Progress Book Elimination?

Question: I heard the school will no longer be using ProgressBook for students and parents to check grades and assignments. Is this fact or fiction? If they are suspending its use could we know why? {September 1, 2018}

This is false.  The District uses the software available through our Information Technology Center (Neomin) which is housed in the adult education building at TCTC.  There are no plans to discontinue the use of ProgressBook.  However, starting with the conclusion of the second nine weeks, our school offices do suspend the accounts of parents for those families that have outstanding fees.  Accounts are reactivated when the fees are paid in full.

Athletes and Detention

Question: Someone has told me that football players do not serve detentions because the coaches make the kids run at practice instead. Is this for all student athletes or just football? {September 29, 2017} 

This is false.  However, in general, athletes are not excused from punishments, such as detentions, in lieu of discipline being administered at practice.  Often times, when athletes serve their detention, there is additional punishment administered by the coach as a direct result of the athlete being late to practice as a result.
