For Parents

Parental involvement is one of Carroll ISD’s greatest strengths. We believe that the education of children requires a partnership with their parents. On any given day, you can find hundreds of parents visiting and volunteering on their child’s home campus. Their involvement and support is exceptional and has truly helped make Carroll ISD one of the premier districts in the state of Texas.

Carroll, UTA To Offer Online Dual-Credit Classes

Carroll Senior High School is working with the University of Texas at Arlington to provide online, dual credit classes for the 2009-2010 school year.  The courses are part of the state’s Texas Virtual School Network program.  In the last legislative session, the Texas State Legislature approved funding for the program; therefore, there is no tuition fee for students to participate.  Students will need to purchase their own textbooks. However, as part of the state funding, there will be a $51.00 credit toward the cost of textbooks.

Online registration for the dual credit courses is open now.  For students who are interested in this opportunity, we encourage them to access the website www.StateU.com to learn more about the course selection and registration process. The first semester will begin on September 21, 2009.  A compacted semester will begin on November 9.

Please note the following six points:

1. Visit the website, www.StateU.com. There you will find information about requirements for enrolling, courses that are available, and information about the courses.
2. If you are a senior and you want to take a course that is required for graduation, you must take it at CSHS and not through this online dual credit program.
3. You may not drop a course at CSHS in which you are currently enrolled to participate in this online program.
4. See your CSHS counselor for advice and approval for course selection – this is an essential step in the process because of graduation requirements and course selection.
5. The dual credit course in which you enroll must be part of your CSHS schedule.  This class may be selected as an 8th course selection (replacing your 4th/8th open slot in your current schedule).  This is the only option for enrolling in an eighth course at CSHS.
6. All dual credit courses (either online or taken at CSHS) are recorded on your high school transcript as Pass/Fail (P/F). The actual grade that you earn through UT-Arlington will be recorded on your college transcript.

If you have questions about this opportunity, please contact the Carroll Senior High School Guidance Office at 817.949.5813.

Dragon SafetyZone

A new part of the Carroll ISD website, called the Dragon SafetyZone, is a special web page dedicated to health, wellness and safety information for parents. The page provides detailed information on important topics such as bullying, eating disorders, school lock downs and sex offenders. "We've been working diligently on establishing a comprehensive health and wellness resource called the Dragon SafetyZone," said Superintendent David J. Faltys. "We want our parents to have detailed, helpful information and access to valuable online resources at the click of the mouse."

School officials say Dragon SafetyZone will be an ever-evolving resource page where parents can visit and learn more about school policies, procedures and regulations with regard to health and safety issues.

Dragon SafetyZone will also be the location where parents can read about safety alerts, important announcements and health-related updates. Parent and staff input will be essential to updating and enhancing the information and resources provided.
