Class Record Book (E-SCHOOL)
General Information
The Class Record Book is a requirement that must be available for inspection by a state auditor at all times. Every teacher must keep a grade book to substantiate the grades reported to parents. All grades will be kept and monitored using the E-SCHOOL program. All grades must be posted by the end of each week. Please refer to deadlines in the weekly Calendar of Events for final grades for each grading cycle.
No student is to assist any teacher with grading papers, recording grades, or posting attendance on E-SCHOOL. The teacher must personally perform these duties promptly and efficiently.
Grades/Grading Policy
All teachers can access the district grading policy via the BISD Website. (www.bisd.us/Curriculum/grading) It is required that all teachers review the BISD Grading Procedures and adhere to all provisions in the policy. The Grading Policy includes information about lesson plans, grade book, and other procedures.
Each Grade Book must contain the following:
1. Teacher name, number, school year, and department.
2. Student identification numbers and names in alphabetical order (E-SCHOOL).
3. Class entry and drop dates that match the attendance sheets (E-SCHOOL).
4. Grades, including withdrawal grades, for each grading period.
5. Assignments clearly labeled and posted on the respective date of the assignment.
Student Grades
1. After student grades are posted on E-SCHOOL, teachers will be asked to verify student grades, and make necessary corrections prior to pressing the "verify" button on E-SCHOOL. Teachers must press the "verify" button at 9:00 a.m. the first school day following the last day of the 3 weeks and 6 weeks.
2. With the exception of migrant student grades, all incomplete grades must be justified and cleared by the end of a grading cycle.
3. Migrant students who register and do not receive a grade should receive an "Incomplete" until all course work is completed.
4. Teachers who do not clear incomplete grades will be periodically notified by the data entry clerks and asked to post grades. No teacher will be cleared at the end of the school year unless a numerical grade has been entered for all students.
5. Teachers are to use the Grade Correction Form to correct student grades. Each Grade Correction form must include teacher signature and reason for correction. Teachers must submit correction forms to Data Entry (G-122) in person. Students are not permitted to obtain or submit these forms.
6. Grades must be corrected in e-school prior to submitting the Grade Correction Form.
NOTE: Please exercise great care when entering grades. Grades impact UIL activities and student transcripts. Students who receive an Incomplete are not eligible to participate in UIL activities until the grade is cleared by the deadlines set forth by the BISD Grading Policy.
Transfer Grades
1. If a student transfers within Hanna High School or BISD, the receiving teacher will average his/her grade with the grade provided by the sending teacher if the change involves the same subject. (i.e. English I to English I)
2. If a student does not drop/add the same subject, a zero must be entered for the grading cycle that the student was not in attendance to the class. (Reminder: To receive credit, a student must be in attendance 90% of the time that a class is offered.)
3. If a student transfers from outside the school district, the teacher will average his/her grades with the transfer grades provided by the out of district school. These grades are located in the student file in the records room. (Subjects must be the same.)

Curriculum and Instruction
The TEKS Content and Academic Standards, which spell out what students should know and be able to do, and provide the link between excellence and equity by setting consistently high, public expectations for ALL students, must be implemented.
Teaching and learning based on standards must address three aspects of day-to-day life in a classroom:
Curriculum - the specific plan for what is to be taught and learned should be based on academic standards (TEKS content and process).
Assessment -methods that allow students to demonstrate what they know and can do, showing that the students' knowledge and skills meet performance standards (TEKS expectations).
Instruction -the tasks, activities, and lessons that prepare students to demonstrate that they meet or exceed the academic standards (TEKS). (Wiggins and McTighe, 1998, p. 4)
BACKWARD DESIGN is an approach that weaves together curriculum, assessment, and instruction in developing rigorous units of study. Educators start with the academic standards (TEKS) that define what students should know and be able to do; then decide on the assessments that will allow students to demonstrate their mastery of the knowledge and skills; and finally develop the lessons, activities, and projects that will prepare students to successfully show what they have learned (Wiggins and McTighe, 1998, p. 8; Mitchell, Willis, and The Chicago Teachers Union Quest Center, 1995, p.5).
Course Syllabus
Teachers must provide a Course Syllabus to each student. The Course Syllabus must contain a brief description of the course (major topics and/or skills to be learned), a list of major projects and/or activities, as well as the individual teacher's procedure/schedule for late work, make-up tests, and re-testing. The teacher will also delineate his/her classroom rules and/or expectations.
A copy of the course syllabus for each of the courses to be taught each semester must be submitted by the end of the second week of school to the Dean of Instruction and Primary Appraiser. The Dean and Primary Appraiser will review and approve all syllabi.
Videos and/or Guest Speakers
As per district policy (EFE Local), videotapes will be used in the classroom for education purposes only. No video shall be shown to a class for entertainment purposes.
1. The teacher must never show a video tape in its entirety. The teacher must prepare a lesson whereby a portion of the tape is viewed, discussed, and a purpose is set for each section that is viewed.
2. Use of a videotape and/or guest speaker must be specified in the teacher's lesson plan by speaker name and video title.
3. Approval for the use of a videotape not found in the library must be obtained from your Primary Appraiser by submitting the OUTSIDE VIDEO APPROVAL FORM. After approval has been granted a copy needs to be given to Primary Appraiser and the Dean of Instruction a week prior to the activity.
4. Approval for guest speaker(s) must be obtained from Dean Juan Chavez by submitting the GUEST SPEAKER APPROVAL FORM. After approval has been granted a copy needs to be given to your Primary Appraiser and the Dean of Instruction a week prior to the activity.

