Our district instructional coaches hosted their monthly "Prowling Towards Excellence" training with our amazing new staff today!
This month’s focus was Domain 3 of T-TESS, diving into how purposeful planning drives student success. Coaches and teachers modeled "small-group brainstorming" for each dimension, giving our new educators hands-on practice and collaborative strategies to take back to their classrooms.
We are so proud of the dedication and growth mindset our new team members continue to show. Together, we’re "growing greatness" in APISD! #GrowGreatness

Did you know school district property taxes are "frozen" for homeowners aged 65 and older?
Once a property owner receives an over-65/disability homestead exemption, there is a tax ceiling on their school taxes, meaning the amount paid in school taxes on that home cannot increase as long as they own and live in that home, unless they make additions that would increase the value of the home.
