It is a requirement to be signed by the student, the counselor, and the parent.

Library News

The school year is fully in swing! Some benchmarks to be proud of so far: over 16 thousand student visits (including individual visits and class visits), with roughly 2,845 students taught by the librarian, and 180 student sign ins per day, the library is always busy. Featured classes the past 2 weeks are: Sociology is conducting data analysis from their survey results, AP Seminar looked at using defined subject terms for more efficient research using databases, and US History classes are getting lessons on design and technology using Canva to represent what they have learned about the 1920s and sharing with the class through discussion boards on Canvas. In the past 2 weeks, Ms. Carpenter has taught 22 classes and visited with 6 PLCs to see how the library can enhance their instruction.

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.
