Turning Point Secondary students and staff are truly fortunate to have Ms. Crystal Lyons as our Assistant Principal. Thank you for your unwavering dedication and relentless efforts. Congratulations on a well-deserved recognition and Happy Assistant Principal’s Week! 🙏🏾🥰🎉🌟👏🏾

Update: Here are the times for each grade level that schools will open their doors:

Elementary - doors open at 7:25 (school starts at 8:10)
Junior High - doors open at 8:00 (school starts at 8:45)
High School - doors open at 6:50 (school starts at 7:35)

Arlington ISD is planning to have school tomorrow. Each school will be open 45 minutes ahead of their scheduled opening so students can enter early.

We'll continue to monitor the weather and let you know if anything changes.

From the Arlington PD on Sept. 13, 2024: We understand that many in our community are concerned, and rightfully so, about posts circulating on social media making threats against Arlington schools.

We want to assure parents that we take EVERY threat that gets reported very seriously, we thoroughly investigate each one, and we’ll always take decisive and appropriate action to ensure the safety of our school campuses.

We will use every resource available to us to try to identify who is creating threatening posts. And as we’ve stated before, we will not hesitate to arrest and file criminal charges against those individuals, regardless of whether the threat is real or fake.

We mean it!!!

On Thursday, administrators at Arlington High School notified our School Resource Officers about a potential threat that had been posted to social media, which we believe was inspired by other threatening posts that have been widely shared this week. Investigators determined the post was created by 18-year-old Kevin Martinez-Molina, who is not a student at AHS. Officers located him Thursday evening and questioned him about the post. He told officers he created it as a prank. Mr. Martinez-Molina was then arrested and booked into the Arlington City Jail on one count of Terroristic Threat, which is a felony.

And it’s not just online threats we will act upon. Thursday, we also arrested a Gunn Junior High student who made a verbal threat against the school that was reported by multiple people who were extremely concerned by what they heard. The student was charged with Terroristic Threat and transported to the Tarrant County Juvenile Detention Center. Because the student is a juvenile, we are unable to release their name.

The Arlington Police Department will not tolerate any behavior that disrupts students’ ability to learn or places them in fear.

We continue to encourage parents to have frank and honest conversations with their kids about the consequences of making threats. It’s NEVER a joke and we will never treat it as one.
