A new digital tool will be available to all Austin ISD students and their teachers in the 2017-2018 school year. The tool, BLEND , supports the District’s vision for learner-centered blended learning.
What is blended learning?
Blended learning is an approach that combines traditional, face-to-face classroom instruction with online learning. The face-to-face learning experience is closely aligned to the online learning experience. Students, at least in part, have some control over the time, pace, path, and place of their learning.

EVERY YEAR – A Confidentiality Agreement is required to be signed by every registered Volunteer. Confidentiality Agreements are available in the office, on Hill Website, and at the volunteer training. Please turn in Agreements to the Hill Office.
EVERY YEAR Volunteer Registration is required through the APIE website by AISD. This will include a Background Check.
ALL VOLUNTEERS ARE REQUIRED TO REGISTER! If you are a Volunteer on Campus OR want to go on Field Trips – This means you!
