Today marks the first day back to school for students in the Arlington Independent School District, along with 94 other school districts in North Texas. As the largest and busiest back-to-school day in the area, 95 school districts are welcoming students for their first day. Arlington ISD, the biggest district starting on Wednesday, has over 50,000 students returning to school. Parents at Pope Elementary in Arlington shared their excitement about their children’s eagerness to see their teachers and friends after the summer break.
Over the summer, Arlington ISD made upgrades to campuses, including installing new carpet and lights, renovating restrooms at several schools, and completing projects such as new libraries and expanded cafeteria spaces. These renovations were funded by a 2019 bond package, with more projects still in progress. Other large school districts starting on Wednesday include Mesquite, Grapevine-Colleyville, Highland Park, and Mansfield ISDs. Only 12 local districts are starting their year on Thursday.
Good Day is inviting parents to share their first day of school photos on fox4news.com/ready4school, including a name and city, for a chance to be featured on TV as part of the celebration of the new school year. Students, parents, and educators alike are excited for the start of the new academic year and the opportunities it brings for growth and learning.
