As the summer begins to wind down and we get closer to the 1st day on August 12th, a reminder that cell phones cannot be used by students on campus during the instructional day. We realize that students have had more access to their devices this summer, but the current policies on each campus will remain in place for the 2026-2027 school year! Thanks for your cooperation!

📚✨ The countdown is on and the new school year is almost here! Here are a few important reminders to help us start the year strong. We can’t wait to welcome back our Whippets! 💚🐾 #LeadingthePack #WhippetWay

Who’s ready for crisp fall stadium evenings, roaring gym crowds, and Whippet pride? Fall sports are back! Make sure to mark your calendars to support our Whippet athletes!! 🐾💚 #LeadingThePack #WhippetAthletics

Taft ISD kicked off its annual Leadership Retreat on Wednesday at the Ricardo L. Trevino Junior High School Media Center, bringing together campus administrators, department supervisors and other instructional leaders from across the district.

Day 1 of the retreat, themed "Greyhounds Assemble," focused on goals and strategic planning for the new school year through district policies and procedures. On Day 2, Campus Instructional Leadership Teams were invited to receive an accountability from Region 2 ESC staff and work through a deep dive of district assessment data.

The Leadership Retreat reflects Taft ISD's ongoing commitment to developing strong leadership to serve students & staff and enhance the educational experience for every student across the district. #TPND

Our 2026–2027 Campus Instructional Leadership Team is already hard at work! 📊💚 Our team rolled up our sleeves, dug into data, reflected on accountability, celebrated our successes, and identified opportunities to grow. Every conversation, every decision, and every goal is centered on one thing - helping every Whippet succeed. We’re excited for the year ahead and committed to making this our best year yet. Let’s lead the pack! 🐾 #LeadingThePack #DataDriven #OneTeamOneGoal #WhippetWay
