In order to continue to promote engagement, creativity, critical thinking and achievement as a part of the district's Achieve Today. Excel Tomorrow. strategic plan, the Arlington ISD is preparing to open two Fine Arts/Dual Language academies beginning in the fall of 2015. As part of the 2014 Bond package, the district will repurpose Corey and Roquemore elementaries for these academies.
The boundary map for the two academies splits the district in half along Pioneer Parkway/Spur 303. All Arlington ISD addresses north of Pioneer Parkway/Spur 303 will be zoned to attend the academy at Roquemore, and all AISD addresses south of Pioneer Parkway/Spur 303 will be zoned to attend the academy at Corey.
Applications for the inaugural class of incoming kindergarten students for the Fine Arts/Dual Language academies are now available and must be submitted by 3 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 13, 2015. Applications may be filled out online in English or in Spanish or applications can be printed (English | Spanish | Vietnamese) and returned to AISD Mac Bernd Professional Development Center at 1111 W. Arbrook Blvd., in Arlington by the deadline.
