. Though we [AISD Administration] diligently watch our student population, we cannot see absolutely every exchange between peers and, therefore, may be unaware there has been an incident if it is not reported.

Bear in mind there are specific areas we cannot closely monitor due to privacy laws and common decency, such as restrooms.

One of the specific problems we encounter on a regular basis is an incident in which a student does not bring a problem to us, but later he, she or their parents complain that the District does nothing to stop bullying or rectify instances of bullying. Again, we cannot fix a problem we are unaware exists. It is vital for students to learn what constitutes being bullied and that they report any instances of such actions immediately. Drama that occurs off campus and subsequently rolls onto campus or into the school day, is another concern for the District’s administration. We are not able to monitor students when they are not on school property or on a school-

sponsored trip. As such, we often have no clear understanding of the genesis of a problem and are only able to react to what has actually taken place on school grounds. We encourage you, as parents, to have frank and open discussions with your children and to monitor their relationships closely so you are aware of what is going on within their social circles.

Open communication, which we realize can be difficult to achieve, is the best way a parent can catch a problem before it has escalated into a dangerous situation.

In an effort to help students address interpersonal conflict before issues escalate past the point of being dealt with by school officials and parents, Aubrey ISD’s Police Department is setting up a new conflict resolution area. The AISD Peace Table will help facilitate a conversation and listening session for students to resolve their problems. Set up with an administrator and the two students to listen and sort fact from fiction, resolve differences and reach a peaceful conclusion. We hope to utilize this idea to work with our students and be effective in helping them to work through problems by communicating effectively with one another.

As AISD Police Chief and a member of the law enforcement community at large, I want to thank all of you in the community for all of the support over the past month. I offer this gratitude on behalf of all our local police departments and want you to know your support is something we never take for granted and that we value it more than we can adequately express.

Aubrey ISD Policy BULLYING Bullying occurs when a student or group of students engages in written or verbal expression, expression through electronic methods, or physical conduct against another student on school property, at a school-sponsored or -related activity, or in a district operated vehicle, and the behavior: • • •

Results in harm to the student or the student’s property, Places a student in reasonable fear of physical harm or of damage to the student’s property, or Is so severe, persistent, and pervasive that it creates an intimidating, threatening, or abusive educational environment.

This conduct is considered bullying if it exploits an imbalance of power between the student perpetrator(s) and the student victim and if it interferes with a student’s education or substantially disrupts the operation of the school. Bullying is prohibited by the district and could include hazing, threats, taunting, teasing, confinement, assault, demands for money, destruction of property, theft of valued possessions, name-calling, rumor-spreading, or ostracism.

AUBREY GIVES THANKS City Update From Mayor Janet Meyers

Just west of Main Street on Hwy 428, Lieutenant Townsend was spotted changing a flat tire for a lady.

To me, the community policing model means our officers know many of us by name, know where we live and know what looks out of place in our neighborhoods.

At Music in the Park where Sergeant Bruce is often the master of ceremonies, Officer Burris was seen smiling and enjoying the music, while keeping a watchful eye on the crowd.

During his training, Senior Patrol Officer Nierste asked Officer Jacobs if he was going to go after the car that had just sped past them. Office Jacobs replied no because the patrol car they were driving needed to be repaired and there was no way to safely pursue the speeder.

They really are human, these members of your Aubrey Police Department.

These men and women have families, mortgages, car payments...all that stuff. In addition, they have a badge, carry a gun, and they can be downright intimidating.

To add my own spin to a James Madison quote from the Federalist Papers: If men were angels, no police would be necessary.

We, here in Aubrey, are fortunate to have a group of intelligent, funny, committed individuals to watch over us. Chief Tommy Payne, a 39-year veteran of policing, heads our police force. Chief Payne holds many certifications in policing including a master peace officer proficiency certificate. He operates under the community policing model.

According to the Department of Justice: ...Community policing concentrates on preventing crime and eliminating the atmosphere of fear it creates. Earning the trust of the community and making those individuals stakeholders in their own safety enables law enforcement to better understand and address both the needs of the community and the factors that contribute to crime.

All of our officers, including Reserve Officer Eppler, have an intermediate peace officer proficiency certificate. Sergeant Bruce and Lieutenant Townsend offer training state-wide in Sexual Assault & Family Violence and Motorcycle Gang Recognition, respectively. According to the Chief, this amazing group of individuals embraces his community policing style and are truly here to serve the public.

Police officers often see members of the public at their worst; e.g., an emergency, an arrest. In addition, the department deals with man power shortages and aging equipment. Yet, these folks still manage to don a Santa suit at Christmas to hand out candy and small toys to children, and they wake us up with early morning poetry.

Aubrey Police Department Facebook post June 18, 2016, 7:45AM...

An early morning Haiku from the Lt.

Drugs are bad for you Don’t take that... it is not yours Red light... don’t run it

Friend the Aubrey Police Department on Facebook where, in addition poetry, you may see the Lt giving away t-shirts or offering tips on where the department will be patrolling during the day.

On a personal note: This was not the topic I had originally chosen this month. Given recent events, I could not stop thinking about the men and women across the country who stand on the proverbial wall and say “no one is going to hurt you tonight” (paraphrased from the movie A Few Good Men). May I ask you to please take a moment to ping our officers on Facebook or stop by the station to let the officers know you appreciate their willingness to serve and protect us.

Dr. Bodine exhibits a strong sense of involvement and recognizes the importance of not just being a guest in the communities he serves, but rather an active and productive member of the community. Dr. Bodine and the team at Bodine Orthodontics have built their reputation on giving back to the community.

