Greetings <strong>United</strong> I.S.D. employees,<br />
We have made it to the end<br />
of another busy and productive<br />
school year. I must start by saying<br />
that I am continually proud to<br />
represent the <strong>United</strong> <strong>Independent</strong><br />
<strong>School</strong> <strong>District</strong>. Our employees<br />
do a phenomenal job of providing<br />
education and guidance to all<br />
our students. I was pleased<br />
to attend the commencement<br />
ceremonies for all four of our<br />
high schools. It was especially<br />
gratifying to see the smiles of<br />
our 2,600 graduating seniors and<br />
their families as we celebrated<br />
academic success together. I am<br />
proud of what we as a <strong>District</strong> are<br />
helping our students accomplish.<br />
I wish our graduates luck as they<br />
proceed to the next level, whether<br />
it be continuing their education,<br />
entering the workforce or pursuing<br />
the opportunity to serve in our<br />
armed forces. I humbly thank our<br />
employees for contributing to the<br />
success of not only our students,<br />
but to our <strong>District</strong> and community<br />
as well.<br />

On another note, great strides<br />
were made by <strong>United</strong> I.S.D.<br />
students who took the STAAR test<br />
for the very first time. I applaud<br />
the efforts of our teachers and<br />
faculty who earnestly prepared<br />
students for the new state<br />
mandated test. We have received<br />
preliminary results of the STAAR/<br />
EOC testing for all students. These<br />
early results allow us to begin the<br />
task of improving, modifying and<br />
adjusting where necessary in the<br />
different subject areas.<br />
While some employees are<br />
taking extra time off during the<br />
summer, there are others who have<br />
already begun making preparations<br />
for the 2012-2013 school year.<br />
The next couple of months will<br />
give us all an opportunity to,<br />
reflect, reenergize, and enjoy our<br />
families. Whether you travel or<br />
stay home and unwind, I wish each<br />
one of you a safe, healthy, and<br />
happy summer.<br />
Best Regards,<br />
Roberto J. Santos
