CAST STEM Parent Newsletter
February 3, 2023
Dear CAST STEM Families,
I want to share a big CONGRATULATIONS to Mrs. Isabel Medina for her new position as an assistant principal in a neighboring school district! She has been a vital part of CAST STEM High School since it opened and her knowledge and guidance will be missed. We all wish her the best of luck as she follows her career dreams!
We had our Passport to Success last night for incoming 8th grade students. Our staff and students did a great job helping to recruit our new students and families. We will be having more recruitment events throughout the semester so please continue to let incoming 8th grade families know about our wonderful campus!
Have a great weekend!

Attendance Recovery
Texas law requires students to be in attendance for 90% of the instructional time in order for them to earn credit. We have students who have exceeded this and are now in danger of losing credit for their classes. Students were notified about making up hours after school but please contact the office if you have a question about whether or not your child needs to attend.
Attendance recovery will be every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 4:30-5:30 p.m. Please encourage your students to attend class every day and bring a note in every time they are absent.
