On Tuesday, January 20, the Arlington ISD Board of Trustees voted to close Blanton Elementary at the end of this school year. This decision was not made lightly and reflects the Board’s commitment to ensuring that Arlington ISD campuses are thriving learning environments for all students in the district. Trustees did not make any decision on attendance boundaries, transportation, or special programming.
🚨 After evaluating road and campus conditions and closely monitoring the forecast, Arlington ISD schools and offices will open today, Friday, January 30, 2026, at their regularly scheduled times.
Our facilities team has been working to clear ice and snow. We are aware there could still be some slick spots, so please be extra cautious coming in. We ask that drivers and walkers use extra caution during morning travel. Please allow extra time and remain alert.
Thank you for helping us keep everyone safe. We look forward to seeing you at school today. ... See MoreSee Less
📢 Important Morning Arrival Change – For Student Safety
www.canva.com/design/DAG_wTcj2Yc/zx_0_fBX1ibtU0zTd_N1IA/watch?utm_content=DAG_wTcj2Yc&utm_campaig...
Good evening, Blanton families,
For the safety of our students and parents, we will change the morning arrival entrance tomorrow. The usual student drop-off area is still frozen and is not expected to melt by morning.
🚗 All parents who drop off students by car must use the FRONT ENTRANCE of the school.
I will be at the doors beginning at 7:00 AM to help students enter safely and keep traffic moving as smoothly as possible.
➡️ To help traffic flow, please do NOT get out of your car. Staff will assist students as needed.
We kindly ask for your patience during morning drop-off.
🚫 Please remember:
Do not park in front of the school — this area is needed for staff parking.
Do not park in the fire lane in front of the school.
Thank you for helping us keep everyone safe!
— Principal Castillo
📢 Cambio Importante en la Entrada de la Mañana – Por la Seguridad de los Estudiantes
Buenas tardes, familias de Blanton,
Por la seguridad de nuestros estudiantes y padres, cambiaremos la entrada de llegada por la mañana mañana. El área usual donde se dejan los estudiantes todavía está congelada y no se espera que se derrita para la mañana.
🚗 Todos los padres que dejan a sus estudiantes en carro deben usar la ENTRADA PRINCIPAL de la escuela.
Yo estaré en las puertas a partir de las 7:00 AM para ayudar a los estudiantes a entrar de manera segura y mantener el tráfico fluyendo lo mejor posible.
➡️ Para que el tráfico fluya, por favor NO se bajen de su carro. El personal ayudará a los estudiantes si es necesario.
Les pedimos amablemente su paciencia durante la llegada por la mañana.
🚫 Por favor recuerden:
No estacionarse enfrente de la escuela — esa área es para el personal.
No estacionarse en el carril de bomberos enfrente de la escuela.
¡Gracias por ayudarnos a mantener a todos seguros!
