3rd 9 Weeks Changes to Instructional Environment
Families now have an opportunity to make a change to their child’s learning environment for the third 9-week period. As we have worked with Collin College, our higher education partner for dual credit, it became necessary to adjust the timing of the selection process in order for both organizations to have the information needed for staffing and scheduling second semester. For that reason the following slight adjustment is being made to the selection window:
Revised selection window: November 17-November 30
(Originally scheduled selection window: November 30-December 4)
The new window for selection is November 17-November 30 for all levels (elementary and secondary students). Students will be scheduled in the selected instructional environment, which will go into effect on January 5, 2021. If no changes are made in Parent Portal, then the current instructional environment will remain in effect until the fourth 9-week selection period opens.
Parents Who Do NOT Want to Make a Change of Environment – NO ACTION REQUIRED
Process for Changing Instructional Environment Selection
- All primary guardians will receive a notification prior to the change selection period.
Changes may be made in the Parent Portal. - Instructions on how to complete the process are located in the Parent Portal.
See Something, Say Something Counselor Presentations
Recently students attended a live presentation by their counselors on either November 9 or November 16. The live presentations were recorded; please click on the link from your student's counselor to hear the same presentation your student heard. There is also a link to a brief slide show that was shared visually with the students during the counselors' presentations. We hope families will listen to the presentation and view the slides. If your student was unable to participate in these live presentations, please have them listen to the recording and view the slides.
