Important Request
Loud Music
It has come to our attention that some vehicles are playing excessively loud music during after-school pickup. We kindly ask all parents and guardians to be mindful of the surrounding neighborhood while waiting. Please lower your music to help us respect the peace and privacy of our neighbors. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding in fostering a positive community environment!
Message from the Principal
Welcome back! I hope our students enjoyed the extended weekend and that everyone stayed safe and warm during the arctic weather. Looking ahead, we have a shortened week, and tomorrow, Wednesday, we will follow a two-hour delayed start. All students will report directly to 3rd period and continue with our regular bell schedule from there.
Progress Reports
This Friday marks the midpoint of the grading period and the deadline for progress report grades. Please remember that these grades will affect UIL eligibility, so I encourage you to review your child’s progress and make plans for tutoring if needed.
MAP/Screener Testing – Electives, Fine Arts, and Social Studies
This week, students in elective, fine arts, and social studies classes will take their middle-of-year screener tests. These assessments are designed to be completed within one class period, and we will maintain our regular bell schedule.
Additionally, if your child missed a MAP exam for RLA, Math, or Science last week due to an absence, they will have an opportunity to make it up. Make-up sessions will take place in the cafeteria, and students will be called in to complete these important assessments.
Summer School and Saturday School
Please take a moment to review your child’s report card on the Home Access Center. Students who failed the first semester are at risk of attending summer school. Additionally, students with an attendance rate below 80% and/or who failed a class will be invited to remaining Saturday School sessions. These sessions are crucial for making up attendance and improving grades to pass for the year. Your partnership is vital to your child’s success. Thank you for your attention and continued support as we work together to ensure a strong academic finish this year!
Home Access Center
Report cards are available on Home Access Center. If you need help logging into your account, please email our registrar and she will be able to help you reset your login information.
