Students will be classified by the year they entered 9th

you will be reassigned to your cohort dean.

Grades/Report Cards
Questions about “NG” on your report card.
This means you passed the class but did not receive
credit because you had too many absences.
Right now the only way to get credit for these classes is
to retake the class in summer school or next year.
Credit Attempted – this is how many classes you were
- taking. For most of you this is 4.
Credit Earned – this is the actual number of credits
you earned.
You can earn a total of 8 credits a year.
Grades/Report Cards
CREDITS 6 credits to be a SOPHOMORE (10th) 12 credits to be a JUNIOR (11th) 18 credits to be a SENIOR (12th) 26 Credits to GRADUATE
You can earn 4.0 credits per semester You can earn 8.0 credits per year
Course Selection
We will begin selection of classes for next year in mid-
February.
The classes you passed or did not pass this year
determines what classes you take next year.
You can take classes in summer school to make up for
lost credit.
Attendance Policies
Truancy Officers: Mr. Zeno and Mrs. Ugalde You are tardy if you are not IN YOUR CLASSROOM
when the bell rings @ 8:25 A.M. or when the tardy bell rings each period
If you miss more than 30 minutes of a class, regardless of
the reason, you are absent.
MUST turn in a note to the attendance office within 3 days
after absence
Truancy can and will be filed after three absences. You will lose credit for a class after 4 unexcused absences.
You will then have to retake the class the following year.
Testing
Practices STAAR exams
Students took test last week. We are using these to see what interventions or extra
tutorials we need to offer.

Dress Code
DRESS CODE IS STILL ENFORCED
School ID must be worn at all times No camouflage No athletic clothing sweatpants, joggers, basketball
shorts, tights
Clothing must be clean, in good condition and
appropriate for the school setting
No backless or open toed shoes No headwear may be worn in the building No tight fitting or revealing clothing If out of dress code, you will be sent to asked to change
- r will be sent to SRC.
Other issues/discipline
- Tardies/skipping class will not be tolerated.
- We are conducting random hall sweeps during the day.
- The office does not issue passes if students are late. Just
go to class and sign in with your teacher.
- This is one of the biggest reasons for students not
earning credit for a class.
Other issues/discipline (cont.)
- Behavior in the classroom.
- We expect students to act accordingly in the
classroom, regardless if your teacher is there or it is a substitute teacher.
- Leaving campus is not allowed.
- ID’s must be worn at all times.
- If students need a temporary ID, They must get it
before 5th/6th period. We will not issue temporary ID’s once lunch starts.
Other issues/discipline (cont.)
- Cell phone/electronics policy.
- Can only be used before/after school and during lunch.
- If any staff member asks for your electronic device, you are
required to give it to them.
- If you refuse, it is an automatic referral to the office.
- If an electronic device is stolen or lost, the school or
police officers will not look for it.
Power UP
- Computers will be issued the week of January 25th.
- When you get your computer, you must log in with your
- wn ID and password.
- You can still sign a waiver and pay your $25 non
refundable deposit.
