TWHS 2023-2024 Symphonic Winds have been selected as a Citation of Excellence Winner by the Foundation for Music Education! The Citation of Excellence project seeks to recognize and award outstanding achievement in performance by non-varsity high school and middle school bands and orchestras. A unique competitive environment is created which allows ensembles to compare their performance quality to other outstanding non-varsity ensembles. Congratulations to the Symphonic Winds and Mr. Stickley on this outstanding achievement!

THEATER: The Woodlands High School Theater Department proudly presents the award-winning comedy "Art” written by French playwright Yasmina Reza. In the heart of Paris, three pals—Serge, Marc, and Yvan—are about to discover that friendship is a lot like fine art: subjective, fragile, and occasionally overpriced. When Serge splurges on an extravagant painting, Marc's jaw hits the floor faster than Serge’s wallet emptied. Marc clearly fails to appreciate Serge’s newfound passion for modern 'nothingness'. What starts as an art critique quickly spirals into a full-blown roast, with each friend using the painting as a handy excuse to air some long-buried grievances. As the play unfolds, one burning question emerges: Could this blank canvas be the masterpiece that finally paints their friendship into a corner?

Come join these three long-time friends and see how their friendship suffers considerable strain as a result of their differing opinions. Performances will be held in the Blackbox Theater at The Woodlands High School on September 26th & 27th at 7:00 p.m., as well as September 28th at 2:00 p.m. & 7:00 p.m. Tickets can be purchased at the door or online at www.twhstheater.com. For more information about the TWHS production of Art visit www.twhstheater.com. Also, visit our socials for updates about our department and exclusive sneak peeks backstage. @twhstheater

We still have some students with incomplete vaccine records. If you have received a letter or email from the clinic notifying you that your student has overdue vaccines or an expired Conscientious Objector exemption, please take care of it as soon as possible so they may remain enrolled.

ATTENTION PARENTS OF SENIORS: You may not be aware that colleges and universities require a second dose of the MCV4 (meningitis) vaccine, received on or after a child’s 16th birthday. There is also an optional Meningitis B vaccine that is available to protect children against additional strains of the meningococcal bacteria. Please discuss that with their pediatrician. If you need a copy of your child’s vaccine record to take to their physician, you can request it by emailing Mrs. Ansley at aransley@conroeisd.net with your child’s name.

If you indicated on the annual online enrollment that your student has a chronic condition that may require medication during the school day, there are action plans that need to be signed by a doctor every school year and turned in to the clinic before your student may begin carrying his or her medication; inhalers, Epi-pens, and diabetic supplies are the ONLY medications that students may carry. Those forms are available in the clinic or on our website, https://twhs.conroeisd.net/departments/department-home/clinic/

Parents or guardians are welcome to check in over the counter (OTC) medications to be kept in the clinic and administered by the clinic staff. We ask that medication be unexpired, in its original container, and no more than a 30-day supply (No Costco-sized containers). We are also only allowed to give the medication according to the directions on the container, unless it is accompanied by a doctor’s note.

We are starting to see many students with illness at school. Please discuss with your child the importance of good handwashing, avoiding touching their face, not eating or drinking after each other, getting a good night’s rest, and drinking plenty of water throughout the day. Eating something with protein in the morning can also be a huge help in being successful at school.

Please keep all sick students at home until they are fever-free for 24 hours without the use of fever-reducing medications, and have overall improving symptoms. We have many medically fragile students and staff members, and want to avoid spreading illness at school.

AP TESTING: On 9/16, the AP exam test fee was specifically loaded into any student account who is enrolled in an AP course. Students should pay for their exams through their personal School Cash Online account.

Students CANNOT pay for their tests on a sibling's or friend's account (if their sibling/friend is also taking AP exams).

If you are enrolled in an AP class, but do not have the item loaded to your School Cash Online account, please contact Ms. Braun at LBraun@conroeisd.net

All "exam-only" tests must be paid for by the November 7th deadline to avoid the $40 late fee.

