A Message from the Administration

The Wrangler sat down with some of the administration staff to get some tips for the student body.

  1. We encourage our students to closely monitor their grades, attendance and discipline consequences as all (3) contribute to a student’s ability to exempt fall 2014 final exams.  If students have questions about their fall 2014 attendance and/or discipline report, please note the questions on the report(s) and turn in to the Student Service Window.
  2. The second six weeks grading period closes on Friday, November 7, 2014 (this is a short six weeks grading period).  Report cards will be distributed through advisory on Thursday, November 13, 2014.  UIL “No Pass/No Play” will take effect at 4:00 p.m. on Friday, November 14, 2014.
