Check Out Arlington's California School Dashboard Data. What is the Dashboard? Follow the link for a 1 minute video explaining. LINK The dashboard was developed as a way to measure how well schools in California are doing on indicators such as academics, attendance, college and career readiness, and suspensions. Visit the Department of Education webpage for more information (Click Here). Arlington has a lot to celebrate in so many areas, with a continued focus supporting our English Language Learners in Language Arts. Click HERE to be directed to the Dashboard. Please, after spending a moment reviewing our dashboard data, I encourage you to fill out the quick survey.

Follow this LIINK for the survey. Thank you.

Raptor Visitor/Volunteer Management System

Upon entering any TUSD school, visitors will be asked to present government-issued identification (ID) with a barcode, such as a driver’s license, which can either be scanned or manually entered into the system. If a parent/guardian, for any reason, does not have this type of ID, a school staff member can use alternate forms of ID and manually enter the visitor’s information into the Raptor system. For improved safety, Raptor will allow us to better screen all of our visitors on campus. The system checks to ensure that registered sex offenders are not entering our school campuses without our knowledge. For those of you who generously volunteer your time on our campuses, TUSD will continue to adhere to its Volunteer Policy (to view, please visit our website at www.tusd.org). TUSD school volunteers will receive a Raptor badge each time they are on campus. https://www.tusd.org/district/news/1664247/raptor-visitor-volunteer-management-system