Please see ALL AP testing information on our website to ensure proper test registration, payment, and exam-day details: www.tinyurl.com/twhsAPexams

Early Releases: If your student needs to leave early, please send them with a note to be delivered to the Attendance office before school. Doing so will ensure that the check-out process will be as quick and efficient as possible. There are no early releases after 2:00 p.m. Please feel free to call the Attendance office with any questions or concerns. We are happy to help!

CLASS & CLUB FEE PAYMENTS: Please remember to pay class and club fees through School Cash Online. The website is: https://conroeisd.schoolcashonline.com/

If you have not used the site before, you will need to add your student using the student ID number, full legal last name, and birthdate. Once this information has been added, you will be able to view and pay fees throughout the school year that are made available for payment. If you have questions or concerns about specific fees, please contact the teacher for the class or club to discuss them. Thank you for paying fees promptly to ensure materials for class and club activities will be available when they are needed.

LANGUAGE CLASSES: The Chinese, German, French, and Japanese teachers at The Woodlands High School would like to introduce ourselves and speak more about our language programs. If you're interested in languages that provide a distinct advantage in college admissions and future employment, offer several fun, educational after-school programs, and offer more one-on-one attention to our students, please visit our newsletter: TWHS Foreign Language Newsletter

RYLA: RYLA is one of the premier leadership development programs for young adults in Texas. It is an exciting, intensive experience where any high school Junior can develop their leadership skills and their commitment to lead with a high level of integrity while having fun, making connections, building teamwork and developing communication skills.

The RYLA Conference this year will take place January 10-12, 2025. It is conducted by Rotarians of Rotary District 5910.

The facility includes air-conditioned housing, dining facilities, meeting rooms, and many acres of forest/wildlife areas.

THE WOODLANDS HIGH SCHOOL ART TRUST

Submissions for 2024 are now OPEN! Please pass this on to Texas Artists!

Have you ever noticed the 66 works of art by established Texas artists that are permanently displayed in the hallways at school? This is The Woodlands High School Art Trust Collection and we are celebrating our 14th year! This collection of art works has been selected and purchased by our students over the past 13 years. Each year we add new works to the collection and our next selection process has begun. Submissions will be accepted until October 6th for consideration into our collection for 2024. We invite established Texas artists who have had work accepted into a juried show and are at least 22 years old to submit works to be considered for acquisition in 2024. If you know an established Texas Artist that might be interested, please pass this information on! Click HERE to learn more.

In mid-October, our student committee will narrow down the works submitted to 12-15 artworks that will be voted on by the entire student body in mid-November. Posters of the artworks will be on view at school in November and the original pieces will be displayed in the cafeteria just prior to voting. The students will purchase as many as possible of the pieces that receive the most votes on November 15.

The artworks are purchased through funds set aside by Student Council from the Homecoming Dance, however, the framing, lighting and conservation of these pieces need funding. Consider helping with that funding and show your support for The Woodlands High School Art Trust by joining our "One Hundred Friends of Art." Our goal is to have 100 arts supporters make an annual donation to support our cause. Donations are tax deductible and start as low as $10!! Visit our website to make a contribution: www.twhsat.org

The Woodlands High School Art Trust (TWHSAT) a 501(c)3 organization, was established in 2011 to help maintain, conserve and display the student-selected, student-purchased collection of established artists at The Woodlands High School. The vision for the TWHS Art Trust is to see the art collection grow each year and to have it extend through the hallways of the high school. We also offer FREE tours of our collection to schools and other groups by appointment.

Other than the public sculptures around The Woodlands, this is the ONLY permanent collection of art available to the public. It is seen by THOUSANDS of people every day. Please consider supporting this unique collection that sets us apart from other public high schools and strengthens our goal of being one of the best high schools in the state and country.

For more information on The Woodlands High School Art Trust please visit our website: www.twhsat.org or contact Susan Cosculluela at twhsat@gmail.com
