Rank One Forms
To Parents/Guardians of Athletes/Band/Cavaliers,
You can now complete your child(ren)’s Rank One Online Forms. Please complete the medical history, Emergency Information Form, Signature Page Form (UIL forms), and Texting Authorization Form before the school year ends so that our trainers have time to help process your child(ren)’s paperwork before the start of next school year.
Please remember that all 2022-2023 paperwork (including physicals) expire on June 1, 2023. If your child is attending SAC camp, they will need all their forms for the 2023-2024 year turned in prior to the first day of camp to be able to participate.

Attendance & Absent Notes
Student attendance in every class every day is crucial to their academic success. Compulsory attendance laws require a student to attend each class at least 90 percent of the days it is offered in order to receive credit or a final grade in a class. When a student's attendance drops below 90% of the days the class is offered, the student may earn credit for the class by completing a plan approved by the principal.
As we continue to transition back to pre-COVID attendance expectations, starting Spring 2023, all absences that are not school-related business (UIL absences, field trips, approved college visits, etc.) will count toward credit appeals. The maximum number of absences a student may accumulate per course for this semester without losing credit is nine. If you have questions specific to your child's attendance, please contact their assistant principal.
If a student is absent, a parent/guardian must provide a note showing the dates and an explanation for any absence within three (3) days after the student’s arrival or return to school. If this note is not sent within the allocated three (3) days, the absence will be unexcused.
