Early Departure(click here to watch the video)

We understand there may be times you will need to pick up your child early from school. Please note that all high school students require 90% attendance for a semester to receive credit. Students may not be picked up early on a regular basis. If this occurs too often, a meeting will be requested by the principal to determine if any assistance is needed. Students may not be picked up within the last 30 minutes of school, this is standard across all HISD campuses. Students may not be picked up after 3:10pm.

Class Attendance/Late Arrivals/AP Courses(click here to watch the video)

Daily Absences: Please submit your excuse to the attendance office located by the main entrance. Excessive Absences: If you miss a class too many times you will not receive credit for the class even if you have a passing grade. This shows as an “NG” on your report card. You have 3 days after the day of absence to turn in any documentation. It is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to turn in paperwork.

Technology(click here to watch the video)

All HISD high school students are issued a laptop computer (NOT a Chromebook) for use during the school year. They are expected to have their fully charged PowerUp laptop at school every day. There is an annual $25 fee for insurance which covers accidental damage and loss. Any issues with the computer are handled quickly through the tech office. • The HISD PowerUp laptop has all the apps and programs needed for students’ required schoolwork. • HISD filters restrict inappropriate material or sites. • Use of personal devices is highly discouraged; there is no technical support for personal devices; and, district-supplied apps may not be available for non-HISD devices. Teachers are not required and should not be expected to offer allowances for issues that arise due to use of non-HISD devices.
