Expectations
All students are expected to be READY, RESPECTFUL, and RESPONSIBLE. Each classroom will have a behavior matrix to ensure the understanding of all expectations upon entering our building. It is the purpose and intent of the teachers and administration of Arlington High School to develop and implement a discipline plan that both adequately handles issues that arise and keeps students in the classroom as much as possible. If at anytime you are unable to follow our expectations, appropriate consequences will be given based on the severity and frequency of the offense(s) that are committed. Below are some basic expectations:
On Time Arrival
Students are expected to be on time to class every period,
Cell Phone Policy
The goal of Away for the Day is to reduce distractions, improve learning focus, and support a positive, respectful school environment for all students and staff.
Away for the Day means that students' personal devices, including cell phones, tablets, text-messaging devices, smartwatches, and similar electronics, must be powered off and out of sight during all parts of the school day, bell-to-bell. This includes class time, transitions, lunch on campus and restroom breaks.
Texas House Bill 1481 is a new state law passed by the Texas Legislature that requires school districts to prohibit students from using personal wireless communication devices during instructional time. The law defines personal wireless communication devices as any electronic communication device capable of sending or receiving data that is not provided by the school for instructional purposes.
This includes:
- Cell phones
- Text messaging devices
- Smartwatches
- Any personal communication device not issued by Arlington ISD
- Other similar devices
