Student expectations
In the classroom, the student must comply with these expectations:
- Be in your assigned seat ready to work by the time the bell rings.
- Bring paper, pens, pencils, books, and any other needed supplies every day.
- Keep hands, feet, books, and objects to yourself.
- Refrain from swearing, making rude gestures, put downs, or disruptive behavior

Absences
Please contact Priscilla Lopez to report your student's absence. She can be reached at the school number: (972) 240-3720. Your timely efforts are appreciated.
Schedule Change Procedures
The first days of school are among the busiest times of the year. During the first few days, priority will be given to students with missing courses or incorrect grade-level placements.
Students requesting a schedule change must follow the established procedures, which require administrative approval. Please note that schedule changes are not guaranteed.
Students may request a schedule change through the Counselors Page in Canvas. Parents may also request a schedule change by emailing their student’s counselor. Counselors are assigned by grade level.
Please allow at least 48 hours for schedule change requests to be reviewed and processed.
The deadline to submit schedule change requests for the 2026–2027 school year is August 31.
No schedule changes will be made after the August 31 deadline, including second semester schedule changes. If a scheduling conflict arises after the deadline, a parent must contact the student’s counselor directly.
