Conroe High School Tiger Tracks

Hello Conroe Tiger Families,

It is hard to believe that we are about to end the 1st three-weeks of the 2nd Nine-Weeks Grading Period. Please remind your students the importance of their grades and their attendance. This week is also Red Ribbon Week! We hope your student will join in on the dress-up fun to support the cause! I also encourage you to take the time, if you haven’t already done so, to talk about the dangers of drugs. Here are a few updates and reminders:

Car Riders - Parents that will be dropping off their students, DO NOT drop your student off on Hwy 105! You can either drop off in the Preferred car rider line at Wilson Road and Longmire or in the front of the building. Please plan for delays with the car rider line. Our front doors will open at 6:45 and First Period begins at 7:15.

Parking Passes - Parking passes are only available for Juniors and Seniors who are eligible. If your child is driving to school please be sure they take care of everything they need to in order to purchase a parking pass. Students will need to park in their assigned parking spot!

CHS9 Car Riders:

If you bring your student to school by vehicle, then please remember that the traffic loop in front of the Ninth Grade Campus contains two lanes. Vehicles can utilize the inside lane (left lane) to help alleviate traffic. When our duty personnel see students getting out of the vehicle from the left lane, we will stop traffic in the right lane allowing your student to cross safely. Please remind your student to check traffic before getting out of the vehicle. Parents, please continue to drive slowly and safely in the student drop-off area. We appreciate your attention to safety and patience every day.
