Hi Colts,

The day has come - the GRAND OPENING of the Cube! We have been working furiously over the break (and for the past 4 years) and are so excited to show off our new wing!

Students, you will enter something amazing tomorrow that is a part of history. But you still need to get to class. We plan to allow you to tour the building with your classes next week.

Parents, you will have a chance to tour the space at Colt Trail Drive in February. Alumni, you will have an event in March. We will send info soon on both. Please do not come to the building for tours just yet - we are ready for the kids, but we really aren't ready for visitors.

Here is some important information about our first day of the semester.

• All visitors must show ID at the door.

Phone Calls on 1/8

• All staff will be busy helping to direct traffic and help students with their new schedules.
• Email as much as possible and give my staff time to prioritize your students during the day and respond to phone and emails as they can.

Schedules

• Students will need to check self-serve for schedules.

Stick with me for just a little bit longer, friends. This has been a pretty magnificent journey and while it looks like it's done, we have some challenges ahead as we learn how to navigate and adjust midyear. We have grown stronger and closer as a team and we are still getting better each day as we continue ahead. I hope you all feel confident and know we will keep doing our best work for your kids.

Thank you for your support throughout this process. We are a part of history!

Sincerely,

Stacie Humbles, Principal

Arlington High School and Fine Arts and Dual Language Academy

First here. Best here.
