Excitement Builds as West Family Visits New Elementary School
Carson West, alongside his sister Teresa West Mancuso and brother-in-law Gus Mancuso, visited the construction site of the soon-to-open West Elementary School. Named in honor of their parents, Pete and Myra West, the campus is set to open its doors in Fall 2024.
The Aubrey Independent School District (ISD) Board of Trustees officially approved the naming of Elementary School #4 as Pete and Myra West Elementary School at their March meeting. The decision celebrates the Wests' long-standing dedication to education within the Aubrey ISD community, where both served as educators for many years.
Pictured below, the West children proudly show off their West Elementary gear.

Summer Learning at Aubrey ISD!
Aubrey ISD Elementary Summer School recently enjoyed a visit from the Texas Farm Bureau’s Mobile Learning Barn. This educational trailer can showcase up to seven different crops and livestock, including corn, cotton, grain sorghum, pork, and cattle. Thank you Farm Bureau for the unique learning opportunity.
We hope everyone is having an amazing start to summer. It's never too early to start planning for a fantastic school year. With that in mind, here's a reminder: the first day of school will be Wednesday, August 14. A printable 2024-2025 calendar can be found here: https://bit.ly/3KzlD7b
