It was a great first first-day and last last-day in Aubrey ISD. #ChapClassof26 #ChapClassof38
Good morning, Aubrey Chaparrals! We’re thrilled to welcome you back today. Share your first-day-of-school pictures on the Aubrey ISD Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/share/1AtZSPedy1/?mibextid=wwXIfr
#ChapsGoBack25
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!
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.
Before you head out for back-to-school shopping, take a moment to review the Aubrey ISD dress code. The district’s guidelines are designed to promote good grooming and hygiene, prevent disruptions, and minimize safety hazards.

Parent Portal Now Online
The Parent Portal is back online. Thank you for your patience as we transitioned our student data system to the 2025–26 school year.
During the July 23, 2025 Aubrey ISD Board of Trustees meeting, school board members were gifted commemorative, engraved scissors by Dr. Scott Niven of Friends Consulting Group ahead of the Ribbon Cutting Celebration for Owens Middle School scheduled for July 24, 2025.
Back to School Information
Aubrey ISD leadership had a great second day of preparation for another great year.
Attendance matters from day one.
Here’s what you can do to support student success.
The goal is 95%: Be at school on time, every day, all day.
Every day counts: Attendance directly impacts student learning and success.
Every minute matters: Tardies and early pick-ups interrupt learning.
Start strong: Good attendance habits begin in pre-K and kindergarten.
Excuse absences promptly: Submit doctor’s notes within three days to avoid unexcused absences.
Stay informed: Monitor your student’s attendance in Parent Portal. Contact your student’s campus with questions.
The Parent Portal will be taken offline at 9 a.m. and remain unavailable for the next several days as we transition our system to the new school year. We will notify families as soon as access is restored.
Aubrey ISD welcomes students back Wednesday, Aug. 13, 2025, for the 2025–26 school year! As we gear up for a great year, back-to-school info will be shared throughout the month—check back often! Full calendar: bit.ly/AubreyISD2526 Questions? Contact your child’s campus.
