Hello Conroe Tiger Family,

Let’s finish up this third marking period with a great week! Please be proactive looking at both Student and Parent Access Centers and clear up any missing grades. The end of this third marking period is an opportunity to gain or lose eligibility. Spring Break is Monday, March 13 - Friday, March 17. There is a Student Holiday on Monday, March 20 so our Tigers will return on March 21. Here are a few updates and important reminders.

Tuesday, March 7 and Wednesday, March 8

We will be on our block schedule on Tuesday, March 7th and Wednesday, March 8th. For our students that are new to CHS, on Tuesday - March 7th, we will only attend periods 1,3,5, and 7. On Wednesday, March 8th, we will attend periods 2,4,5 and 6. Our school hours remain the same. Please pay attention if your freshman begins or ends his or her day at CHS Main. All freshmen will begin and end their day at CHS9 on March 9th. Our morning drop off line will be longer and March 9th. Please make arrangements to leave earlier.

Student Parking

Area businesses continue to call about students parking in their parking lots and some have started towing. Please do not allow your student to drive if they don't have a valid driver's license. If your student is a junior or a senior with a valid drivers license they need to apply for a CHS Parking Tag. All other students should ride the bus and be a car rider. Following the rules is a lot cheaper than a towing fee.

Dress Code

Parents, we appreciate you reminding 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 and tops well above the belly button. 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.

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.

(*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.
