"Taw leads from within the community, not above it, embodying the district's mission, Sagayt k'üülm goot—All of One Heart. Under his leadership, this mission has become a philosophy for how AISD approaches students, families, staff, culture, and community."

Whether addressing academic needs, social-emotional well-being, or family engagement, Taw consistently demonstrates a commitment to meeting students where they are and helping them reach their full potential."

AISD Families:

During the month of October, Nurse Hudson will be conducting health screenings for ALL AISD Students, PreK - 12th grade!

She will be screening hearing, vision, height, and weight.

-We have a state of the art vision screening machine that detects a variety of vision issues. If students do not pass the screening, we will send results to parents to be referred for further care.

-Remember, screening tests only alert us to a possible hearing or vision problems. We can assist you in getting a referral to a vision or hearing specialist if needed.

If you do NOT wish for your child to receive a health screening, please let their school office or Nurse Hudson know.

If you have questions or concerns about your child with regard to these screenings, please contact Nurse Hudson for more information:
