Families, we are seeing an increase in Yondr pouches and their destruction. Be reminded that pouches cost $30 each through the vendor. Starting October 7th, students must pay $30 for a lost or damaged Yondr pouch (1st Time). Any additional damaged or lost pouches start at $35 and increase as the infraction increases.

For the BAHSLA Cell Phone Policy with these changes, click here.

We are excited to announce that, as part of the Stronger Connections Grant, we will be starting health and wellbeing surveys the first week of November. These surveys will be conducted through advisory and will help us assess the overall wellness of our students and staff. Our goal is to track growth in these areas throughout the year as we work to foster a healthier school environment.

We’ve already seen great results, with discipline data down and academic performance in Common Assessment 1 (CA 1) significantly up from last year. We look forward to continuing this positive trend with your support!

Thank you for helping us prioritize the wellbeing and success of our students.

On October 23rd, all sophomores, DISD Scholars, and AVID students will take the in-school PSAT. This test is an important opportunity for students to practice for the SAT and can qualify them for National Merit Scholarships, helping them gain access to college scholarships and opportunities.

To help your student prepare, here are some excellent resources:

Khan Academy PSAT Prep: https://www.khanacademy.org/test-prep/sat

Khan Academy provides free, personalized practice based on your student’s PSAT performance.

College Board PSAT Resources: https://collegereadiness.collegeboard.org/psat-nmsqt-psat-10/practice

The College Board offers practice tests, sample questions, and study tips to help students feel ready.

Please encourage your student to take advantage of these resources as they prepare for the PSAT! If you have any questions or need more information, contact our counseling office.

Mark your calendars! Seniors will be taking the TSI (Texas Success Initiative) test on October 29th and 30th. This is an important step for students as they prepare for college readiness. Please ensure your student is well-rested and prepared for these testing dates. To help your student prepare, we have curated a special list of resources and practice exams that your student can engage in from home!

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to the Senior Leadership Team for more information.

Thank you for your support!
