New Tardy Policy-Effective February 1st, 2021
In order to maximize instructional time, students are expected to be in class ready to learn when the bell rings. There has been a gradual increase in unexcused late arrivals in the morning as well as students arriving late to class during the day. Remember that students are considered late to school if they are not in their classroom ready to learn at the 8:30 bell. Please make every effort to ensure this takes place. When students are tardy (in the morning and between classes), the following will take place:
Students must go to the nearest faculty member stationed in the hallway to be entered in the electronic tardy sweep.
He/she will also receive a tardy pass for admission to class.
Teachers will mark the tardy in Skyward.
Please make note of the progressive consequences for tardies:
1st Tardy-Verbal Warning
2nd Tardy-Verbal Warning and Parent Contact (teacher)
3rd Tardy-Parent Call and lunch/recess detention (assigned by administrator)
4th Tardy-Virtual Parent Conference and after school detention (assigned by administrator).
5th Tardy-Office Referral
Thank you for helping us get our students to class on time!
Transition from Pre-AP to Advanced Courses
Beginning in the Fall of 2021, the title of Pre-Advanced Placement (Pre-AP) courses will change. In the 2021-2022 Course Catalog, these courses will be referred to as Advanced. For example, if a class was previously called Pre-AP Geometry, it will now be named Advanced Geometry. The change is in name only; the curriculum and related services will remain the same. The Advanced title more closely aligns course titles with the strong programming MISD already has in place and clearly identifies and defines the courses as advanced in content.
5th Grade Only: All Pre-AP and Advanced course designations are being removed effective in the 2021-2022 school year. All 5th grade courses will be on-level. This gives teachers and students the opportunity to establish a strong foundation for future advanced programming coursework, and it will better support the transition from elementary to a post-elementary model of instruction.
7th Grade Mathematics Only: Grade 7 Advanced Mathematics will continue to be an accelerated course where students will be expected to master both the 7th and 8th grade state standards and curriculums during the student’s 7th grade year and prior to subsequent enrollment into Algebra 1.
Should you or your student have any questions about the new course names or existing services, please contact your campus grade level counselor or the Advanced Academics Department at 817.299.4388.

Safety Violation Procedures-Please Read!
According to The Tarrant County Health Department, COVID-19 numbers are steadily increasing. The Community Spread Level is now substantial. Our number one priority at Icenhower is to keep our students and staff safe. Therefore, we are going to implement our campus Safety Violation Procedures. Students who are not adhering to safety rules on campus as it relates to the spread of COVID-19 after receiving warnings will be documented and allowed the opportunity to correct the behavior. After multiple offenses, the student will continue their learning in the virtual setting. Please talk to your Husky Pups about the importance of being safe. We're in this together!
Reminder about Masks, Cell Phone Use, and Dress Code
Masks
We are seeing a handful of students who continue to be intentionally defiant with wearing their masks and following safety procedures. Masks are non-negotiable and MUST be worn by all students! There are discipline actions that are part of our student code of conduct, and they will be enforced if students choose not to comply with the non-negotiable rule. Bandanas and masks with valves are NOT allowed.
Cell Phones/Devices and Earbuds
We are starting to see more students abuse their technology by having it out without permission or having earbuds in while in the halls. Please remind your child of the technology policy, and the consequences that occur when a device is taken up when it is used without permission.
Leggings
Remember that leggings are not permitted unless a top is worn that allows the fingertips to hit the bottom.
Sagging
Sagging is not permitted.
After School Tutorials-Registration Closed
Sign up is now closed for our after school tutorials. If you missed the deadline but would still like to participate, please contact Mr. Dunn.
Credit Recovery Registration Closed
Change for Absence Protocol for In-Person Students
Please note that beginning Wednesday, Nov. 4, the beginning of the Third Six Weeks grading period, students who have selected in-person instruction will only be counted present when they are physically in class unless they have been quarantined due to COVID-19.
This means that in-person students will no longer be able to turn in assignments by 11:59 p.m. of that day to be counted present. They must be physically present in class to avoid an absence.
Quarantined students will be able to follow current practices to gain attendance for days they are quarantined.
Students enrolled in the MISD Virtual Learning Academy will continue to follow their current attendance practices.

No Visitors Allowed in the Building
If your child forgets his/her lunch and/or any materials needed for their learning, please follow the following procedures:
- Ring the Bell to speak to someone in the front office
- Let them know you are there to drop off your child's lunch and/or materials needed for learning
- Leave your item(s) on a table in the foyer with your child's name on it. It MUST have your child's name on it. Someone will get it off the table and deliver it to your child.
- Exit the building after that. You will not be allowed to come into the front office and/or give your child their item(s).
*This is different than having an appointment and/or being called to come pick up your child due to illness or other circumstances.
We appreciate your cooperation!
