The Mustang Mission Duff elementary - where every student is on a mission to be all they can be

Week 3 - August 29, 2025

Great news for Duff Elementary! Arlington ISD participated in a rescore process of STAAR test results from last school year. The results of that process will cause our campus accountability rating to increase from an 89 (B) to a 90 (A). We are excited that our school's "A" rating will reflect the hard work and effort of our entire staff and student body!

We are looking forward to seeing all of our visitors next week for Grandparents' Week and the Book Fair! Please make sure to remind any visitor to bring their drivers license or ID, especially if they have not had their license or ID scanned at the front desk before. We always have a lot of guests during this week, so please be patient with us as we check guests into the school. Thank you!

Thank you to our Men of Duff for welcoming our students to school on Independence Day! This group is a family and community engagement program at Duff that utilizes the positive influence of fathers and father-figures to provide positive male role models for the students, demonstrating by their presence that education is important. If you would like more information about Men of Duff, please contact menofduff@gmail.com.
