SAT School Day
Junior Parents -- On March 22nd, all junior-level students will take the SAT School Day at Clear Creek HS. This exam can qualify students as “college ready” by scoring a minimum of a 480 on the evidenced-based English section and a 530 on the math section. If your child is interested in preparing for this exam by taking an SAT preparatory course, we will offer one before the March testing date. Please see the flier for more details.
More information to come, but Freshmen, Sophomores, and Seniors will follow a regular schedule that day (without Cat Tracks).
AP Capstone Reasearch
Our AP Capstone students are currently conducting research for their coursework. If your student is interested in helping with this research, please consider having them complete one of these surveys
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.
