Campus Improvement Plan

A Campus Improvement Plan serves as the blueprint for how a campus will address performance objectives and other campus needs that have been identified from a Campus Needs Assessment. 

The 2020-2021 Campus Improvement Plan is coming soon.

Campus Parent Involvement Policy

The Campus Parent Involvement Policy explains how our campus supports the important role of parents in the education of their children. We offer a Parent Compact to establish a partnership among parents, school staff, and students for improving student academic achievement.

Absences & Tardies

Tardies, according to GISD policy, will be reflected on the report card whether they are excused or unexcused.

Students who arrive between 8:15 a.m. and 8:21 a.m. are tardy. Students who arrive after 8:21 a.m. or who leave before 3:00 p.m. have a partial day absence. Students must be in school at 10:00 a.m. in order to be counted present for the school day.

Please send a note with your child when he/she returns to school explaining the reason for the absence and include your child's 6-digit student ID number. Make sure to remind your child to get his/her make-up work. If a doctor's note is applicable, please send it.
