- Let an administrator or counselor know if there is a concern about student behavior, grades, and/or attendance.
- We are planning safety drills in the next few weeks and will work to accomplish adequate training while balancing class disruptions.
- Technology department recommends using Chrome and Google as your default internet access which allows our filter to run more efficiently.
- Upcoming date: February 18th is a Staff Development day on campus. We have designed a day to bring ideas straight to your planning and classroom. Schedule was shared with department chairs and will be sent soon.

Campus Improvement Goal of the Week
Counselors and Administrators will work with students and parents to understand and create four-year plans designed for individual success.
The process begins with Monday's Course & Facility Showcase and continues with registration. We all play a role in helping students navigate preparing for life after high school. Thank you for all you do to help students grow and achieve.
What Antlers Do....
Attendance Goal is 97%
Let students know the Early Out will happen again! Every day every period counts.
KISD Instructional Standards & TTESS Goals
Important to complete the process--state the learning objective, engage the students, measure their success, and adjust until they master the target.
