SUMMER UPDATE

We hope you are having a wonderful and relaxing summer vacation with your families! Here at Energy we are working hard to prepare for a successful and exciting year. We had a successful move and are excited to welcome everyone to our permanent home!

This newsletter is full of important information regarding the new school year, summer activities, and exciting news, so please read carefully!
CAMP DROP OFF: TOMORROW 12 PM AT THE NEW CAMPUS.


We hope every student has had a chance to log into the summer enrichment program and engaged in some meaningful English and math activities. If you have not yet done so, it is not too late! Log in today and spend the last couple weeks of summer getting yourself ready for a great school year!


*For your math assignment, please select the course level you most recently completed. You can log in under either teacher.


ORIENTATION

Please make arrangements to attend orientation based on your assigned date above. In order to be prepared for orientation please make sure to do the following things prior to your day.
  • Attend orientation in dress code in order to take your ID photo.
  • Complete the PowerUp form (English / Spanish) including parent signature.
  • Be prepared to submit $25 laptop fee via cash or pay online at https://www.schoolpay.com/link/2018powerupfee
  • If you are submitting a parking application, make sure you bring the completed Parking Application, a copy of your Driver's License, insurance card and $30 in cash.
  • If you would like to volunteer to help with laptop deployment during orientation you can sign up here.
SCHEDULES

Ninth grade students  will receive their schedule in homeroom on the first day of school.  Any  10th - 12th grade students who are unable to attend orientation will receive their schedule in homeroom on the first day of school. 

New student course selections were completed during registration. For those who did not attend a registration date, courses will be selected based on your child's final 8th grade report card. If you have questions regarding your course selection, please send a detailed message to energyinstitutehs@gmail.com. 

Students will have the opportunity to submit schedule request forms the first two weeks of school. Schedule change request forms can be found in the main office and must have a parent signature in order to be considered.
COMMUNICATION FORM

If you did not complete the communication form at registration OR you would like to update your current communication information to include more email addresses or additional cell phone numbers please complete the  Energy Communication Form.


TRANSPORTATION

Please read the HISD News blog post regarding the changes to magnet transportation this year. You can read the full post here. HISD will now be standardizing magnet transportation across 46 hub locations. Please review the map below. Two weeks prior to the start of school you will receive a postcard informing you of your hub location.


SCHOOL SUPPLIES

Student school supply lists will depend on the cohort they are assigned. Student schedules will determine the cohort they are assigned, therefore school supply lists will be available when students pick up their schedules during orientation.

For the first day of school the only thing students will need is a pen and something to write on. Please make sure that students know their home address and emergency contact information in order to complete their enrollment card.
SUMMER PROGRAMS

We have so many students participating in amazing summer programs and we want to share your success stories and summer experiences!

Please submit any pictures you have and a brief explanation of your experiences and the program, job, or travel experience you participated in to energyinstitutehs@gmail.com.
More exciting changes are ahead! The school gets a new building and the PTO gets a new website. Please log onto energyinstitutepto.org  to view this mobile friendly site available in English and Spanish. Join or renew your PTO membership for the upcoming 2018-19 school year, sign-up for volunteer opportunities, and find out about upcoming social events today! Information will be added throughout the month of August, so if what you are looking for is not there, check back soon. 
 
For the first two weeks of school, the PTO will be hosting food sales during our one combined lunch period. We desperately need volunteers to make this a success. To help, go to our website and look for the signup genius. 
 
Seasons change, and so do demands on our time. We have several PTO leadership positions now available. If you are interested in serving as food sales chair, teacher appreciation chair, or deposit coordinator please contact a member of the executive board. 
 
Lastly, mark your calendar for a parent coffee the final Friday of the month. Meet new faces and mingle with returning families as you learn ways to support our school through the PTO. We are looking forward to a great year!
