Hello, Wildcat Families!
Morning tardies begin at 8:10 a.m. If your child arrives after 8:10, a parent/guardian must come inside with a valid photo ID and sign them in.

If you are not checked into the car rider line by 3:50 p.m., you will need to come inside with a valid photo ID and sign your child out.

Thank you for helping us keep arrival and dismissal safe and smooth!

Hey, Wildcat families! Mornings are getting so much better, but we still need your help keeping morning arrival safe and efficient.

🟢 If you are waiting with your child until the doors open, please use the green lane closest to the school.

🟡 If you are dropping off and leaving, please use the yellow lane away from the school and continue moving.

⚠️ Please avoid stopping in a way that blocks both lanes. This forces other vehicles to reverse and creates a safety concern for students and families walking nearby.

🍳 If your child eats breakfast at school, please make sure they arrive with enough time to eat before class begins.

⏰ Arriving after 8:10 a.m.? Please park and come into the front office with your child and a valid government-issued photo ID. You will need to complete a tardy form before your child can go to class.

🚘 Picking up after dismissal has ended? Please park and come into the front office with a valid government-issued photo ID to sign your child out.

We understand that delays happen! These check-in and sign-out procedures are part of district policy and help us ensure every student arrives and leaves safely.

Thank you for your patience, cooperation, and continued support of our Wildcats!

Did you know dismissal had this many moving parts? If you’d like to thank our staff for slowly melting in the Texas heat while keeping every one of them moving, their Amazon Wish Lists are linked below.

All jokes aside, we need everyone’s help keeping Caliente Drive clear heading toward Bardin Road. Please leave enough room near the intersection for cars exiting the dismissal lanes to safely pass through. When this area is blocked, traffic backs up and families cannot safely exit, slowing down dismissal for everyone.

Hey, Wildcat families! We just want to say thank you so much for staying in your vehicles and knowing your car rider numbers during dismissal. It’s getting better and better each day! Now, we need your help getting morning arrival running just as smoothly.

🚗 Both staff parking lots are reserved for teachers and staff. All students should be dropped off at the front of the school using the designated drive-through lanes. The back parking lot is reserved for buses and students in specialized support programs.

🟢 Waiting with your child until the doors open? Please use the green lane closest to the school.

🟡 Dropping off and leaving? Please use the yellow lane away from the school and continue moving.

⚠️ Please do not stop and block both lanes. This forces other drivers to reverse and creates a serious safety hazard for students walking nearby.

⏰ If you arrive after 8:10 a.m., please es**rt your child inside and complete a tardy form before they go to class.

🍳 If your child eats breakfast at school, please make sure they arrive with plenty of time to eat before class begins.

Thank you for helping us keep morning arrival safe and efficient!

Dismissal Reminders

K–6 car-rider parents, thank you so much for staying in your cars and knowing your numbers. Dismissal is getting quicker and smoother each day!

For the safety of all students, please do not walk up during car-rider dismissal. Students will not be released to parents who walk up during this time. Please remain in your vehicle and follow the regular car-rider procedure.

Pre-K 4 Parents:

• Families picking up siblings should use the lane closest to Caliente.
• Families without siblings should use the lane closest to the fence.
• Please remain in your vehicle and have your car tag visible and ready.
• Walkers should go to the end of the sidewalk, remain outside the fence, and have their pickup sign ready. Please do not enter or walk through the parking lot.

Thank you for following these procedures and helping us keep dismissal safe, quick, and efficient!

Families, please apply for free and reduced-price meal benefits. Your application will help us reach our goal of 100% participation—even if you believe your family will not qualify. Apply here:

AISD will utilize an option provided by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) to provide free meals to students for school.
