On Thursday, October 27, Alvin ISD administrators and Board Members set out across the District to surprise 18 district employees with the Alvin ISD Believes Award. This prestigious award is a district-wide initiative and is implemented several times a year.
The Alvin ISD Believes Award is given to outstanding individuals who embody every component of our district vision and beliefs of:
We believe students achieve their maximum potential when provided engaging learning opportunities.
We believe parents expect excellence in educational experiences that will make each child's goals become achievable.
We believe teachers create a safe and engaging learning environment that fosters the success of each student.
We believe campus leaders establish a climate where everyone matters by creating a culture of pride and ownership in their schools.
We believe the central office provides the foundation to equip staff with resources in a supportive environment so that each student has the opportunity to thrive.
We believe the Board of Trustees engages the community to create an environment where excellence is prioritized to ensure each student reaches his or her maximum potential.
“This is always an exciting day full of emotion when we present these wonderful educators with the well-deserved recognition,” shared Carol Nelson, Alvin ISD Superintendent. “These awards are nominated by their peers which make receiving one even more special.”
