A Letter from your Student Body President:
Hi Pin Oak Parents!
On May 15th, Pin Oak will be hosting a Chick-Fil-A
day. As many of you know, Pin Oak elected its first POMS President and Vice President in
November. I, Tommy Lai, along with my running mate, McHaley Ho, was elected and ran on a platform of selling
Chick-Fil-A during lunch. On May 15th, our hard work will finally pay off
with a day where we will be selling Chick-Fil-A during lunch. But,
parents, we need your help. We will need parent volunteers to sell and
distribute the food to students. I hope you will be able to help with
this historic date. If you have some time and want to help, please email Ms. Ruiz at nruiz@houstonisd.org to let her know you want to help!
Thank You,
Tommy Lai
Houston Public Library Virtual Library Card
Every student at Pin Oak will have access to numerous
library resources at school and home through a new virtual library card known
as Learning Link. Over the next few weeks students will visit
the library during their history class, where Mrs. Welker with help them get
connected. The Learning Link, a collaborative effort between HISD, the Houston
Public Library, the City of Houston and H-E-B as part of the White House
ConnectED Challenge, will give our students access to the Houston Public
library resources 24/7 at no cost.
Students are being automatically enrolled, and can use their
student ID as their library account number to access these resources.
Community Health Needs Assessment
Rice University’s Baker Institute for Public Policy, is
partnering with the Houston Endowment to conduct a needs assessment of the
physical, social, and mental health of children enrolled in the Houston
Independent School District. This
partnership will not only determine the health needs of children within HISD,
but through voluntary participation allows us to measure the needs within the
Pin Oak community. The Pin Oak community
is very diverse, and does not qualify for any Title I funding, although many of
our children meet the requirements to qualify for the National Free and Reduced
Lunch Program. This survey will allow us
to determine the types of services necessary to improve the health of our
entire community. The ultimate goal of
this survey is to develop a strategic plan to address the identified needs of
children in Houston.
Students will take this survey at school before the end of
the survey.
Please take time to complete this survey at

Principal’s School Satisfaction Survey
As I did last year, I want to hear from you! Tell us what we are doing well, and what we
need to improve. Tell us what you think
will improve teaching and learning for all our students.
Students will have an opportunity to give their feedback by
completing a survey at school before the end of the school year.
You can complete the Principal’s School Satisfaction Survey

Course Selection for 2017-18
On Monday students in 6th and 7th
grade will receive course selection sheets during Team Time. They will be asked to complete and return the
forms no later than Friday. Please ask
your child to see the course selection sheet and review it together.
Save the date! If you are interested in learning more about
the process for identifying students for participation in early Algebra for
high school credit, Dr. Hamilton and I will be hosting a meeting on May 1st
at 6:30 p.m.
Intent to Return
Last week we mailed Intent to Return forms home to current 6th
and 7th grade families.
Please complete the form and attach the required proof of residency, and
return to the Main Office. If you have
any questions or concerns, please contact Ms. Gist in the Main Office.
If you haven’t received your form, you may need to update
your mailing address with Ms. Gist. We
do require proof of residence to update your address.
