Parent Information
|
| Parents- Don't forget
to set up your account through the 
Progress Reports
Progress reports are issued every three weeks.
Be sure to check your student’s report, as there
is still time for improvement when the reports are issued.
E-mail is a convenient way to contact teachers and counselors;
their addresses, and other useful information, can be
found on our website (http://tchs.lisd.net)
Esembler (on-line grading)
TCHS is once again participating in the on-line “grade
access.” This system allows parents to monitor their
student’s grades on a weekly basis versus waiting
for the three-week progress reports to be issued. The
on-line grading system is a fantastic tool, and we encourage
parents to use it regularly AND stay in contact with teachers
with any concerns or comments. Instructions can be found
on our LISD website under the Parents/Students link. Research
has shown that when parents are regularly involved with
their child’s education, grades improve.

Federal law requiring them to register with the Selective
Service within 30 days of their 18th. By registering,
not only are they in compliance with the law but remain
eligible for benefits associated with the registration,
such as students loan and grants, job training, Federal
and some state jobs, and if they are immigrants or have
a US citizenship. The registration process has been made
