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

Comunicación

Es muy importante que revise su correo electrónico y calendario de Outlook regularmente tanto para HCC como para HISD.

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.
