Irons Jr. High Newsletter
We Are Hawks!
Welcome To Irons
Irons Family,
I want to welcome you to Irons Jr. High. We are so excite to meet all of the Hawks that will make Irons home for the next two years! I know that the transition to Jr. High School can be a time filled with apprehension and anxiety. As a parent myself, I think the change was harder on us than our kids! We know that we will not only have students making the traditional transition to Jr. High, but we will also have many students who will be returning to in-person instruction for the first time in over a year. I want everyone to know we are here to help with the transition to Irons Jr. High. At any time, you can reach out to our counselors with questions or concerns. Our counselors will return to campus in late July.
To ease the transition, Irons will host a schedule pick-up day on Friday, July 30. Schedule pick-up will be a come-and-go event that will enable you to pick up your schedule and tour the building. Our 7th-grade students may attend from 8:00-12:00, and 8th-grade students may attend 1:00-4:00. All students must be up to date on vaccines to receive a schedule.
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 your student in Conroe Independent School District is now available online. Please see more detailed information below.
Just a reminder that the Tdap (Tetanus/Diptheria/Pertussis) and Meningococcal are required BEFORE the first day of school, August 11, 2021, as well as any other immunizations not in compliance with state law. If your child has received these immunizations and you have NOT sent a copy to Irons Jr. High, please send your student's updated record via email to lmarcelissen@conroeisd.net or fax to (936) 709-8599. If you turned in the vaccination record last year will have all need information on file. 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 in your student's school health file.
I will continue with communication throughout the summer. Please watch your email and text for continued updates.
Once again, we look forward to seeing everyone July, 30th at schedule pick up.

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 above, 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.
