Panther Newsletter

Panther Pride,
As we enter the 3rd week of term 3 of the 23-24 school year, I extend my sincere appreciation to our amazing students, parents/guardians, and the entire community. The second week back from the break was marked by your collective dedication, and it's inspiring to witness our students diligently working and staying focused on finishing the school year strong.
I also want to express my heartfelt gratitude for the sense of cohesion within our school and community. Your support for one another and the genuine connections you've fostered contribute to the strength of our educational family. Thank you for checking on each other and reinforcing the bonds that make our school community exceptional.
Let's continue to work together to make the remaining weeks of this school year memorable and successful. Your commitment and collaboration are integral to our shared success.
Thank you for being an essential part of our cohesive and supportive school community!
I encourage you to thoroughly read all the information in the newsletter, to become and remain informed of everything that is going on with the Pride. #ThriveWithPride.

Aeries Support
Parents, if you want access to your students grades, attendance, and more, contact our registrar at jcampos@texanscan.org. We will use this data to drive our instruction, provide feedback to student learning, and track progress towards graduation. Please ensure you are at school, on-time, daily and engaged in class. I encourage all Panthers to track their progress and meet with their student advisor if you need additional support.
Campus Attendance
This week we ended with 177 students present out of 228 or 78% of our students. Remember, after the 5 absence of any class, your student will absent-fail the course. Absent-fail means the student will not receive credit for the course and have to repeat the course for credit. With graduation being the ultimate goal, we want to ensure our students are at school and in-class on time, engaged in learning. Parents, we need your support with this. You can check your students attendance on Aeries via the parent portal. Here's the link.
After-school tutoring
The state of Texas has passed House Bill 1416 which takes place of House Bill 4545. This house bill states any student who failed STAAR grades 3-8 or EOC will receive supplemental academic intervention before, during, or after-school through tutorials. These students are required to complete 15-30 documented hours of tutoring. For TCA, these hours are determined by your students STAAR and EOC scores in Math and English. If you've received documentation outlining tutorials, your student has the opportunity to participate in tutorials Monday - Thursday from 4:00 pm - 6:00 pm. Please make arrangements to support your scholar in their academic success.
