This week, families who selected face-to-face instruction were sent a callout with information. If you missed it, next week we will send out additional information regarding our plans. While you wait for those important updates, please make sure you have completed the survey found at www.tinyurl.com/facetofacesurvey as soon as possible - this is for families who are selecting face-to-face. Please complete the survey before 9:00 P.M. on Monday, October 5th.

This information will be used and presented to the district in our attempt to have bus transportation available for our students. We are also asking for data from anyone who needs to request specific days to attend or specific people your child needs to attend with in the event that we have a hybrid schedule.

Last week we also hosted our parent community meeting regarding face-to-face. If you would like to view a recording of our information, you can find it at www.tinyurl.com/BacktoSchoolPlanRecorded. We are incredibly appreciative of the positive messages that we have received and the great questions. We have put together a FAQ that you can find at www.tinyurl.com/EnergyPlanFAQ - we will continue to update this as we receive more questions.

Lastly, if you were unable to attend Open House, the link for the meetings has been updated to have the recordings. You can find this at www.tinyurl.com/2020OpenHousePage.

Whether you are attending in person or remote learning, you are required to turn in an immunization record. A signed or stamped immunization record with MD signature or clinic stamp is necessary.

This is due by Monday October 12, 2020, or your child will not be able to attend school or remote into the classes.

Thank you for your assistance in this matter. If you have any questions, please email me at: Jennifer.Singh@houstonisd.org

If there are any students who are currently 17 years and 10 months old and still need the physical forms for registering to vote, please contact Ms. Lim at rebekah.lim@houstonisd.org and she can help arrange for students to register to vote.

The deadline is Monday, October 5th so please contact Ms. Lim over the weekend!

Students in Cohort 1 are well underway in their PBL project. Below are snip its of some of the activities their students did throughout the week.

This Tuesday freshmen in Cohort 2 spent their morning in an Entry Event that kicked off their first project of the semester. In this Revitalizing Regions with Renewables project, students are exploring the driving question "How can we, as non-profit developers, create sources of renewable energy for specific regional needs and capabilities?"

As we wrapped up our forth week of virtual learning, faculty, staff, and students learned to be intentional in their choices and work! Art students were given the opportunity to redraw a picture of a coffee cup provided to them or draw a picture a cup they use at home. Sophomore Alondra Martinez used what she had at home. Beyond learning about the technique of drawing, lines, and shading, students learned to reflect on their own environments and find beauty and inspiration even in the mundane. Here are some of the results!

Back to school means more than hitting the books again; it is a time to hone skills and fuel passions. Get involved and join an EIHS school sponsored club. Participating in a extra-curricular activity is good for building resumes, relationships, ideas; all while promoting well-being.
