Hello Conroe Tiger Families,
We had another great week at Conroe High School! Our 1st Pep-Rally of the school year was held on Friday and it was a great one! We're so proud of our Seniors and their leadership!
We would like to remind you that September 20th is this Friday! This is an important UIL Eligibility Date which is the last Friday of the first 6-weeks of school. Your student must be passing all of their classes on their September 26th Progress Report to participate in UIL Events. If they are not passing, they will lose eligibility. If your students needs additional support, have them speak to teachers about tutorials opportunities. Here are a few updates and reminders:
ATTENDANCE MATTERS
Our current attendance rate is: 93.5%. 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.

CHS9 Attendance: CHS9Attendance@conroeisd.net
TARDY SWEEPS
Our campus is very large and we have a lot of students, but we have put measures in place to ensure students arrive to their next class work. Outside of car rider traffic and late buses, there is no reason any student should be tardy. If your student is not in car rider traffic or on a late bus, they should arrive to class on time. If your child is caught in a tardy sweep, they will receive a consequence. More information to come regarding our tardy sweeps.
PARENT INFORMATION NIGHTS
Don’t forget about our upcoming Parent Information Nights! You will have a chance to have a grade level meet and greet with your students’ teachers between 5:15 and 6:15. It is not a time for a parent conference, but an opportunity to hear about class expectations for grades, assignments, projects, etc. We look forward to seeing you there! Let us know what questions you have.

CISD LUNCH CHARGE POLICY
Per CISD Board of Trustees Policy CO (Local), students are allowed 15 days (breakfast and lunch) to charge their meals. This time period is allowing for families to navigate any financial challenges or apply for the school lunch program (free/reduced meals). Once the 15-day charges have expired, the policy dictates that administrative procedures be developed to address students that exhaust the 15-day limit on insufficient balances. Please see this document for more information.

To increase safety at our Varsity Football Games, students in grades K-8 must be accompanied and supervised by a parent or guardian to enter the football game. Please be sure to read the Conroe ISD Stadium Policies.
- Outside food and drinks are not allowed in the stadium.
No spectators are allowed on the field before or after the game.
Fans are not allowed to congregate under the stands.
Stadiums open 1 hour prior to kickoff.

STUDENT IDs
As a reminder all students must wear their ID at all times: visible, chest level and above, on their person (not attached to a backpack or held in their hands). Students who do not have their ID will be required to purchase a temporary ID for $1. This charge will be applied to their school-cash account. You can see if your student has had to purchase any temporary IDs or any other fees by checking their school-cash account. Fees and fines must be cleared as part of the requirements for students to exempt final exams in the spring.
CELL PHONES
Cell phones and their use is not allowed during instructional time. Instructional time is the time in which a student is in class. This means that if a student leaves class to go to the restroom, see the nurse, or report to the AP/Counselor office (for example) they may not take their phone from class. All teachers will have a designated storage spot in their classrooms where students are to put their phones. Cell phone use is only allowed before school, after school, during class transitions, and at lunch. Cell phones and smartwatches should not be used to capture video, audio, or images at school or on the bus unless given permission by campus staff.
PARENT PORTAL
In an effort to help our parents, we are moving to a Parent Portal for parents to access information about their child. You will login similar to the way your child does for school (similar to the SSO) to access school information. All parents/guardians will need to enroll to create an account. You will need the email address that is in your child’s record. Once you enter the email, you will be prompted to create a password. Please make sure to use this tool throughout the year to check your student’s grades, schedule, attendance and more. Teachers send notifications about grades through this portal as well.
Click Parent Portal Directions to for instructions or go to Conroe ISD Webpage then Parents/Students to access the link to the Parent Portal.
STUDENT PARKING PERMITS
Only students in Grades 11 & 12 are allowed to purchase a Parking Permit to park on campus. We have many students who are parking on campus and they do not have a parking permit. See the link below for information regarding Student Parking Permits.
Student Parking Permits
STUDENT BUS TRANSPORTATION

CAMPUS DELIVERIES
We only allow deliveries from parents or family members who are on your child’s records. Food deliveries from food delivery companies such as Uber Eats, Grubhub, etc. are not allowed. Please be sure to communicate this to your child and know if food gets delivered by anyone other than a parent/guardian, they will be able to pick it up at the end of the school day.
