- Friday, March 12 - Last day for Cycle 4
NG’s on Most Recent Report Card
We have identified discrepancies when reviewing NG’s on most recent report card. We are working to resolve these. Deans will send updated letter to students via email by Friday, March 12th with accurate information. If a student is absent more than 10% for one semester, the system will show “NG” for “No Grade” on transcript and report card until it is resolved. Students should know that if they are absent on a Monday, it counts as two 45 minute days since that class meets for 90 minutes and does not meet on Tuesday. Once students receive the updated letter, they will see instructions as it relates to next steps.
HCC Grades on RC
HCC grades are not posted on RC but will be posted on the unofficial transcript. Dean Speier is working diligently to ensure all HCC grades are updated and accurate on PowerSchool. Similarly to first semester, an email will be sent to students with individual HISD unofficial transcript within the next two weeks.
Progress Report 4
Progress reports were originally scheduled to be released on February 26, 2021, but the schedule has been adjusted because of the seven missed school days. The 4th grading cycle will still end on March 12, 2021. Progress Report 4 will include grades up to Feb 12th and will be mailed on Monday march 2nd
Senior Class Rankings and Transcripts
Final senior rankings and transcripts will be released by the campuses on Wednesday, March 3, 2021.

This program will be implemented in conjunction with the Texas Education Agency and the Texas Division of Emergency Management, who are working with select districts across the state to offer COVID-19 Rapid Testing at no cost to students and district employees. The district will be provided with the resources to test campus-based staff and a percentage of students (with permission from parents) to reduce the risk of spread in school communities.
The COVID-19 Rapid Testing pilot program will use BinaxNOW tests, which provide results in 15 minutes and are administered using a nasal swab in the front area of the nostril. The BinaxNOW tests have been shown to be highly accurate, with accuracy rates of 97-98% for symptomatic individuals.
Tests will be available to all students (with permission from parents) who are showing symptoms of COVID-19 or who were in close contact of those who test positive. Below are consent forms which are required before any student can be tested.
If a parent has given permission for HISD to administer the BinaxNOW test for their child, the child’s school will call the parent to let you know that the student is experiencing symptoms and that they will be administering a BinaxNOW test. The test administrator will also call to share the results after the test has been administered. Additionally, the student’s parent or guardian will receive test results via text within 15 minutes and will also receive a confirmation email within 24 hours.

Falcons, I just wanted to let you know that we will not be participating in campus based sports this year. This is for several reasons. Please note, this only applies to non-UIL sports. UIL sports have protocols in place to keep students and families safe.
- First, we considered the number of sports related injuries that resulted in students having to report to a hospital from our campus the past few years. To say this is a less than ideal time to go to a hospital is an understatement.
- Second, earlier today, NPR reported 100% of ICU beds are filled in our medical center (and we have the largest medical center in the world.)
- We also considered virus projections following winter break, they are projected to be the highest level since the pandemic began.
Students will be able to participate in UIL sports at their home campus if they wish to participate in sports. Additionally, if the environment improves, we will begin offering strength and conditioning to our students. More info will follow if we are able to offer this opportunity.Principal Square -

HISD adopts new grading policy for remainder of school year
For the remainder of the 2019-2020 school year, the Houston Independent School District is adopting a new grading policy in alignment with the implementation of the district’s new online learning system, HISD @ H.O.M.E.
To ensure that students’ grades are not negatively impacted due to the need for online instruction in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic:
- No district grades taken after March 12, 2020 can negatively impact a student’s overall average for the course.
- If a student’s grade in the final grading cycle negatively impacts their overall final grade in a course, that final cycle grade will be omitted in the calculation of the final grade for the course.
- Individual schools have discretion for class assignments and grading, but they have been asked to be flexible and understanding of the burdens and limitations that COVID-19 has placed on students and families.
Parents and students are encouraged to save all completed assignments in one place if students are unable to submit their work digitally until further details are provided. More detailed information pertaining to grading can be accessed at www.houstonisd.org/HealthAlerts

New Parking Rules and Regulations begin Jan. 2
Starting in January, every member of the HCC family (Students, Faculty and Staff) and Contractors and Visitors will need to display an HCC issued parking permit on their dashboard or hanging on their center mirror when on HCC property.
If you have a permit today, you will not need a new permit until September 2020.
If you do not have a permit today, you may submit a request for a parking permit by clicking on the link and following the instruction at the parking website: hccs.edu/parking.
Who needs a permit? All Students, Faculty Staff and Contractors and Visitors. Full or part-time, including STUDENTS who park a vehicle on any HCC parking lot across the district will need to have a permit displayed on their dashboard or center mirror. More information regarding Contractor and Visitor parking permits is available by HCCPD to the Campus Operations Officer.
Why do we need parking permits? HCC is vested in the safety and security of our property and resources. To ensure that parking is available to the HCC Family and those visitors and/or contractors who are conducting business with HCC, a new parking permit system is being launched.
Will tickets be issued to violators? Yes, beginning January 2, the HCCPD will start issuing warning tickets for vehicles that do not display an HCC parking permit on their dashboard or center mirror.
On February 1, and thereafter, if you do not have the permit displayed, official HCC parking tickets will be issued. Vehicles parked on HCC Property and that do not display an HCC Parking Permit will be ticketed and may be booted or towed, at the discretion of HCC.
Please be sure to only park in lots marked for your permit (students in student lots, faculty and staff in faculty and staff lots). Parking in unauthorized spaces will result in enforcement by the police.
These new rules will make a better environment for all of us and should ease our parking crunch this Spring. Please be safe over the holidays and we’ll be here to serve you in January.
