Argyle Intermediate School Principal

We have a busy spring semester coming up at AIS!

Students are working hard to be the very best they can be. We are kicking off our popcorn wall to recognize students of good character who are “popping up” everywhere. Students and staff can write a shout-out to any AIS family member, describing how that person exhibited one of the 11 good character traits as outlined by the Texas Education Agency Counseling Program. Shout-outs are read over announcements each day to highlight our amazing and kind-hearted students. They make us proud!

We are kicking off UIL teams this month. Fourth- and fifth-grade students can compete in 11 different categories from Music Memory to Chess Puzzles and Ready Writing. The UIL Meet will take place at Hilltop Elementary on April 16. We will compete against fourth- and fifthgraders from Argyle West Elementary. It will be an exciting day of fierce but friendly competition.

Our student leaders will be spreading kindness on National Kindness Day in February. They will paint messages on rocks that will be hidden around the school. Every student will find at least one specially painted rock with an inspirational message. At AIS, our mission is to make sure all students know they are valued and an important part of our school family. The Kindness Rock Project will be a fun way to inspire others to continue spreading kindness.

Our AIS PTA has continued to support our students and staff this school year. They treated all of us on National Cookie Day to delicious chocolate chip cookies. They also provided lunch for the entire staff several times this year. They have supported us through the purchase of programs such as Go Guardian and supplies for classrooms. It has taken some creativity, but our AIS PTA always responds to our needs with creativity and encouragement. Students had so much fun earning money for our school at the Jungle Run and decorating their teachers’ doors with turkey feathers. There is more fun to come this spring!

AIS continues to be an amazing place to learn, make friends, and have fun!
