Hello Conroe Tiger Families,

As we prepare to wrap up the month of April, we would like to thank you for your continued support throughout the school year. Please continue to talk to your student about finishing the year strong! We will continue that message on our campuses as well. If your student is not sick, then it is important that he or she is at school! During final exams, students must be in attendance (including those students that are exempt from the finals). Even though the end is near, the school year is not over! There is still much work to be completed! You can do this Tigers!

Here are a few updates and reminders:

We have End of Course testing for our English 1 and English 2 classes coming up soon! It is important for our students to remember that the End of Course assessments are a graduation requirement for the state of Texas. Students will need to pass the English 1, English 2, Algebra 1, Biology, and U.S. History End of Course Exams in order to graduate. See below important information about Tuesday, April 25th for all grade levels!

FRESHMEN - On Tuesday, April 25th, our freshmen will be taking the English 1 exam. All freshmen will need to report to CHS9 to take their test. Students should bring a lunch. Due to the length of the test, our students will be eating lunch in their testing rooms. Students who do not bring lunch will be able to get a sack lunch from the cafeteria. The CHS9 campus will be closed for deliveries. We encourage our freshmen to get a good night’s sleep and eat a nutritious breakfast prior to school on Tuesday.

Any old clothes or shoes you don't need, bring it in to fill up the box! The clothes will go to a good cause and support the band! Donate before the end of April.

CISD Summer Reading

While CISD will no longer require summer reading at any level, we still want to encourage students to read during the summer. We know that students and adults that read on a regular basis tend to do better in school, develop a broad vocabulary, improve their creativity, and help to increase concentration. Please click the link to see examples of different types of genres and how to access books this summer. If you have any questions please let us know: contactchs@conroeisd.net

CISD Summer Reading Information

Dress Code

Parents, please continue to remind your student of the school dress code when getting ready in the morning. We are seeing an increase in undergarments, such as bras, being worn as shirts, tops well above the belly button and shirts with inappropriate language or advertising drugs and alcohol. Students are becoming defiant when asked to comply. We appreciate your support with this issue.

Final Exam Exemptions

Please see the Final Exam Exemption Policy that includes the guidelines for the Spring. All students are eligible to exempt exams if they meet the criteria.

Conroe ISD Bond Planning Committee

Be sure to see up to date information from the Bond Planning Committee. This information can be found on the Conroe ISD Website: CISD Bond Planning Committee

Vape Detectors

Vape detectors are active on both campuses! Be advised, campus restrooms are equipped with vape detectors. Students caught in possession of a vape device or under the influence may face severe disciplinary consequences, which may include, ISS/OSS, DAEP and/or expulsion to JJAEP pending an investigation. Please discuss the danger and consequences of vaping with your child. It is extremely concerning the number of students who are caught using or in the possession of devices

(*Liquid THC is considered a felony controlled substance . Students caught with a vape device that tests positive for THC could receive a state felony charge, be arrested on campus, and face mandatory expulsion.)

Counselor News

Be sure to click the Counselors Newsletter below for news from our CHS Counselors. The counselors at CHS serve as a resource to help connect families with community resources regarding ongoing therapy or other mental health needs. Please let us know if we can help you find resources that meet your families' needs. School counselors cannot fulfill the role of a therapist, but we can help students apply interpersonal skills, set and plan for academic goals, and plan for postsecondary options.

We look forward to celebrating our CHS Staff May 8th - May 12th for Teacher Appreciation Week!!! We will be sending information out this week on how you can help us celebrate! Thank you in advance!
