The Jordan Elizabeth Harris Foundation will host a parent Hope Squad virtual meeting in Spanish and English on Monday, September 30, 2024, from 6pm to 7:30pm. At this virtual district meeting, parents will go over QPR (QPR stands for Question, Persuade, and Refer and is a suicide prevention training program that teaches people how to recognize and respond to the warning signs of suicide) and then talk about Hope Squad and go a little over the summary of the curriculum.
Hope Squad Members are students trained to recognize warning signs of suicide in their peers, reach out, and refer their peers to trusted adults. They are not taught to act as counselors but rather how to support their peers by encouraging them to get help. Training for elementary schools includes topics such as identifying warning signs, kindness, anti-bullying, and managing stress. Training for junior high and high schools incorporates training on grief, mental illness, and being resilient, as well as an opportunity to teach their families, school, and community.
Workman JHS will celebrate homecoming the week of September 30th - October 4th. During this week, students and staff are encouraged to wear spirit attire (within the AISD Dress Code) and cheer on the home team during the upcoming campus Pep Rally. GO WILDCATS GO! ... See MoreSee Less

From the Arlington PD on Sept. 13, 2024: We understand that many in our community are concerned, and rightfully so, about posts circulating on social media making threats against Arlington schools.
We want to assure parents that we take EVERY threat that gets reported very seriously, we thoroughly investigate each one, and we’ll always take decisive and appropriate action to ensure the safety of our school campuses.
We will use every resource available to us to try to identify who is creating threatening posts. And as we’ve stated before, we will not hesitate to arrest and file criminal charges against those individuals, regardless of whether the threat is real or fake.
We mean it!!!
On Thursday, administrators at Arlington High School notified our School Resource Officers about a potential threat that had been posted to social media, which we believe was inspired by other threatening posts that have been widely shared this week. Investigators determined the post was created by 18-year-old Kevin Martinez-Molina, who is not a student at AHS. Officers located him Thursday evening and questioned him about the post. He told officers he created it as a prank. Mr. Martinez-Molina was then arrested and booked into the Arlington City Jail on one count of Terroristic Threat, which is a felony.
And it’s not just online threats we will act upon. Thursday, we also arrested a Gunn Junior High student who made a verbal threat against the school that was reported by multiple people who were extremely concerned by what they heard. The student was charged with Terroristic Threat and transported to the Tarrant County Juvenile Detention Center. Because the student is a juvenile, we are unable to release their name.
The Arlington Police Department will not tolerate any behavior that disrupts students’ ability to learn or places them in fear.
We continue to encourage parents to have frank and honest conversations with their kids about the consequences of making threats. It’s NEVER a joke and we will never treat it as one.
We want to celebrate our Wildcats for making good decisions each and every day! On October 4th, we will host our first Way to Go Party of the year. We will sell snacks in the cafeteria and have various activities throughout the campus. Activities include board games, Jenga, Switch tournaments, open gym, and karaoke. Students earn a wristband by passing all of their classes on their 1st six weeks report card, having no more than 5 tardies, and spending zero days in ISS/Choices/Suspension/TP. Because we know students have a hard time at the beginning of the year finding their classes, we will not count tardies for the first couple weeks of school. ... See MoreSee Less
