Safe Gun Storage

Linked is the document outlining State of Texas laws pertaining to concerning safe gun storage and responsibilities of the parent and/or guardian. We are informed that according to Texas State Law 46.13, in Texas, a “child” is defined as a person under the age of 17. The statute indicates that a person commits an offense if a child gains access to a readily dischargeable firearm and charges the person with criminal negligence: (1) failed to secure the firearm; or (2) left the firearm in a place the person knew or should have known the child would gain access to. Please review the attachment on safe gun storage and be familiar with it.

Library News

The school year is fully in swing! Some benchmarks to be proud of so far: nearly ten thousand student visits (including individual visits and class visits), book circulation has reached 2,026 books checked out so far this year, students have embraced the Literacy chords challenge and logged 52 thousand pages since August. To give some context to how many students are participating in the Literacy cords challenge, last year we only had 184 books logged throughout the entire year, this year we have had 186 since August. We have had 90 events scheduled for library instruction and services, this is almost DOUBLE the amount of events scheduled during this same time period last year which was only 47. 

Included in this weeks highlights: This week has been a little bit slower instruction wise, which has allowed Ms. Carpenter to work on library upkeep. There have been many PLC meetings with various departments for upcoming lessons!

Early Dismissal from School

All students must check out with Ms. Espadas in the Attendance Office located in the Main Office before leaving school during the school day. Parents must also come in to check their students out, and they must present a valid ID that matches information in PowerSchool/HISD Connect. The main office will then request the student from class.

3:00 PM is the cut-off time to pick a student up early for the day. Parents arriving after 3:00 PM cannot have their student called down to the attendance office. If a student needs to be picked up early, they must be picked up before 3:00 PM.

When absent, students should turn in an excuse note (doctor’s, parent, etc…) to Ms. Espadas for filing. As a reminder, a minimum attendance requirement of 90% in each class is required to award course credit.
