Aubrey ISD Cares About Student Safety Did you know Aubrey ISD uses the StopIt Reporting System, a confidential reporting tool that allows students and families to quickly and anonymously share concerns about safety, bullying, or other issues? With StopIt, students and families can: ✔️ Report unsafe behavior, bullying, or threats anonymously ✔️ Get help from trusted adults right away ✔️ Know their voices matter in keeping schools safe and supportive We encourage all families to talk with their students about how and when to use it. Together, we can make sure every student feels safe, respected, and supported at school. To report any information using the StopIt System, visit www.aubreyisd.net under the (☰) tab or contact your child’s campus. See Something, Say Something — StopIt makes it safe and simple.

The Aubrey Lady Chaps defeated Ponder in four sets Tuesday night, 19-25, 25-12, 25-17, 25-23, improving their season record to 27-2.
Kills: Shaelyn Ward (19), Kylie Miller (13), Chloe Miller (11), Baylee Hampton (7), Libby Collins (6), Ava Thompson (2)

After a slow start in the opening set, Aubrey found its rhythm and kept Ponder off balance with a strong offensive attack. Ward and Miller were tough to defend in the middle, while Chloe Miller provided solid play on the outside. Hampton distributed the ball well to the hitters, and both she and Conley anchored the defense.
The Lady Chaps return to action Tuesday, Sept. 9, when they open district play against Gainesville. JV begins at 5 p.m., followed by varsity.

Aubrey ISD Family,
Please be aware of the following transportation reminders for the first few days of school:
Morning Pick Up:
Bus route pick up times are approximate. During the first few days, buses may be running behind schedule.
If your student is not able to get on a bus due to overcrowding, Aubrey ISD Transportation will have buses going around to pick up additional students.
If you have questions or concerns, please contact your child’s campus or the transportation department.
Afternoon Drop Off:
Campus staff will have updated bus rosters to assist with loading students on the correct route in the afternoon.
Buses may run behind schedule due to additional students on routes.
If you have questions or concerns, please contact your child’s campus or the transportation department.
School starts tomorrow, Aug. 13 — slow down, stay alert, and follow the law to keep kids safe. In 2024, Texas had 781 school zone crashes, many caused by speeding and driver inattention. Together, we can keep our Chaps safe.
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!
