2 Dr. Louis Stoerner Dear Parents and Community Members: EMERGENCY CLOSINGS In the event of emergency school closings, local radio and television stations will be notified so the information can be announced to the public. Superintendent s Message The beginning of a new school year is always an exciting time for our teachers, parents, and especially our students. As our summer draws to an end, the Alief Independent School District anxiously awaits the school year. Our focus remains on preparing our students for tomorrow while caring for them today. The upcoming year will bring new challenges, including beginning the implementation of the state s new accountability system, which is a result of the 81st Texas Legislative Session and is intended to be easier for our public to understand. We also begin the year celebrating the continuation of improvements in our students academic achievement over the last few years. Although our final campus accountability ratings from last year will not be officially released until the end of summer, preliminary reports predict that we will have seven campuses rated exemplary and 17 schools rated as recognized. Unfortunately, although Hastings, Elsik, and Taylor made significant achievement gains and met the academic requirements of being recognized campuses, our completion rates fell just short of the requirement. Completion and/or dropout rates continue to be a concern and focus of most districts across the state. Alief has seen improvements in these figures over the last two years as we have reached out to dropouts and re-enrolled several hundred students into new and innovative programs that better meet their personal and instructional needs. Our Night High School, which allows students who have fulltime employment to return to school, or our S.O.A.R. program, which enables students who have fallen behind to catch up by accelerating the number of classes a student can take during a semester, have been well received and appreciated by high school students. We also think that this year s new Early College High School will be another innovative program that will better meet the needs of our students in becoming college or career ready. The Early College High School, which is a partnership with HCC, will give incoming freshmen the opportunity to gain college credit while meeting their high school graduation requirements. The best part is that it is tuition free. Another exciting new program is our Dual-Language Immersion pilot program, which will begin this fall at Holmquist Elementary. English and Spanish-speaking students will be in the same classroom, receiving 50% instruction in Spanish and 50% in English. One of the goals is for our students to become bilingual and biliterate. These programs are great additions, but we all realize that the most important factor in determining our success is in the learning that takes place in each and every classroom at every campus and every grade level, along with the caring relationship our teachers have with their students. We are fortunate to have some of the best teachers in the state. I feel certain that their efforts, in conjunction with their students hard work and our continued partnerships with our community, will make another exceptional year in Alief. I hope that you have enjoyed the summer so far, and that you have had the opportunity to enjoy time with your friends and family. In just a few weeks, we look forward to having everyone back in school. Classes will start on Monday, August 24. Be safe and try to stay cool while enjoying the rest of your summer vacation. Sincerely, Dr. Louis Stoerner Superintendent Alief Independent School District 2.

Students who are eligible for services under 504 are not necessarily also covered under the provisions of Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) which calls for the provision of special education services. Section 504 procedures may not be used to resolve disagreements with admission, review, and dismissal committee decisions. Eligible students with disabilities have the right to participate in and benefit from public education programs without discrimination on the basis of a disability. They have the right to equal opportunity to participate in school programs and extracurricular activities. The law states that an eligible person with a disability is one who has, has a record of having, or is regarded as having, a physical or mental impairment which substantially limits a major life activity such as learning, self-care, walking, seeing, hearing, speaking, breathing, working, major bodily functions (immune system, normal cell growth), sleeping, standing, lifting, bending, reading, concentrating, thinking, communicating, and working. In the school setting a substantial limitation on learning must be demonstrated by an education need. This may be evidenced by an inability to be successful with school work, serious behavior problems, or any other physical or mental impairment which interferes with learning. The principal of each building has designated a Campus Section 504 Coordinator who will be the person responsible for implementing eligibility procedures and the provision of educational services. Jennifer Key is the person