In com- parison, this year Arlington had approximately 1888 students enrolled, including special edu- cation. There were eight inter- district transfers and nineteen intra-district transfers accord- ing to Mrs. Jane Mattson, SIP coordinator. Tardies were another con- cern for parents and teachers. The staff, parents, and teach- ers collaborated on the tardy policy.

A mere young thing com- pared to some schools in the area, but in that time we ' ve built a reputation that sur- passes the others. We ' re better now than we ' ve ever been. We ' ve built on a good founda- tion, and added new things. But as the old saying goes, the more things change, the more they stay the same . . .
