Peet Jr. High Newsletter

Hello Parents and Guardians,

I would like to introduce myself to all of our incoming 7th grade parents and students, as well as any other new parents and students to Peet. My name is Chris Kuempel, I am the principal of Peet JH. I hope everyone is having a safe and relaxing summer. Our teachers and district personnel are still enjoying their summer break, but will soon be back at work planning, going over curriculum updates, and designing lessons to engage and enrich our students. I am looking forward to an exciting and productive school year as always. We plan to carry on the traditions for nurturing, educating, and fostering relationships with our students daily as well as growing them academically. Below are a few dates and other information you may find helpful.

Cub Express / Meet the Teacher will be held Wednesday, Aug 3rd from 5:00pm to 7:00pm. This is an opportunity for students to pick up their schedule, walk the building, and meet their teachers. Students must be up to date on all immunizations in order to receive their schedules at this time.

Our first day of school is August 10th - School hours are 8:50am – 4:00pm. Doors will open at 8:15am. If your student is a car rider, we ask that all students be picked up no later than 4:30pm.

We are excited to announce online verification of student registration for the upcoming school year! This process replaces the paper forms sent home at the beginning of each school year. Your verfiication of student registration for your student in Conroe Indpendent School District is now available online. Please see more detailed information below.

I hope you and your students have a great rest of the summer,

Chris Kuempel

Principal, Peet JH

Parents just a reminder that Tdap (Tetanus/Diptheria/Pertussis) and Meningococcal are required BEFORE the first day of school, August 10, 2022, as well as any other immunizations not in compliance with state law. The Department of State Health Services is not waiving the immunization requirements due to Covid-19.

If your child has received these immunizations and you have not sent a copy of your vaccine record to the school, please forward your student's updated record via email to vwilcher@conroeisd.net or fax to 936-709-9830.

If you wish to receive an exemption for immunizations, please request the form online at https://www.dshs.texas.gov/immunize/school/exemptions.aspx . The form must be notarized and the original kept here in your student's health file.

Students must have an updated immunization record on file with Peet to receive a schedule on the summer schedule pick-up day.

Enjoy your summer and stay well!

Vicki Wilcher, RN

We are excited to announce online verification of student registration for the upcoming school year! This process replaces the paper forms sent home at the beginning of each school year. Your verification of student registration for Student at Conroe Independent School District is now available online.

How do I get started?
Click this snapcode link: individual for each student

What’s a snapcode?
By clicking on the link , you are automatically entering your child's snapcode. The snapcode is like a key to your child’s verification of student registration for the upcoming school year. You should receive a unique snapcode or snapcode link for each child.

Should I create an account?
- If you’ve never completed an online verification of student registration, you should create an account. This allows you to securely save your work and come back at a later time if necessary. You can use your email address or cell phone number.
- If you already have an account, you can sign in and complete the form. (You should use the same account to complete forms for multiple children.)

Do I have to answer all the questions?
Questions marked with a red asterisk (*) are required.

What if I make a mistake?
If you would like to make a change, click on the underlined field or click “< Prev” to return to a previous page.

I’ve completed the form, now what?
When you have finished entering your information, click “Submit.” This will send all of the information you’ve entered to the school. If you cannot click on this button, you will need to make sure that you have answered all required questions.

What if I have more than one student in the district?
Do I need to do this for each child? Yes, because you’ll need to provide information that is specific for each child. We recommend that you submit one verification of student registration and then start another – this will allow you to “snap over” shared family information, which will save you time.

I don’t know what a question is asking.
You can contact your child's school or email at registration@conroeisd.net to ask any general questions about the form or the online verification of student registration process.
