Aubrey ISD is kicking off the school year with a focus on strong attendance — because when students show, they grow! Our goal is for every student to maintain at least a 95% attendance rate this year. That means missing no more than nine days all year!
Every day counts.
Every class matters.
Every student benefits.
Let’s make this year the best one yet — strive for 95!
On July 24, a ribbon cutting was held at Owens Middle School. Owens is the second middle school in Aubrey ISD and is named after Evalois Owens, a 40-year district employee and founder of the Aubrey Education Foundation. On Aug. 13, it will welcome students through its doors. #ChapsBuildingGreatness #ChapsGoBack25 See more event pictures: https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1CViMhDT54/?mibextid=wwXIfr
New Personal Communications Device Law
Texas House Bill 1481, a new state law, will take effect during the 2025-26 school year and will directly impact student personal communication devices during instructional hours (defined as first bell to last bell).
Exceptions are possible with documented medical needs, IEP or 504 accommodations, or other health and safety requirements as outlined by the law.
Students may not use personal cellphones, tablets, smartwatches, earbuds or similar devices during instructional hours. This includes lunch, recess and passing periods.
Please begin talking to your child now about this upcoming change. Your support will help us create a more focused learning environment.
Aubrey ISD will share more information as the plan is developed.
Football season is here!
Our guys are ALL IN and ready to take on their schedule — and BEYOND.

The Aubrey High School Band had five recordings advance from the Region level to Area in the ATSSB Outstanding Performance Series (OPS) competition. From there, three recordings advanced from Area North to the state level.
State judging just took place, and the band earned the best results in school history. The varsity ensemble, Wind Ensemble, placed fifth in the march category and third in concert selection—referred to as “runner-up,” as two winners are named. The non-varsity Symphonic Band also placed ninth in the concert category.
Congratulations to our talented band on this outstanding achievement.
Today we kicked off our New Teacher Academy and welcomed an exceptional group of educators to the Chaparral family! We’re excited to have them on board and can’t wait to see the impact they’ll make.
