Dear Arlington ISD Family,
Today, the Arlington ISD learned that the countywide mask mandate has been lifted for Tarrant County and the statewide mandate will be lifted next Wednesday. The district reached out to the Texas Education Agency (TEA) for guidance on how the decision will impact safety protocols in schools. The TEA shared that guidance will be coming soon for schools. Until that guidance is provided, the Arlington ISD will continue to follow its existing safety protocols for all staff and students.
Sincerely,
Dr. Marcelo Cavazos
Superintendent

I suggest scrolling down on that page and pressing virtual book fair. Click Middle school and look around. Not quite like shopping in person, but better than just a website.

Dear Arlington ISD Parents and Guardians,
In the wake of another historic event, our schools have been impacted by the winter weather blast that hit the state of Texas. While the snow and ice are leaving, their impact and the cold weather are going to have a lasting effect.
Freezing temperatures have led to broken pipes and electrical issues that have left some of our schools with major flooding and power outages. Additionally, our community's water supply has been impacted. We must have safe water to run our schools, and right now, that's not the case. We know that many of the issues we're experiencing at our campuses mirror the ones that you're experiencing at your home. That's why we've decided to extend the school closures in Arlington ISD through Tuesday, February 23. That means there will be no in-person or virtual instruction for students either Monday, February 22, or Tuesday, February 23.
I realize this creates hardships for some of you who have already dealt with so much in the last year, but we must prioritize safety for everyone in the Arlington ISD community. Here is our plan moving forward.
REMOTE INSTRUCTION
We plan to return to virtual instruction on Wednesday, February 24 for all students. That will give our contractors and team members the first few days of the week to fully assess each school, make repairs and conduct inspections.
Log on to Canvas or SeeSaw to access your lessons.
We are hopeful to re-open as many schools as possible on Thursday, February 25 but we know it won't be possible for everyone. By Tuesday at noon, we will have a list of schools that can open and those that will remain closed for repairs.

See Message from Dr. Cavazos: AISD will be closed Tuesday February 16 for in person and remote learning.
Dear Arlington ISD Parents and Guardians,
The Arlington ISD is closing all campuses - including Arlington Collegiate and Arlington College and Career high schools- for Tuesday, February 16, for all in-person and remote instruction.
We know that you're dealing with a combination of frigid weather, power outages and conserving electricity. We want you to be able to focus on the needs of your family until the weather passes.
We also understand that the cold snap, a chance for more inclement weather and power issues could lead to more changes to the schedule later in the week. We are constantly monitoring the situation and will keep you up-to-date on our website, email and through our social media feeds.
Please stay safe and warm.
Sincerely,
Dr. Marcelo Cavazos

The winter blast impacting North Texas has led the Arlington ISD to cancel in-person classes for Tuesday, Feb. 16. All students will revert to virtual learning. All after school activities and athletic events are also canceled.
Monday is an official holiday for students and staff.
With additional winter weather predicted for the remainder of the week, the district will make day-by-day decisions about in-person or virtual learning until the dangerous weather passes.
