Conroe High School Tiger Tracks

Hello Conroe Tiger Families,

We hope you had a great weekend! February is here! We will have plenty of students groups competing this month so we hope you're able to come out to support them. Here are a few updates and reminders:

Advanced Academic Night

Please join us on Tuesday, February 6 at 6:00 pm in the Auditorium to hear more about course selection. Want to know the difference between Honors, Advanced Placement and Dual Credit? This is the meeting for you. Come hear how Advanced classes can help your students’ GPA and entrance to college/career fields. Counselors will be on hand to answer your questions.

Students Out of Area

In an effort to maintain Conroe High School as a safe and supportive environment, administration is having to address the increasing issue of students in the hallways after the tardy bell and being out of area during class time and lunches. Students who are identified as “out of area” or without a pass will be assigned one day of in school suspension. Students must be sure to get a pass from their teacher ANYTIME they leave the classroom. We appreciate your support!

Student Safety Reminders

• All students grades 9-12 are required to wear their ID while on campus. We continue to have too many students showing up daily without their student ID. Just a reminder that every time a student has to get a temporary ID they are charged $1. Replacement IDs are $5. These fees are added to your students account. These must be paid. At CHS 9 there will be some events forthcoming where one of the requirements will be to be clear in your fees and fines. Our first event will be our Winter Dance on February 10 (more details to come next week).

• Students should NOT open an exterior door to allow anyone to come inside.

• Students should NOT leave campus without properly checking out through our attendance office.

Student IDs

Temporary ID stations at CHS 9 have started. Students will need to have their ID on or they will have to get a temporary ID prior to entering the building. Any student not wearing their ID in the building may be subject to disciplinary action. Just a reminder that every time a student has to get a temporary ID they are charged $1. Replacement IDs are $5. These fees are added to your students account. These must be paid. At CHS 9 there will be some events forthcoming where one of the requirements will be to be clear in your fees and fines.

Student Parking Lots

Conroe High School will begin locking and monitoring the entrances and exits for the student parking lot from 7:30am to 1:00pm. Students arriving to campus after 7:30 am will still be allowed to enter after checking in with the parking lot attendant. If a student needs to leave campus between the hours of 7:15am-2:35pm students will need to be signed out by a parent or guardian through the front office. Once signed out through the front office students will receive a yellow pass to show the parking lot attendant.

CHS 9 Dance

There will be a dance on February 10 from 7-9:30 on the CHS 9 campus. The theme will be “Winter Luau.” Tickets will be $15 and available for purchase February 7-9. Students who have received ISS, OSS, or DAEP this semester will not be able to purchase tickets. Also, students must have their fees and fines cleared prior to purchasing a ticket. Students will need their ID to purchase a ticket and to enter the dance. We are also in need of volunteers. Please sign up below to volunteer.

TELPAS

If your student will be taking the Texas English Language Proficiency Assessment System also known as the TELPAS test. The test will be given on Wednesday, February 21, 2024 and Thursday, February 22, 2024. This test assesses your students Speaking, Listening, Reading and Writing proficiency. This test will be administered one day for Listening and Speaking and the next day for Reading and Writing. Your student will have the opportunity to come to tutorials after school Monday through Thursday starting January 29, 2024. If you would like to know more about your student’s last year TELPAS scores you can go to parent access and select student information. The passing score for TELPAS this year is 3.5 in composite, whereas in the past it was 4.0.

Tutorial Sign-Up

CHS 9 Drop Off/Pick Up

Please do not drop your students off in the parking lot of the Social Security office in the morning, or pick them up in the parking lot after school. It is causing delays for their employees and the public who need to park there to utilize their services. Thank you.

Attendance Matters

It is important that your child is in class each day unless they are ill. In the event your child does miss school, please be sure to email our attendance office. Also, please remind your child to get with their teacher about any work they missed. Our campus goal for attendance is 97%

Campus Deliveries

We only allow deliveries directly from parents and family members. We CAN NOT accept food deliveries from food delivery companies such as Uber Eats, Grubhub, etc. This becomes a safety concern because we do not truly know who sent the food - a parent or someone your student met online using a parent’s name.

Conroe ISD YOUniversity

Please join us for this event on Saturday, March 2nd from 10 am - 2 pm at the Jett Center. There will be activities, food trucks, presentations for students and parents and information from our community resources. See the flier below for more details and we hope to see you there!

Car Riders - Parents that will be dropping off their students, DO NOT drop your student off on Hwy 105! You can either drop off in the Preferred car rider line at Wilson Road and Longmire or in the front of the building. Please plan for delays with the car rider line. Our front doors will open at 6:45 and First Period begins at 7:15.

Parking Passes - Parking passes are only available for Juniors and Seniors who are eligible. If your child is driving to school please be sure they take care of everything they need to in order to purchase a parking pass. Students will need to park in their assigned parking spot!

CHS9 Car Riders:

If you bring your student to school by vehicle, then please remember that the traffic loop in front of the Ninth Grade Campus contains two lanes. Vehicles can utilize the inside lane (left lane) to help alleviate traffic. When our duty personnel see students getting out of the vehicle from the left lane, we will stop traffic in the right lane allowing your student to cross safely. Please remind your student to check traffic before getting out of the vehicle. Parents, please continue to drive slowly and safely in the student drop-off area. We appreciate your attention to safety and patience every day.
