Grades, Eligibility, & Attendance

For those who are not already aware, all students’ grades can be viewed by both students and parents through ccisd4me.  Click here for information on how to register and access ccisd4me.  This is being mentioned for two reasons:

1. Academic Eligibility:

Our first UIL eligibility check is on October 2nd.  This means that students must be passing ALL of their classes with a 70 or above in order to remain eligible.  Students who have a 69 or below in any non-waiver class by the close of school on October 2nd will lose eligibility at the close of school on October 9th.  Student in waiver-eligible classes must be passing at the close of school on October 17.  Click here to view the Eligibility calendar for the entire school year.  For more information about eligibility, read the Eligiblity – FAQ section of the Parent Survival Guide (pg. 13) and re-read the UIL Eligiblity section of the 2014 Band Handbook (pg. 6).  Both the Parent Survival Guide and 2014 Band Handbook can be found under “Handouts & Files” in CHARMS.

2. Band Grades:

Band grades can also be viewed in ccisd4me.  Participation grades consist of daily participation in class which includes having all necessary materials.  Participation grades are also made up of attendance at outside of school rehearsals.  Students will lose points for unexcused absences and unexcused tardies.  For more information about what is considered excused vs unexcused read the Attendance section of the Parent Survival Guide (pg. 15) and re-read the Attendance policy section of the 2014 Band Handbook (pg. 16).

We do use CHARMS to track attendance at outside of school rehearsals and performances.  You can view this by logging into CHARMS and then clicking on the “Absences” icon.

For more information about grades, please re-read the Grading Policies section of the 2014 Band handbook (pg.5) and view the Band Syllabus. The Band Syllabus can be found under “Grading Information” in “Handouts & Files” in CHARMS.
