Tomorrow is the BIG DAY! 🎉
Excitement is in the air and our teachers are ready to welcome our All-Stars back! As you prep for tomorrow, here are a few critical reminders to ensure a smooth First Day:
⏰ MORNING BELL SCHEDULE (8:10 AM START)
Instruction starts right at 8:10 AM. There is NO LONGER a grace period from 8:10–8:20 AM. Students not in class by 8:10 AM will be marked tardy. Adjust the morning routines and those alarms so your kiddos don't miss out on important morning instruction!
🚗 DROP-OFF, PICK-UP & PARKING
Check out our quick drop-off and pick-up procedure video. Nothing has changed from last year and you can help new families learn by following proper procedures.
Drive Calm, Drive Safe: Please follow the rules, stay patient, and avoid cutting each other off. Let's leave the racing to Mario Kart! 🏎️
On-campus parking will be very limited on the first 3 days of school. If walking your student in, please prepare to park along Van Buren Drive (behind the outdoor amphitheater) or in the empty field across from the school. You will need to present id and obtain a visitors badge if walking child to class Thursday and Friday. Friday is the last day you will be able to accompany child to class.
Need a refresher on meals, dress code, supplies, transportation, etc.? Review our Know Before You Go posts on our social media pages and in your email.
Get a great night’s sleep—we’ll see you in the morning! 🌟 ... See MoreSee Less

🎉What an incredible way to kick off this school year at Arlington ISD Convocation, Making Dreams Happen! One of our very own teachers, Señor Matos, had the honor of being among the guest speakers. Our amazing choir students shared their voices and some our dance alumni brought their talent and energy, too! It was a powerful reminder that dreams really do become reality when we believe, work hard, and celebrate the journey together.🎶✨
