*If you have not checked grades through Home Access before, you need to go through the front office to fill out an agreement first. They will get you everything you need to set it up.
If you want to see how your child is doing in between progress reports and report cards, you can log in at Home Access on the Old Town website from home. You will need your child's six digit student ID in order to register and log in. You may email me (brittany_gundersen@roundrockisd.org) for the ID number.
Go to the Old Town Texans homepage and click on the For Parents tab. From there click on the Home Access Center Link and enter in your log in information. If you have not registered, do so by clicking on the indicated link. Let me know if you have any questions!

Make-up Work from Absences
When a student is absent, the student will have one school day to make up the missing assignments. Students shall have one day to turn in make-up work from each day of absences. (ie. Your child is absent two days, he/she will have two days to complete the make-up work).
Late Work
Unfinished work may be completed during Study Hall between 7:20-7:45 before the start of school. Teachers will address this issue with parents on a case by case basis. Late work will result in a maximum grade of 70%.
Progress Reports/Conferences
A progress report will be sent home during the fourth week of each quarter if a student is NOT passing. A teacher shall request a conference with a student's parents at the end of a nine-week period if the student's grades are not passing. Parents and teachers may request a conference at any other time through Home Access Center. Access to the HAC must be completed through Ms. Kleymer Savina, OTE Registrar.
