A note from our PTA president--
AISD is updating the curriculum for sex ed; recently the Thunderboard weighed in on the changes by taking a survey. I wanted to alert you all that it has become a contentious issue and there are more opportunities to get involved if you want to.

From what I understand, it discusses consent, is backed by science, and is inclusive of our LGBTQ+ students. Another parent I know went to a community input meeting last night and she said that it got pretty ugly. There is an organized resistance to the changes. They were behaving rudely, interrupting speakers, berating district employees, citing lots of legalese and claiming the district was out of compliance with the law.

If you want to get involved:

1.) Take the district survey about the new curriculum--easy to do from the comfort of home! You can access the survey via the parent cloud; only one survey per student is allowed. (Survey info is also in the link below.) The survey closes on November 30.

2.) Attend one of the two remaining parent input meetings. This link shares details about the meetings, which will take place TUESDAY and THURSDAY:

3.) Spread the word to other parents. ... See MoreSee Less

Operation Thunderjoy -- Apply by November 16

For the third year in a row, Operation Thunderjoy is on a mission to provide a joyful holiday season to our neediest Thunderbird families. Inspired by organizations like Blue Santa and the Angel Tree, Project Thunderjoy is the brainchild of one of our students who wanted to make sure her classmates had a holiday season as happy as her own. Thanks to the generosity of our village, we’ve been able to help at least 30 families annually. This year, we plan to help 50 families and we need YOU to help make it happen!

We need families and community members to “adopt” a family in need and provide gifts of toys, clothing, and food. If you are interested in sponsoring a family, please contact Lauren Davis (lauren.davis@gmail.com)
.
Families in need are encouraged to apply with our PSS, Dianna Perez (512-841-0855 or adrianna.perez@austinisd.org). The deadline to apply is November 16. ... See MoreSee Less
