Reminder Monday, January 19th is a student and staff holiday. APISD will be closed in observance of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Go Panthers and Lady Panthers!
Today our Panthers rolled up their sleeves and used whiteboards, geoboards, and even wax paper to discover that equal parts of an identical triangle can create completely different shapes. Hands-on learning helped students truly recognize how fractions work in the real world. Proud of our teachers for making math visible and meaningful! #GrowGreatness #PantherNation
✨🛡️ 3rd Grade Spotlight! 🛡️✨
Our 3rd graders had an amazing time today diving into the Norse gods during their Amplify Viking Age unit! Students used a fun twist on Headbandz—guessing characters based on their mythology traits and characteristics.
It was incredible to see them thinking critically, collaborating, and bringing history to life through interactive learning. 🧠⚡️
Way to go, 3rd grade! Keep exploring, questioning, and discovering! 🚀📚#GrowGreatness

Our students are crushing geometry today! 💜💛
They used creativity and hands-on learning to build solid shapes — making math meaningful, memorable, and FUN!
From cubes to pyramids, these Panthers are proving that when you mix imagination with academics, you get powerful learning! #GrowGreatness
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. Learn more at www.apisd.org/page/vatre.
