Clinkscale’s Commentary Clinkscale’s Commentary

Dear Arnold Families,


As we come to the close of the school year, I want to thank you for your continued partnership, support, and trust. This year brought growth, learning, and meaningful moments for our students, and we are grateful for the role our families play in that success.


We are proud of our Buccaneers and all they have accomplished—academically, socially, and personally. Your encouragement at home makes a difference each and every day.


Wishing you a safe, restful, and joyful summer. I know Ms. Williams and the entire Arnold staff look forward to welcoming our students back in the fall, ready for another great year at Arnold Middle School. Thank you for an amazing four years as principal of THE BEST campus in CFISD!


Warm regards,
Mrs. Clinkscale
Principal

Academic Information: Academic Information:

End of Grading Period Tests or Projects

Arnold students will be taking tests and/or DPMs in all their classes during our last weeks of school. Please be mindful that daily school attendance is crucial for the academic success of students.


Please note: Students may not take tests early.


Students who miss tests or projects due to an absence can make them up after they return to school if it is before May 28, 2026. If a student cannot make up an activity prior to the end of the school year, his/her teacher will submit the grade in progress, which will become the student’s final grade if the missing work is not completed. If a student doesn’t return before the end of the school year, missing grades can be made up on our make-up day on June 3rd. Then, a grade change will be submitted to reflect the completed work.


High School Credit Courses

Some of our 7th and 8th graders take high school credit courses. If your child is enrolled in a high school credit course, be sure to read this section thoroughly. The final exam in high school credit courses count as 1/7 of their semester grade. Note: Final exams may not be taken early. Teachers will communicate their final exam days with students and parents. If you have any questions about the tests or assessments in specific courses, please contact your child’s teacher, Grade-level Counselor, or the Director of Instruction.

6th Grade Counselor - Lisa Gray

It’s that time of year again—time to start searching for any overdue library books!

Starting in January, overdue notices will begin heading out, so now is the perfect moment to help your student search high and low for any missing library books. Mrs. Taylor, our amazing librarian, is on campus every Wednesday, and the book return is open daily, making returns quick and easy.


Thank you for helping keep our library shelves full and teaching our students to be responsible book lovers. Happy hunting!

PBIS PBIS

PBIS Rewards has a Family App that will give you some insight into how your child is doing with respect to our PBIS program. The Family App will run on most smart devices, including smartphones and tablets. You can find it in the iPhone/iPad App Store, Google Play, and the Amazon App Store. Just search for "PBIS Rewards Family."

Once you have installed the app, you can scan the QR Code below. You will have to confirm your relationship to STUDENT NAME by certifying that you are a parent or guardian. Once you have done this you will be able to see STUDENT NAME's progress with PBIS Rewards.


You can add more than one student to the app, even if they go to different schools, as long as the school is using PBIS Rewards.

We encourage you to talk with your student about what they must do to be successful with PBIS Rewards and to encourage them when you see them being successful.
