WELCOME FROM THE SUPERINTENDENT DIBOLL I.S.D. EVERY CHILD! EVERY DAY! EVERY WAY! Dear Friends, Welcome to Diboll I.S.D.! We look forward to another “GREAT” year with the approximately 2000 students that will walk through our doors this year. We wish all of our 2012 graduate’s success as they embark on their careers this year. We now prepare all of our upcoming graduates for what lies ahead! We take great pride in our school district and the commitment to develop EVERY CHILD! EVERY DAY! EVERY WAY! We welcome our new staff members as they become a part of our “DIBOLL FAMILY”. Academically you will find rigorous curricular programs designed to meet the needs of all students. Additionally, you will find that our district offers opportunities for students to develop physically, socially and emotionally in our Award winning UIL Athletic programs, UIL Academic programs, Robotics, School Clubs, Cheerleading, Dance, Marching Band, Career / Technology and FFA. Recent data shows continuous academic growth in the majority of our subjects and our administration and teachers have great plans for the 12-13 school year. Facility improvements continue in our district as the renovated Diboll Primary School for our Pk3 & Pk4 students should be ready by the end of September with renovated classrooms, offices; media center, parking and student drop off areas. We will still have classes and school as normal and appreciate your patience as we complete the project. Please review any traffic changes with the campus staff. 21st century Technology in our district is truly at the forefront as we have all campuses with wireless access and updated infrastructures for future growth. Our new “Virtual Network” technology approved this summer by our Board of Trustees will increase the speed and life of our current computers and allow for saving opportunities as we upgrade devices in the future. The first large order of student iPad’s and notebook computers approved by our board this summer is arriving for instructional implementation at every campus this school year. Students at the JH will be piloting our “Bring Your Own Device Program” which we feel will enhance their educational opportunities. Our very own Diboll Classroom Technology Grant program will give staff access to over $100,000.00 dollars in classroom instructional grant opportunities to improve their classrooms with cutting edge ideas and new instructional technology. The summer was busy for our business office, transportation, custodians, food service and maintenance as they prepared our buses, campuses and budgets for the upcoming school year. They have done another fine job! Let them know with a hug or handshake. This group of individuals is an integral part of the overall education process. We appreciate them! Again we say “Thanks” to our City, Booster Clubs, School Board, Teachers, Sponsors, Administrators, Parents and Community for believing in Diboll ISD. We are proud to be part of the wonderful “TEAM” of parents, educators, and community members that assist our young people as they achieve their goals and dreams. GO LUMBERJACKS AND LADYJACKS! “Let’s Roll” Always, Gary Martel Superintendent of Schools
