Superintendent<br />

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
