Good morning, Arlington! Students at @JonesAcademy1 got a surprise when Dr. Matt Smith, Arlington ISD’s new superintendent, greeted them at the door to their school. It's Dr. Smith's #FirstDay so, he'll visit several schools throughout our district meeting students and staff.
Arlington ISD families: Schools and offices will be closed on Nov. 7 for a student holiday and staff exchange day.
