FISD Moves to Nine Week Grading Cycles for 2013-14 Franklin ISD is moving from six-week grading cycles to nine-week cycles beginning 2013-14. Currently, the six-week grading cycles are not necessarily six weeks due to the mandated school start date and the end of the first semester prior to the Christmas holiday. The longer grading cycles will allow students and teachers to have more time between end-of-grading period summative exams. There are positive benefits to having more time within grading periods. For example: Curriculum can feel less rushed within a nine-week period versus a six-week period; teachers can spend less time calculating grades and more time planning for the classroom with four rather than six annual major grade reporting periods; and the students should have an opportunity for additional instruction to relearn material for mastery before the end of the grading period. The new cycles affect UIL (University Interscholastic League) eligibility check-points. However, the ability to regain eligibility remains on a three-week cycle. To aid parents and teachers in understanding the new UIL eligibility calendar, the district will post a guide detailing eligibility checks. If you have any questions, your child’s teacher, coach or organization sponsor along with any administrator are available to help. |

A Message from EZSchooPay If you use EZSchoolPay to pay for your child's lunch, you may have received an email appearing to be from EZSchoolPay asking for information. This is a statement on the EZSchooPay Website. "Several school districts have notified us about a new "phishing" scam which is pretending to be an official notice from EZSchoolPay. The email mentions a new tax, with a link asking for updated information. Remember that EZSchoolPay will never ask you for your password or other personal information in an email, and emails such as this aren't from EZSchoolPay." |

Library News Does your student get excited about books he/she is reading? Do they sit and tell you all the details about the book? If that is your student, encourage them to write a book review! Students can write book reviews on the FMS Online Card Catalog https://franklinisd.follettdestiny.com. Have your student log in (using username and password they would use to get on computers at school), select the book they have read, then click on write a review. It's easy and fun for other students to see what other people thought about the book. |
