Tucker HS Parents,
Thank you for a great first week of school. Please see the following updates and reminders:
- Student Schedules- counselors have completed all requested schedule changes so students will now proceed with the classes and teachers currently assigned.
- Student Attendance-we are monitoring attendance very closely this year for safety reasons as well as to maximize and ensure each student has adequate and necessary time for exposure and to achieve mastery in the content in each class. To that end, please note the following updates:
- Dress Code- please see the DCSD updated dress code rules here
- Students cannot wear slides/flip-flops or slippers but can wear Crocs with the toes covered and strapped heel (there was some confusion on this last week).
- Parking- please see or email Ms. Raphael on any student parking questions or issues
- Safety-
- All students must remain on campus at all times. Unless an 11th or 12th grade student is enrolled in an off-campus dual enrollment class or Work-based learning with an assigned pass, they are not permitted to leave campus. No 9th or 10th grader is eligible for these programs and therefore should not leave campus for any reason during the school day.
- Evolv System- we began using/implementing the weapons detection systems at entrances on Wednesday for everyone entering the building. Students now know what they need to remove from their bags before entering so lines are moving much faster now.

- Students are now able to view their schedules in IC. As soon as you log in, the schedule will be on the homepage.
- Students were given the opportunity to meet with their counselor and build their 2023-2024 schedule last year. Students who changed their minds were allowed the opportunity to adjust their schedules in May by filling out the link and by emailing their counselors. Students will remain in the courses selected during the advisement process. Because of the aforementioned opportunities, schedule changes are limited to the following conditions:
- Dual Enrollment
- Duplicate Courses
- Pathway Completion
- Graduation Requirements
- Transfer from different school
- Summer School Credits
- Balancing Classes
- Level Changes
- Please be mindful that no teacher changes and changes in periods will be made. Homeroom classes are only adjusted if students receive a change in their grade level from attending summer school. If you feel that your student needs a schedule change for the above-mentioned reasons, please fill out the Microsoft form on the counseling website or the link below. The link will be available on July 30th on the THS main page and will close on Thursday, August 3rd at 11:59PM. Emails to counselors will not be accepted.
