Students, I hope your Thanksgiving break was filled with food, family, and fun! But tomorrow, December 1st all students are expected to report back to school. Let’s shake off that turkey coma, dive back into learning, and make these final weeks count! It’s a C day, you'll visit all your classes, but remember you should not have any major assignments or assessments. Also remember that it’s the end of the semester so it's time to shift gears to make a strong finish. |
Mr. Herrera, Principal |

This week students will begin the second half of cycle 3 and progress reports and those will be going home this Friday, December 6th. Remember that Progress Reports are like a snapshot of your child's progress thus far. Students not earning at least a 70 may be assigned to a mid-day tutorial to help support them for the remainder of the cycle. Check HISD Connect for real-time progress of your child's academic progress. |
