Fall Events in Full Swing!

It has been exciting to watch our Panthers play hard in volleyball and football, and our Fine Arts concerts are just around the corner! As we approach the midpoint of the quarter, here are a few important reminders:

Second Progress Reports are due next Friday, September 20, and will be posted in HAC (Home Access Center) on September 23.
This will also be our first academic eligibility checkpoint for all UIL events. Students must be passing all classes to remain eligible for participation in events, including athletics and fine arts.

Please take a moment to check HAC this week and talk with your students about any grades that might need attention. If you have any concerns, feel free to reach out to your student’s teacher for support.

Social Media Update: We are now on twitter, instagram and facebook!! Don't forget to follow us!

Academic UIL this year!

We have kicked off sign-ups for Academic UIL this year! All students were introduced to Academic UIL last week and they have had opportunities sign up during all lunches and Panther Time.

Academic UIL is a fun way to compete in academics! There are 16 events offered (click HERE for more details on each event) and practices are once a week starting the week of 10/21. Each event has their own coach and practice time. We'll have a Canvas course up soon (for those that have signed up) with more details on practice times, coaches and competitions (one in January and one in March).

If your student is interested and hasn't signed up yet, there's still time! Use the QR code or link below. Students must be signed in to their SSO to access.

Next Week Celebrate College Week !

Student IDs

Student IDs

So far so good! Thank you for all your support and speaking with your students on the importance of keeping their IDs in a safe place. It makes a difference.

ID Requirements:

All students must wear their IDs around their neck when entering the building and throughout the school day, with the exception of physical activities such as athletics and PE.
Middle school students are required to show and wear their badges at all MISD extracurricular activities, such as games and fine arts events, in addition to bringing an adult with them

Lost or Forgotten IDs:

A $5 fee will be charged for lost or damaged IDs.
If a student forgets their ID, 6th-grade students will receive two free temporary badges, while 7th and 8th graders will receive one. All temporary badges must be returned to the house office or front office by the end of the day to avoid a $5 charge. Any additional instances will incur a $5 fee.

Device Protection Plan Deadline Approaching

McKinney ISD offers an annual Device Protection Plan which will be used to repair accidental damage to MISD issued devices. If you choose to not pay for the Device Protection Plan, you will be responsible for the full cost of repairs or replacement of the device. Lost or missing items are not covered by the Device Protection Plan. The enrollment period for the Device Protection Plan will end on September 30. Please login to MySchoolBucks to pay for the Device Protection Plan.

Reminders:

A valid physical government ID is needed to come inside the building. Photos of the ID are not permitted.

Campus Hours: 8:15 AM - 4:15 PM

Please note that visitors will not be allowed on campus before 8:15 AM. If you require assistance before this time, please schedule an appointment in advance.

Carpool Arrival: Students should not be dropped off before 8:15 AM, as there will be no supervision available prior to this time.

Early Pickup: Students cannot be checked out after 3:15 PM.

Thank you for your cooperation!
