*Phoenix Camp is an opportunity to learn about preparing for the first week of school and being successful at Health Careers High School. Upperclassmen mentors will be on hand to assist students with lockers, planning and other team building.

Regarding requesting a schedule change, the next opportunity to do so will be at your prep day.As in previous school years, we will primarily be making corrections only, as the deadline to request a change was Friday, March 8th, for rising 10th-12th graders, and Monday, May 20th, for incoming freshmen.

Please note that counselors will only be making changes for the following reasons:

• Athletics change
• Fine Arts change
• Replace course for which student already earned credit
• Increase academic rigor (on-level to Advanced/AP)
• Add a course required for graduation
• Change non-credit course to credit-bearing course
• Error on our part (for example, a course you did not request; alternates count as a request)

All students must wear their student ID Badge at all times while on campus.

Freshmen and Incoming Sophomores new to Health Careers will be able to get their ID badges on Prep Day for free. Returning students needing an ID replacement will need to pay $5.00.

There is a lot of construction in the Medical Center. Currently, a large section of Hamilton Wolfe is closed with traffic being diverted down Floyd Curl to Wurzbach. We don't know how this will change before the first day of school, so please plan accordingly.

Atharv celebrated by wearing a similar T-shirt as his mom.

2024 AP World History: Modern Summer Assignment (for those without a NISD email account)

• Families can access their child’s Spring 2024 scores along with tailored resources on the dates included in the attached parent letter. (June 7th for EOC)

• Parents can view their child’s score history 24/7 by logging into NISD’s Home Access Center (HAC) and choosing the Texas Test Scores tab. This connects parents to the Texas Assessment Student Portal for families.

• As always, the results will include detailed information in each subject, including areas of strength and gaps in learning, actual test questions, and tailored resources parents can use at home to support learning.

• If parents do not currently have a HAC account, they may follow the instructions here to create one. Once the account has been created, parents may view their child’s state assessment score history by following the steps attached.

Only Juniors and Seniors with a valid driver's license and insurance may park their cars on campus. Please fill out the attached document and bring it along with a copy of your driver's license and insurance with your name on it and $20 to our campus police officer to get your permit. (This form was emailed to all juniors and seniors and will be available at Prep Day as well.

Juniors and Seniors will be eligible for off campus lunch. Please bring the attached permission slip with rules for off campus lunch signed by your parent or guardian. (This form was sent to all juniors and seniors via email and will also be available at Prep Day.)

"Due to outside regular contact with medical professionals, future employers, and the general public, a higher standard of appearance is expected for all Health Careers students than what may be expected at a traditional high school. We understand that the Health Careers administration and faculty will advise students on the responsibility of maintaining a mature and professional appearance, including coloring and styles of hair grooming, facial piercings, as well as appropriate dress and footwear." (HCHS Application)

There is a broad spectrum of what people may consider conventional and/or traditional in regard to dress and grooming. No written policy can account for every situation; however, we believe the following clarifications will be helpful when planning for the upcoming school year at Health Careers HS.

Any hair coloring that is not a natural hair color at birth is considered to be unconventional at Health Careers. For example, shades of blue, green, purple, many bright reds, etc. are prohibited. Large sections of multicolor shades of natural colors are also prohibited. For example, half blond, half black hair would be prohibited. Subtle highlights are acceptable as they are considered conventional at Health Careers HS.

Facial piercings, other than rings and studs in ears, are considered non-traditional at Health Careers HS. This precludes the wearing of gauges in the ears and piercings on the face (eyebrows, nose, lips, cheeks, etc.).

Students at Health Careers will be allowed to wear shorts according to the guidelines in the attached document. Please note any shorts or skirts must be of mid-thigh length.

Due to allergies, COVID and other health concerns, we will not be allowing any outside food to be delivered to or brought to the campus. Students who have off campus lunch will not be allowed to bring any food back to the campus. Parents bringing a forgotten lunch for their own child may bring it in a lunch box/bag or a plain brown bag labeled with the student's name. Food and drink are not allowed in the classrooms. Students may carry a water bottle.
