Hello!  Tomorrow, Wednesday 10/16, is the first day of Q2!  For the freshmen families out there, hopefully we set some good habits in Q1 and/or learned important lessons to start fresh in Q2.  Please remember that for your fall semester GPA, it is broken in 3 components:  Q1 grade, Q2 grade, and semester exam.

The exact formula is Q1 is (3/7), Q2 is (3/7), and the semester exam is (1/7).  

I do not mention this so that your student and family endlessly worry about their GPA. The only reason I mention it is so that you can set a goal for your student for Q2 and plan accordingly.  

Your Words and Actions Matter - Help Keep Our Schools Safe
McKinney ISD strives to provide a safe and secure environment for our students, staff, and community. All threats and all reports of suspicious activity are thoroughly investigated by our Safety & Security Department, in conjunction with the McKinney Police Department. Unfortunately, false reports of violence to schools are trending, and in an effort to impede this kind of illegal behavior, we want everyone to understand the consequences of saying or making fake threats.
