Student Schedules
Student schedules will be mailed out the second week of August and will be accessible via HISDConnect. If your child does not receive a schedule before August 18 or cannot view it in HISDConnect, you may pick it up on Friday, August 19 when you attend the MEET THE TEACHER event.
PowerUP Campus
Starting this school year, Chrysalis MS will be a PowerUp campus. This means that every student, 6th thru 8th, will be able to have their own school laptop for a yearly non-refundable fee of $25. The agreement below must be filled out and returned the first week of school to your child's homeroom teacher. Laptops will be used on a regular basis for classroom instruction and will be considered a school supply.
To pick up a laptop, students must pay the $25 laptop fee. Use SchoolPay to pay online with a credit card. Further instructions on how to pay this way will be sent home later on.
Additional Fees:
The yearly $25 Power Up fee is NOT insurance. Students are responsible for any damage done to their laptop. If a student's laptop is damaged, they will need to pay a $25 fee to have it replaced per item damaged. Damage Includes: Broken/Cracked Screen, Missing Keys, Damage to Charging Port, Damage to LCD Cover or Hinges, Water/Liquid Damage and Cracked Mainboard.
For excessive or intentional damage, student will pay the actual cost of repairs.
Charger replacement (lost/ stolen charger, damage to charger): $25.
Lost Laptops:
If a student loses their laptop, they will need to complete a Police report with the campus Police or HPD. Once the report has been filed, student will pay an additional $25 Power Up fee and be issued another laptop. Students who lose their laptop off campus will need to file a report with HPD, and bring a copy to the Tech Room before a replacement will be issued. HPD Online Report
Uniforms
School uniforms will be enforced for the 2022-2023 school year. The price for the uniform shirt remains $12.00 per school shirt. We will be selling shirts daily beginning Thursday, August 4, 2022, through Friday, August 19, 2022, at 8am to 12pm and 1 pm to 4 pm. Although khaki uniform pants for Chrysalis MS will continue to be part of the uniform, blue jeans will now be allowed as part of the school uniform as well. Blue jeans may NOT be torn or ripped. If a student is on campus with ripped jeans, we will loan the child a pair of uniform pants from our nurse's office or parents may be called to bring a pair of pants.
