West Elementary School

Happy Thanksgiving, Aubrey ISD! Today, we reflect on all that we are thankful for—our incredible students, dedicated teachers and staff, supportive families, and wonderful community. May your day be filled with love, laughter, and gratitude. #ThankfulForAubreyISD

Help give our Chaps a true Texas-sized send-off to the Regional Semifinals! The team will depart Aubrey High School at 12 p.m., traveling down Main Street. Let’s line Main with posters, cowbells, balloons, and, most importantly, fans! Please park in designated spots, not along the street. Let’s show our Chaps how #AubreyProud we are!

Teachers across Aubrey ISD are heading into the Thanksgiving holiday feeling extra grateful. On Friday, the Aubrey Education Grants for Teachers Patrol awarded nearly $18,000 in grants to educators throughout the district. Among the most excited recipients was Mrs. Fikes from Brockett Elementary!

Today, we recognize the important role substitute educators play in keeping learning on track when teachers are absent. #ChapsAppreciate24

Seniors on the move! The Chaparral Legacy Cooperative for community members 60+ toured Aubrey Middle School yesterday. They visited fine arts classes seeing theatre, band and choir students in action, and also visited the outdoor education class where students were making mac and cheese in Dutch ovens outside. Before the tour began, they heard from Aubrey Middle School Principal Dr. Heather Baker who introduced her leadership team. They also perused old Aubrey ISD yearbooks which brought joy and laughter as they saw familiar faces. To become a part of the Chaparral Legacy Cooperative, please reach out to Aubrey ISD Deputy Superintendent Terrie McNabb at tmcnabb@aubreyisd.net
