Hello Conroe Tiger Families,
Last Friday, September 20th, was the last Friday of the 1st 6-weeks of school! We have been communicating to you that this is an important UIL Eligibility Date. 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 on Friday, September 27th at 2:35 pm. They will be eligible to regain eligibility the next grading period. Here are a few updates and reminders:
ATTENDANCE MATTERS
Our attendance for last week was 94%. 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
Conroe High School is very large and we have a lot of students, but we have put measures in place to ensure students arrive to their classes on time. 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. We will begin Tardy Sweeps this week! Please be sure to read the letter below for more information.

SOPHOMORE PARENT INFORMATION NIGHT
Sophomore Parents, we hope to see you tomorrow evening, Monday September 23rd, for Meet the Teacher - Parent Information Night. Please come any time between 5:15 and 6:10 to meet your child's Core Academic Teachers. (ASHP Teachers will not be in attendance.) It is not a time for a parent conference but an opportunity to hear about class expectations for grades, assignments, projects, etc. Parent Information Night, which will include a grade level overview for the year, will begin at 6:15 in the Cafeteria. There will be a meeting for parents of AVID Sophomores at 6:45 in the College and Career Center! If you have any questions, let us know! We look forward to seeing you all tomorrow evening!
EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES
We are incredibly proud of the success many of our teams are having and we love the way our students show up to support! I want to remind you that if your child is struggling with truancy, tardies or behavior they may be at risk of not being able to attend extracurricular activities. An Assistant Principal will contact you if your child is on the Do Not Admit list for extracurricular activities.
FREE AND REDUCED LUNCH INFORMATION
If you need to apply for the free and reduced lunch program please visit the Conroe ISD Child Nutrition website. If you are in need of information regarding the program please see the attached flyers for information. All applications must be received by September 25.

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.

HOMECOMING
We are looking forward to an amazing homecoming week including dress-up days, parade, football game and the dance! There is a flyer below that contains information about the dance. Tickets sales will be limited! Once tickets are sold out, additional tickets will not be available.
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. If your student needs a new student ID, they need to go to their Assistant Principal's office so they can request a new ID.
