Parents/Guardians of current 9th-11th graders,

Believe it or not it's already time to choose our courses for next school year 2020-21. Many of our current Crockett students have submitted their choice sheets online. However, there are several of our students haven't YET chosen their courses.

Please have a conversation with your children to see if they have or have not submitted their choice sheet. If they have NOT, then we would appreciate your help in ensuring they do so.

Students should fill out the online choice sheet ONLY ONCE

Most Crockett 9th-11th graders will use this form to submit their choice sheets. https://form.jotform.com/210138047457150. Again, only submit this form if they have NOT already done so.

Our wonderful Course Selection webpage can help guide your student in choosing their courses. There are even some videos there to show them how to. https://sites.google.com/austinisd.org/crockettcourses/home

ONLY those students already in Early College High School (taking ACC courses and working with Ms. Capps/Mr. Quintana on their course plans) should fill out the ECHS course selection form here. https://form.jotform.com/210154363823146

In the upcoming weeks CHS counselors will be meeting with each student to have an individual conversation about their courses chosen and how they align with the student's plans for after high school while ensuring they are on track to graduate. If students wish to change a course after they submit their choice sheet, they may tell their counselor during these meetings which should occur over the next five weeks.

Padres / tutores de estudiantes actuales de 9. ° a 11. ° grado,

Lo crea o no, ya es hora de elegir nuestros cursos para el próximo año escolar 2020-21. Muchos de nuestros estudiantes actuales de Crockett han enviado sus hojas de elección en línea. Sin embargo, hay varios de nuestros estudiantes que aún no han elegido sus cursos.

Por favor, tenga una conversación con sus hijos para ver si han presentado o no su hoja de elección. Si NO lo han hecho, agradeceríamos su ayuda para garantizar que lo hagan.

Los estudiantes deben completar la hoja de opciones en línea SOLO UNA VEZ

La mayoría de los alumnos de 9º a 11º grado de Crockett utilizarán este formulario para enviar sus hojas de elección. https://form.jotform.com/210138047457150. Nuevamente, envíe este formulario solo si NO lo ha hecho ya.

Nuestra maravillosa página web de Selección de cursos puede ayudar a guiar a su estudiante a elegir sus cursos. Incluso hay algunos videos allí para mostrarles cómo hacerlo. https://sites.google.com/austinisd.org/crockettcourses/home

SOLO aquellos estudiantes que ya están en Early College High School (tomando cursos ACC y trabajando con Ms. Capps / Mr. Quintana en sus planes de cursos) deben completar el formulario de selección de cursos ECHS aquí. https://form.jotform.com/210154363823146

En las próximas semanas, los consejeros de CHS se reunirán con cada estudiante para tener una conversación individual sobre sus cursos elegidos y cómo se alinean con los planes del estudiante para después de la escuela secundaria, mientras se aseguran de que estén en camino de graduarse. Si los estudiantes desean cambiar un curso después de enviar su hoja de elección, pueden informar a su consejero durante estas reuniones que deberían ocurrir durante las próximas cinco semanas.

Take a moment to read a little about what inspired Ms. Reed's educational journey, we are so thankful you choose to teach at Crockett ECHS!

Growing up amongst some of the most influential educators I have known in my own family, I knew from an early age that education and coaching were not just in my future, but a true calling. As a multicultural Black and Hispanic female, I grew up surrounded by culturally- diverse educators. In my work today, I teach, coach, and serve as a formal teacher mentor with a full heart, and an authenticity that my students and mentees benefit from long after they have gone on to pursue their teaching career or next passion in this life.

My focus on weaving social justice into all facets of my influence comes from relatives such as my great-great grandmother who was a professor at Wilberforce College in Ohio. My great-grandfather, who was a principal, teacher, and coach, who has an elementary school named after him in Dallas. He even won the Texas State Basketball championship during the first year of school integration. Stories like these passed down in my family shaped my worldview and my passion for educating a younger generation to make their own mark. My father, however, is my main persuader, and he is an educator and a coach. He continues to inspire me to influence my students and athletes in the nuances of how to conduct themselves righteously and to pursue every possible opportunity. Fellow teachers and coaches I have worked with have also been influential in many ways, confirming that the choice I made to educate is the right one. As I continue to grow and learn from my amazing colleagues, athletes, and students, I will stay true to my own core values, and those of CECHS.

I am proud to be an educator and even more proud to teach at Crockett Early College High School!
