           History

Anticipation best describes the feeling of the 878 students

 who eagerly walked through the doors of

Audrey Judy Bush Elementary on August 11, 1997.

 Teachers and other staff members were well prepared to

provide the highest quality education for all the children

and were equally eager to welcome them. By the end of

December 1997, enrollment in Alief ISD’s twenty-first

elementary school of 104,500 square feet had already

grown to over 1,000 students.

The Bush Elementary theme for staff and students is

“T.E.A.M - Together Everyone Achieves More.” This

philosophy echoes the determination of a dedicated

staff who believes in the abilities and potential of

every child. We believe the role of classroom teachers,

academic specialists, and other support staff is to

enable students to contribute to our community in a

positive, productive, and rewarding manner. Each day

we strive to increase self-esteem and build character - qualities

that will last a lifetime.

The academic framework of our school is one that

supports and nurtures individuality. Whether math,

language arts, science, social studies, or fine arts, our

students are taught with a multisensory approach and

a variety of teaching/learning strategies and materials

to accommodate all learners. Students are motivated

and challenged daily in an environment that promotes

lifelong learning.

One of the most exciting features of Bush Elementary’s

 semi-opened classrooms is the advanced technology

available. An integrated computer network and a

video delivery system enrich the academic program

 of students in pre-kindergarten through fourth grade.

 The Bush faculty recognizes that technology is a means

 of obtaining new learning as well as preparing for the

twenty-first century. Students are highly involved in

the understanding and manipulation of technology

to enhance learning, explore resources, conduct research,

and gain knowledge.

In collaboration with parents, community, and staff,

Audrey Judy Bush Elementary will create successful

and productive citizens of an ever-changing global society.