Outside of the office, Dr. Bodine most enjoys spending time with his wife, and high school sweetheart, Courtney and their two daughters, Madeline and Evelyn. It was very important to Dr. and Mrs. Bodine to make their home in the same community Dr. B practiced in and they love seeing patients when out and about. Every now and then Dr. B tries to squeeze in a round of golf. #SMILEON

In His Presence

Why Plant Churches?

“The best reason to start an organization is to make meaning – to create a product or service that makes the world a better place.” – Guy Kawasaki

I

grew up twenty miles south of Aubrey in Flower Mound. Since my family moved to Flower Mound, some twenty-three years ago, I have fallen in love with North Texas. There is such an amazing array of culture, entertainment, business, food, music, and education found in this place.

Another thing we have here is a lot of churches. So when I tell people that we are planting (starting) a new church in Aubrey, a common question is, “Why?” Rather than list the statistical data and demographic formations of our town, my desire is to share why my heart is committed to planting churches in North Texas. There are three aspects to church planting many individuals misunderstand.

First, church planting is about collaboration, not competition.

Church planting is ultimately about churches coming together in partnerships in order to effectively minister to an area. Planting is not about starting a new franchise on the corner and pushing out the existing congregations. Unfortunately, some people do think about it in terms of Starbucks vs. Dunkin Donuts. They both sell coffee and both are competing for your business.

We must stop seeing the church in terms of consumers and realize there are still people around us who need a place to pursue God. My heart is not to ever compete with other churches, rather to join with them to make Aubrey a better place. We all love the town, so let’s love this great town together!

Second, church planting is about reaching, not rearranging.

Church planting is about reaching new people and not shuffling churchpeople around. The most effective way to reach individuals who have yet to trust Christ is to start new churches. Here in North Texas, the last thing we need is just another Sunday morning service for Christians. What we do need is more churches committed to engaging people, opening our lives and doors for people to explore a relationship with God, and realizing the Kingdom of God is moving all around us.

It would be a sad day if, five years from now, the percentage of Christians in our community had not risen. If we start a new church here and do not effectively reach new people for the Kingdom, then we are wasting our time, resources, and efforts.

Lastly, church planting is about telling new stories, not reciting old rhetoric.

Planting a new church is not a cookie-cutter process. Sure there are components of our Sunday gathering that might look similar, but starting a new church requires a group to think about how and why we do certain things. Again, there is nothing wrong with the methods of established churches (without them new churches would not exist), but because a new church is targeting new people it requires new strategies.

So rather than having a “church” building with a steeple, a new church might gather in a school cafeteria or wedding venue. Instead of planning new classes and studies, a plant plans dinners and parties to build new relationships. Tradition gives way to innovation. We tell new stories about what the church can look like and not history lessons on what it has looked like.

Planting churches requires a joint effort among congregations to reach new people while trying new things. We are planting a new church in Aubrey because we have grown to love this town, the community, and the future God has in store for it.

At Story Christian Church we are going to tell the story of what Christ has done, what he is doing now, and what he will do as the churches in DFW grow in partnerships. We are going to tell the story of a Gospel that brings people from mere existence to abundant life. We are going to tell the story of Jesus.

Jesus changes lives. People need to hear it.

Aubrey Area Museum

By Deborah Goin

he Aubrey Area Museum is open. The museum is located in T downtown Aubrey, and is showcasing over 200 items from the mid-1800s to mid-1900s. Included are old photographs, household appliances, newspaper clippings, books, quilts, clothing, and other items donated or loaned by Aubrey residents.

Included in the initial displays is the history of Aubrey schools, a showcase of four Aubrey families who have loaned memorabilia and items of historical significance to their families. In addition, there are many quilts made by Aubrey residents and community groups. Several of the quilts were fundraisers for the organizations and the community.

One of the quilts was created to raise money for the First Christian Church in 1931 to pay toward the building fund. Ladies made blocks with different size pieces in it. They paid a penny per piece in their block and the lady with the most pieces received the quilt.

There are many photos hanging on the walls of the museum of downtown Aubrey in the early 1900s. The museum was established as the result of a group of local historians who decided to document the history of Aubrey and the surrounding communities in a book that was published in 2012.

The writing of the book and history harvest events stirred much interest in the community and the Aubrey Historical Society was organized to preserve for public benefit the natural, historical and artistic heritage of the Aubrey Texas Area, with the goal of establishing a museum.

The Aubrey Area Museum is located at 209 South Main Street, in Aubrey, Texas. It will be staffed by volunteers and will be open on Saturday from 10am – 2pm, or by appointment. If you are interested in volunteering or becoming a member of the Aubrey Historical Society, please contact us by emailing AubreyHistoricalSociety@gmail.com or calling (940) 3431313. We invite anyone interested in the history of Aubrey and the area to join the organization. Membership is open to everyone.

The Aubrey Municipal Development was encouraged by the idea to preserve Aubrey area history and allowed the Historical Society to establish the museum in a building they owned that was previously a washateria owned by Ida Mae Rue. Most of the renovations of the building were donated by local businesses and individuals. Many hours of volunteer labor were involved in refurbishing the building to its current state.

The Aubrey Area Museum wants to thank the following donors for making this project a success: Graveley Doors, Steve Terry, Mary Alice Reding, Jean Burk, Pete Carrothers, Cundiff Masonry – Donald Cundiff, Aubrey Brick & Claystone, Kenneth & Carolyn Wilson, Dan Owens, Glenda Cowling, Keep Aubrey Beautiful, Sam Goin, Jack Goin,
