Kerr families,

It's hard to believe it, but one quarter of the year is complete. Activities are certainly in full swing on campus with fine arts productions, homecoming festivities, and club meetings most days after school. We hope that everyone finds an event to attend and experience some of the amazing talent and spirit that we have on campus.

As always, please reach out if you need any assistance or have any questions.

Mr. Lewis and Ms. Tones

The first bell of the school day is at 7:10 and all students should be in their center by 7:15. We highly encourage entering and exiting the Kerr parking lot using the Beechnut entrance in the mornings to avoid the high traffic congestion on Howell Sugarland.

Students that need to leave during the school day must be signed out in the front office and exit through the front doors of the building. All other entrances to the building are locked during the school day.

IDs must be worn by everyone on campus at all times and all visitors must report to the front office to receive a visitor's badge before visiting areas of the building.

Term 1 grades have been transcribed and are now viewable in your Home Access account. A final grade of 70 or higher is needed to earn credit in a course. If students were successful in all of their classes this term they have now earned a total of 2 credits toward graduation.

Teacher names are included on the report card and you are encouraged to reach out to them directly if you have any questions about your student's progress in their courses or you can contact your student's advisor and they will connect you with the right person.

All students and parents have a Home Access account where all student records can be accessed. The Home Access Center is available online or as an app. If you need assistance with your Home Access account, call the front office at 281-983-8484 and someone will assist you.
