The 2025 Year-End Appeal kicked off on December 1st, and we are excited to introduce this year’s theme: the Griffin Giving Tree. This annual tradition celebrates generosity, community, and the shared commitment that helps Aristoi flourish. Our goal is to raise $50,000 to strengthen resources and enrich learning opportunities across all Aristoi campuses.


As you choose a “branch” of the Griffin Giving Tree to support, you may designate your gift to your child’s homeroom teacher or any staff member. Your donation will help their class grow and will also allow that teacher or staff member to earn special rewards throughout the campaign.


Every contribution, no matter the size, nurtures our students and teachers and helps our Griffin community thrive. Together, we can watch the Griffin Giving Tree bloom with possibility and make a meaningful impact on the year ahead.



Thank you for your generosity and for helping our students soar!

Carline Procedures Update


The Katy Police Department Captain has informed us that vehicles may now merge at 13th and East Avenue. This is a change from previous guidance, and we appreciate your understanding and attention to the updated traffic flow. Additionally, if you are in the front carline, please avoid turning left from 11th Street onto Avenue D. This creates a backup in the front carline and delays our dismissal process.

Letter to Household - Application for Free & Reduced


Aristoi Classical Academy is committed to ensuring all students have access to healthy meals. Families may qualify for free or reduced-price breakfast and lunch based on income or participation in assistance programs. This packet includes important information and instructions for applying.


New for 25–26: Students who qualify for reduced-price meals will now receive meals at no cost!


Please review the packet and submit one application per household. For questions, contact Michelle Garza at mgarza@aristoiclassical.org or (281) 391-5003 ext. 18003.

Update Student Emergency Info

As we strive to ensure the safety and well-being of your children, we kindly remind you to update your contact information as well as your child's and specify who is authorized to transport your child in your Ascender Parent Portal. Please note that we will not be using emergency contact cards this year, so it is essential that your child's information is current and accurate. Thank you for your cooperation in helping us maintain a secure environment for all students.
