The Arlington team asks that all absences are reported on the Absence Reporting Link by 10:30 a.m.

If you call the office, you will be referred to this link, so we prefer you only use the link. Please note, all absences are tracked daily. If your child has an appointment, rather than miss an entire day, please have your child attend school even if for a portion of the day. Thank you.

Research shows the more active parents are in their child’s educational journey the more it benefits their child’s success. Parents at Arlington are invited to become active participants in their child’s education by volunteering. Please fill out the parent volunteer form found on the TUSD website under the family tab, Volunteer Application or follow the link here.

Please remember:

All volunteers must (1) sign in and out in the school office through the use of the Raptor System and (2) wear a school visitor badge while on campus so that we know you are here in the event of an emergency. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask in the school office. Thank you
