四虎影院

It鈥檚 back-to-school time! Monday is the first day of school for most public schools across North Texas. To get in the spirit, some of us at 四虎影院 are sharing our vintage school pictures. (Bangs, braces, backpacks, oh my!)

Tour the virtual yearbook below.

Some back-to-school highlights

School districts opening today include Arlington, Irving, Frisco, Richardson and Fort Worth 鈥� the state鈥檚 fifth largest district.

issued this month from the state show fewer low-performing schools in the district: 14 this year, down from 28 four years ago, superintendent Kent Scribner says.

鈥淭hat is very significant and of the 14, four of those are our Leadership Academies, so our goal is to be in the single digits next year,鈥� he says.

Fort Worth鈥檚 Leadership Academies represent the district鈥檚 attempt to improve low performing schools. Academies include new principals, some of the district鈥檚 best teachers, longer school days, mentoring, and breakfast, lunch and dinner for the students.

School start days seem all over the calendar this year. That鈥檚 due a recent state law that let allowed school systems to call themselves .

That gave them the flexibility to change their start date from the official first day, which is Aug. 28. Dallas, McKinney, and several other north Texas districts start a week from today.
