Bulldog Update

Greetings Bulldog Families!

I hope you all had a wonderful long weekend and safe Halloween!

Report cards will be available in Parent Self-Serve on Tuesday morning.

Next week we will begin our Curriculum Assessments (CAs) for core content classes. These assessments help us determine how well we are progressing through the state learning standards. It is very important for all students to be present so we can see who may need additional supports. We will have an altered bell schedule on our Reading and Math CA days where students will test throughout the morning and attend designated classes afterwards.

Wednesday, 11/11: Reading CA (Students will attend 4th-7th periods after testing)

Thursday, 11/12: Science & SS CA (8th grade only; tests will take place during class)

Tuesday, 11/17: Math/Algebra CA (Students will attend 4th & 1st-3rd periods after testing)

CONGRATULATIONS to our November Students of the Month:

7th Grade: Marley T. and Memphis C.

8th Grade: Autumn R. and Andrew G.

Way to go, Bulldogs!

Veteran's Day

We would love to honor our veterans by creating a display highlighting all of our loved ones who have served and those that are still serving. If you have someone that YOU would like to honor, have your student pick up a Veteran's Day Hero form outside the front office. Once it is filled out, please return it and we will display them in our main hall. For pictures that you are attaching, please either make a copy of the photo or put your child's name on the back of the photo so it can be returned to you! Thank you for helping us honor our veterans this year!

Mission Joy Toy Drive

We are collecting toys to support Mission Arlington this holiday season. Toys may be dropped off at the box outside of the main office through December 1. Toys should be unwrapped and sealed. Let's help our neighbors in need this holiday season!

Thanksgiving Break

Arlington ISD has 1 FFA chapter that encompasses all 6 High School campuses, so no matter what school students feed into when they get to high school they have the ability to enroll in an Agriculture Science course and join the FFA.

We are hosting an event next Thursday 11/12 from 6-7:30pm specifically for our AISD Elementary and Jr. High families.

Our high school students will be there to talk to the students and parents about what raising and showing livestock is all about and hopefully when they get ready to join us in high school, they will remember us! They will be able to see goats, lambs, and cattle as well as talk to Advisors and students to ask any questions about our program. This is for students and parents, and we look forward to seeing everyone there!

If you need to report an absence, parents and guardians can call 682-867-8001 between 5:00 p.m. and 10:15 a.m. to notify the school of an absence. The system allows you to leave a message in English or Spanish, making it easier than ever to keep us informed.

Thank you for helping us ensure accurate attendance records for all students!