TEKS (what is being taught)
TAKS (specify objectives integrated in the lessons)
EOC (specify objectives integrated in the lessons)
Instructional objective(s) indicating the action, process, and product(s) directly related to the TEKS content and/or performance standards
Strategies, resources, and other information that identify how instruction will occur Re-teaching activities (As per also Grading Procedures, re-teaching is defined as another presentation of content, usually to provide an additional opportunity for a student to learn. Teachers should plan for re-teaching at the same time they are planning for initial instruction.)
Assessment Activities
Student work must reflect standards of excellence which include but are not limited to:
Correct spelling, punctuation, grammar, and organization in a written product approximating the quality of a finished product, not first draft
Accuracy of information, research, and investigative strategies reflective of scientific methods

Trips for fun and entertainment only will not be approved.
Since field trips should be scheduled between 9:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m., field trips are to be scheduled after school or on a weekend, whenever possible, in order to maximize the instructional time available through Traditional Scheduling. For this purpose, a field trip committee will review all extra-curricular and co-curricular activities for the school year.
Teachers must always plan for appropriate supervision. (If you do not have complete confidence in your class, do not take them on a field trip). The "rule of thumb" recommends one adult for each ten students.

A check will not be issued until approval has been granted and a copy of the letter is given to the bookkeeper. A copy of the rental contract must also be attached.

Transition Counselor
Pass Slips to Counselors
1. Students are to be encouraged to see their counselors; the relationship formed between student and counselor during the high school years is an important one, and can certainly be the foundation for successful completion of graduation requirements.
2. Although students "should" see their counselors before school, at lunch, or after school, it is often necessary for counselors to send for students during class time. The reasons are varied; running the gamut from checking on appropriate course placement to a personal abusive situation.
3. PLEASE HONOR THESE REQUESTS. If you choose to not allow the student to see their counselor, please write a note on the pass slip and drop it in the respective counselor's folder. This system will let the counselor know if the student chose not to come to the counselor's office.
THE EAGLE EYE
On the first and third Monday of each month, copies of The Eagle Eye will be distributed through the first period teachers to all students. This effort will be coordinated by the designated counselor. This is a newsletter produced by the counseling department and it is a very important document that gives necessary information to the students. You may choose to discuss portions of it with your class. You are also encouraged to offer comments regarding the publication since you are in the perfect position to see what interests the students, what bores the students, and what confuses them!
Schedule Change Policy: Only the following schedule change(s) will be granted
1. Have credit for the course
2. Wrong grade level course (Senior in Sophomore English)
3. Previously failed course with instructor
4. Did not meet testing requirements for Dual Enrollment course(s)
5. Senior needing specific course to graduate
Policy/Procedure
1. During the spring, counselors will review individual student records and personally meet with students to determine course selection for the following school year based upon available information. (Selection will be made upon the assumption that the student will pass the course if certain circumstances are true. i.e. Student passed and received credit for Part A and is currently passing Part B)
2. The master schedule will be developed using the course selection tally that results from the student interviews.
3. Prior to the first day of school, the counselors will make the following adjustments to student schedules:
a. clear course conflicts, based on availability
b. drop/add courses that have been passed in summer school or summer programs
c. drop/add courses for which pre-requisite was not mastered
d. drop/add electives for courses that did not make as a result of enrollment
4. During the first nine weeks of school, counselors will continue to adjust student schedules to ensure that all students have a complete schedule for the entire school year.
5. Extenuating and other circumstances that may require a schedule change will be requested in writing by the student with the respective counselor's input and evaluated by a "schedule change" committee composed of a counselor and an administrator.
6. Upon committee approval, the respective counselor will contact the student to perform the schedule change and submit a copy of the schedule change form to the data entry clerks who will enter the information using the respective dates and codes.
7. The following exceptions can be expedited by the counselors without committee approval, and data entry must receive a copy of the schedule change form to enter/adjust information:
a. ARD/504 recommendations
b. Long Term AEC & TLC placements
c. Scheduling Errors TM program exits
d. GT policy compliance
e. S.T.A.R.S.
STUDENT IMPACT:
Students will not be allowed to take a course more than once during the same school year.
Students must take failed courses during summer school and after school programs.
Students will not be allowed to drop a course at any time during the year after enrollment.
(Dual Enrollment, AP courses, Athletics, Band, Choir, ROTC, etc.)
To resolve schedule conflicts may require changing an originally selected course, usually an elective. Once the conflict is resolved, the student will not be allowed to drop courses that result from the adjustments.
