Irons Family,

The start of the school year is quickly approaching! The The Irons A-Team (administrators & counselors) have been working very hard in preparation for students to return for the 2024-2025 school year! Here are our Assistant Principal & Counselor Teams:

• Mrs. Blanco & Mrs Thetford
• Mr. Oyervides & Mrs. Carpenter
• Dr. Bishop & Mrs. Burgess

We could not be more excited about seeing our students at schedule pick-up day on Monday, August 5th. This event will be a come-and-go event enabling you to pick up your schedule and tour the building. We will also have PE clothes for purchase and a limited supply of school supply kits for purchase. Our 8th-grade students may attend from 4:00-5:30, and 7th-grade students may attend from 5:30-7:00. All students must be current on immunizations to receive a schedule. If needed, you can find immunization resources below:

Given all the excitement with the start of school, I know that parents can become overwhelmed with all the tasks that must be completed to start the year. To help parents stay organized, I have created an Irons to-do list that will help guide you.

I will send an updated newsletter Monday, August 12th with all of our first day procedures and other important information to get us ready for the 1st day of school.

Dr. Olivia Robinson

Irons Jr. High Principal

WE ARE HAWKS!

1. Complete Infosnap Registration-if already in CISD, you received an email with your child's "Snap Code." Use the link to update all information for their enrollment. If you lost the email, we can give you your Snap Code by emailing contactirons@conroeisd.net or calling Irons front office at 936-709-8500.
2. Register for Bus Transportation-If your child used bus transportation last year you are all set! If your child will need bus transportation please see our transportation services to apply for transportation. Please apply even if your child will only ride every now and then. If you are not registered for transportation you cannot ride a bus.
3. Immunizations- Be sure your child is up to date on required immunizations. Per state law, all incoming 7th grade students must have all vaccines current and a copy of records turned into the clinic/Nurse Glenda by the beginning of the school year. Failure to do so may result in your student being withdrawn. The additional immunizations needed are Tdap and MCV4. https://www.conroeisd.net/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/2024-2025-Minimum-Vaccine-Requirements-K-12-Bilingual.pdf
4. Cafeteria Money- Please load money to your child's lunch account here
   
5. SSO Password- Remind your child that their SSO password was reset to default (stu+6 digit ID). When they login again, they must enter the new default password.
6. Apply For School Meal Benefits-If needed. Applications may be completed on-line at https://www.myschoolapps.com/
7. Schedules-will be given out at schedule pick-up day on Monday August 5th. While we do our best to ensure that every student is assigned to the classes requested we cannot always guarantee student requests due to staff changes, seat availability, leveling of classes, and conflicts with other requested classes. I assure you that our students will have many more options for electives in 8th grade or high school. Schedule changes will be limited to correct system problems such as the wrong course level, missing courses, girls assigned to boys PE, etc.
   
8. Parent Access Account-Please log in or set up a parent access account so that you can track assignments and grades.
9. Athletics - Any students participating in athletics, cheer, or dance must have a current and cleared physical on file. If your student took care of this in May, you do not need to worry. All students will need a cleared physical and all information in Rank One before the school year begins. Students without both of these will not be able to participate in athletics, cheer, or dance. If you have any questions, please feel free to email Coach Williams (girls coordinator) or Coach Patterson (boys coordinator). Rank One Information Instructions:
