UIL Grade Check

If your child is involved in any UIL-‐sanctioned activity (e.g. football,
volleyball, choir, orchestra, band, cheer, etc.) then you will want to pay attention. Friday, September 30th is the first UIL grade check. Any student that is failing a class will become INELIGIBLE for active participation in that activity as of 9/30/16 @ 4pm. Please check your child’s grades in HAC and make sure he/she is passing all classes. If your child is failing any classes, please touch base with the teacher(s) to discuss plans for tutorials and re-‐testing. Remember, MISD Board Policy requires that any student who fails a summative assignment be given an opportunity to redo/retake the summative assignment for a maximum grade of 80%. We highly encourage ALL students to take advantage of this policy. Keep in mind that students must attend at least one tutorial prior to re-‐doing the summative assignment. For the convenience of our students and families, we provide a late bus on Tuesdays and Thursdays for students who stay here for tutorials on those days. You can also find tutorial days/times by teacher on our website www.faubionmiddleschool.com.
