There's a new web site in Argyle. ย It's called Parent Advocates for Argyle Schools. ย It's run by parents, for parents. ย It's mission is to inform.
The site offers resources [many great sites to keep your kids learning this summer!], tips, advice, and pertinent links to help parents navigate through the Argyle ISD educational system [though the majority of the site's content is applicable to any school district or system!]. ย As renaissance philosopher Sir Francis Bacon said, Knowledge is power . ย The site is run by two educators: a principal, and a former middle/high school teacher. ย They value and welcome community input ย in making this site a valuable resource for our schools, so stop by, visit, pose a question, or leave a comment!
If you have a specific question, need help or an advocate, or simply need to voice a concern ย or get advice in a safe environment, visit the ย Ask An Educator Page and post your question.
