Drop-off/Dismissal Information


6th Grade Orientation


❗️Important news❗️Beginning the first day of school, Monday, Aug. 4, Athens ISD students will be required to follow a new state law that prohibits the use of cell phones and other personal communication devices during the school day at all campuses. This is not a local school board policy, but rather a Texas state law passed by the legislature and required of all public schools. 👀 Under this law, students may not use personal cell phones, smartwatches, earbuds, tablets, laptops, or other similar devices at any campus. (District-provided laptops and tablets are not personal devices.) Athens High School has been operating under similar conditions for the past few years through the use of Yondr phone pouches, which, though not perfect, has helped promote greater focus and fewer distractions in the classroom. This experience gives us a strong foundation. 👉 In order to comply with the new law throughout the entire district, all personal devices belonging to students must be powered off (not in silent mode) and stored in a backpack or locked vehicle for the entire school day. Devices may not be carried on the student, including in a pocket. 🐝 We ask our wonderfully supportive parents and guardians to help students adjust to this change. It’s all part of our shared goal of creating the best learning environment possible for every Hornet.

They came. They grilled. They conquered. 🔥 Athens Middle School’s barbecue team brought the heat to the National High School BBQ Association’s Texas State Championship, taking home Grand Champion honors for chili, Reserve Grand Champion for chicken and ribs, and 3rd place overall in the entire state! Judges' comments included “tasty and tender” and even said of their chili, “Well done! I want more.” (Honestly, same.) Eighth-graders Brody Ard and Robert Dingler, and sixth-grader Parker Dingler earned a spot at the national competition in Kansas City June 3–6, where they’ll be with 13 other students representing AHS BBQ teams. 🐝 Bring on the BBQ, Kansas City! #HornetNation
