Free Summer Camp Opportunity
Drones, robots, and coding! Camp Innovation will be back this summer for its seventh year, and registration is now open! The camp is a FREE week-long summer camp in June at the Arlington ISD Dan Dipert Career + Technical Center that gives students currently in fourth through ninth grades the opportunity to use technology in a variety of fun, creative, and educational ways. Don’t wait to sign up because it will fill up.
Gun Safety Storage
A new state law requires school districts to distribute information regarding safe firearm storage to parents. It’s so important to make sure any guns you may own are safely stored. Practicing safe gun storage protects our kids, prevents accidents, and keeps guns out of the hands of criminals. Click below for tips on safely storing guns.
