Reporting Bullying Incidents

Bullying is not tolerated in CCISD. The district prohibits bullying on school property, at schoolsponsored or school-related activities, or in any vehicle operated by the district. Bullying may include verbal or written expression, expression through electronic means or physical conduct.

Anyone who believes a student has experienced or engaged in bullying should report the incident immediately via the following options:

• Orally or in writing to a teacher, school counselor, principal or district employee.

• Submitted anonymously via the “Speak Up for Safety” system. Concerns can be reported by calling or texting (361) 631-1011 or by emailing speakup@ccisd.us.

No Pass/No Play

Under the state’s “no pass/no play” law, a student must pass all courses for the previous reporting period to be eligible to participate in extracurricular activities. Students who do not meet this requirement may still attend practices or rehearsals but will not be allowed to participate in performances or competitions. Contact your student’s campus for more information on grading and report cards.

Graduation Requirements

Students meet their graduation requirements by completing the required number of credits and passing five statewide end-of-course exams in the areas of English I (reading and writing), English II (reading and writing), Algebra I, Biology, and U.S. History.

Incoming 9th graders will have an option of selecting an endorsement to help them meet the requirements of the Foundation + Endorsement Graduation Plan. Courses within each endorsement are designed to prepare students for college and career opportunities in their program(s) of interest. They can also select a distinguished level of achievement option. Students must achieve at least 26 credits in respective coursework. Additional information about credit requirements for graduation, visit our district website to view the 2023 – 2024 course catalog.

In addition to meeting the testing and credit requirements, the State of Texas also requires students to complete a FAFSA, TASFA, or opt-out form to be eligible for graduation. This can be done beginning in October of a student’s senior year. Students can connect with their college and career counselor for assistance.

Please consult your high school counselor for additional information and details about particular course credits, graduation plans, or endorsements.