designated by the Alief Independent School District as the District Section 504 Coordinator for students. Should the need arise you may contact her at X4670. Alief ISD does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, handicap or sex. The career and technology education program operates in accordance with the provisions of Titles VI, VII, and IX and Section 504 of the Department of Health, Education and Welfare. Alief ISD program admission procedures, facilities and graduation requirements are designed to eliminate discrimination. Alief ISD will take steps to ensure that lack of English language skills will not be a barrier to admission and participation in all programs, including career and technology education. For information about your rights or grievance procedures, write the Assistant Superintendent of Human Resources at P.O. Box 68, Alief, TX 77411, or call , ext

6 Dr. Louis Stoerner Estimados padres de familia y miembros de la comunidad: CIERRE DE EMERGENCIA En caso de que se ocurra el cierre de emergencia de las escuelas, las estaciones de radio y televisión locales darán aviso para que se pueda ofrecer la información al público. Mensaje del Superintendente El comienzo de un nuevo ciclo escolar siempre es emocionante para nuestros maestros, padres de familia y, especialmente, para nuestros estudiantes. Mientras el verano se acerca a su final, el Distrito Escolar Independiente de Alief espera con ansias la llegada del ciclo escolar Nuestro enfoque sigue siendo preparar a nuestros estudiantes para el mañana mientras cuidamos de ellos hoy. El próximo año traerá consigo nuevos retos, incluyendo el comienzo de la implementación del nuevo sistema de rendición de cuentas del estado, el cual es resultado de la LXXXI Sesión Legislativa de Texas y pretende ser más fácil de entender para el público. Además, comenzaremos el año celebrando la continuación de las mejoras en el aprovechamiento académico de nuestros estudiantes, logradas durante los últimos años. A pesar de que las clasificaciones finales del año pasado de nuestro plantel no serán dadas a conocer oficialmente sino hasta finales de agosto, los informes preliminares predicen que siete de nuestros planteles serán clasificados como ejemplares y 17 escuelas como reconocidas. Desafortunadamente, a pesar de que Hastings, Elsik y Taylor alcanzaron logros significativos y cumplieron con los requisitos académicos para ser planteles reconocidos, nuestros índices de terminación no cumplieron con los requisitos. Los índices de terminación de estudios o deserción escolar siguen siendo una preocupación y el centro de atención de la mayoría de los distritos del estado. Alief ha visto mejoras en estas cifras durante los dos últimos años ya que nos hemos acercado a quienes han abandonado sus estudios y logramos reinscribir a cientos de estudiantes en programas nuevos e innovadores que satisfacen mejor sus necesidades personales y académicas. Nuestra Preparatoria Nocturna, que permite que los estudiantes que trabajan de tiempo completo regresen a la escuela, y nuestro programa S.O.A.R., el cual permite que los estudiantes rezagados se pongan al corriente incrementando el número de clases por estudiante durante un semestre, han sido bien recibidos y apreciados por los estudiantes de preparatoria. Asimismo, creemos que la nueva Preparatoria de Formación Temprana para la Universidad de este año será otro programa innovador que satisfará mejor las necesidades de nuestros estudiantes para que estén listos para sus estudios profesionales o universitarios. Esta Preparatoria, la cual es una sociedad con el Houston Community College, brindará a los estudiantes de primer año la oportunidad de obtener créditos universitarios mientras cumplen con los requisitos de graduación de la preparatoria, pero la mejor parte de su programa es que es gratuito. Otro programa nuevo y emocionante es nuestro programa piloto de Inmersión en Dos Idiomas, el cual comenzará este otoño en la Escuela Primaria Holmquist. Estudiantes anglo e hispanohablantes estarán en el mismo salón de clases, recibiendo la mitad de su educación en español y la otra mitad, en inglés. Una de las metas es que nuestros estudiantes sean completamente bilingües. Estos programas son adiciones importantes, pero todos sabemos que el factor más importante para determinar nuestro éxito es el aprendizaje que se lleva a cabo en todos y cada uno de los salones de clases de cada plantel y en todos los niveles, junto con la relación de afecto y atención que tienen los maestros para con sus estudiantes. Somos afortunados de contar con algunos de los mejores maestros del estado. Estoy seguro de que sus esfuerzos, aunado al arduo trabajo de sus estudiantes y una relación continua con nuestra comunidad, harán del otro ciclo escolar excepcional en Alief. Espero que hayan disfrutado de lo que va del verano y que hayan tenido la oportunidad de pasar tiempo y divertirse con sus amigos y familiares. Esperamos verlos en unas cuantas semanas cuando todos estén de regreso en la escuela. Las clases comenzarán el lunes, 24 de agosto. Cuídense mucho, relájense y disfruten lo que resta de sus vacaciones de verano. Atentamente, Dr. Louis Stoerner Superintendente Alief Independent School District 26.
