THANKSGIVING HOLIDAYS - November 20-24


Big Thanks for a Successful Charger Fest!
Saturday was such a wonderful example of what a committed and talented community can create when they work together.  Many thanks to our 6th graders, their families and their teachers for an incredible International Fest.  Special thanks to our International Fest Chair, Emanuela Corradino.  

Our Fine Arts Department deserves a really loud shout out for the fantastic performances on Saturday!  many thanks to our performers, fine arts teachers, volunteers and our Charger Fest Chairs, Jenny Hanks, Monica Weber and Felica Broadwell.

And finally, big thanks to our Book Fair Chairs, Orit Lagnado, Shannon Hoffer and Linda Sheldon for an amazing Book Fair week!  So many books and so little time!


Fall Grading Cycles
Last week ended the second grading cycle of the first semester.  Monday, 11/13 is the first day of the final grading cycle of this semester.  The grading cycles are much shorter, and that is making it very difficult for teachers to help students when assignments are not turned in on time.

Please encourage your child to check Parent Student Connect frequently to make sure there are no missing assignments.  

Report card for this recent grading cycle will be distributed on Friday.  If your child has an Incomplete (INC) for any class, they will need to work with the teacher to resolve it immediately.  Most teachers give one week to turn in any missing assignments after the report card is distributed.  If you have questions about an individual teacher's policy, please check the teacher blog/website, or reach out by email.  Please also note, students with an INC are not eligible for participation in UIL activities until the INC is replaced with a passing grade.


Wordpress Blogs
This past week teachers were not able to access their wordpress blogs from within the HISD network.  We are working to remedy that.  In the meantime, please feel free to contact the teacher or House Principal directly by email.
