All Argyle ISD campuses will have a modified release schedule this Friday to provide bus transportation for student groups participating in Argyle High School’s football state semifinal game in Dallas. This ensures that these student groups arrive on time for the game and avoid any potential delays.

Here is the middle school bell schedule for tomorrow:

The railroad crossing at FM 407 and US 377 will close for emergency repairs starting at 1:00 a.m. Sunday, Dec. 15, through mid-morning Monday, Dec. 16.

Argyle ISD commuters should plan for alternate routes and expect delays Monday morning. Work timelines are subject to weather conditions.

**Please note updated Thursday, 12/19 schedule**
