Building a Legacy of Excellence
Thank You For A Wonderful First Week!
Thank you for an AMAZING first week of the 2021-2022 school year. We want to extend a personal greeting to those of you who are new to Tomball ISD and welcome back those who are returning. We were so excited to open up our doors to students this first week as we celebrate all the possibilities a new school and year brings. We just want to thank everyone for all their patience and grace as we work through all the things a new school year brings. We are so glad to be partnering together with you to ensure the best for your child.
From Your Tiger Administration Team
Campus Hours
Lunch Drop Off Procedures
Lunch times are as follows:
A lunch: 11:32-11:57
B lunch: 12:00-12:25
C lunch: 12:30-12:55
Please drop off your child's lunch 15 minutes before their lunchtime begins to ensure that they get their lunch.
Item Drop Off Procedures
***Please keep in mind that a change in schedule is dependent on many factors, such as openings in courses and other courses in the student's current schedule. Unfortunately, not all requests can be accommodated. The counselor will notify the student if his/her schedule changes.***
Drop Off and Pick Up Procedures
Here are just a few reminders.
* Please do not stop at the front of the school to drop off/pick up your child. In order to maximize the number of cars we can fit in the car rider line it is important for you to pull all the way up to the curb that is going back out to the main road.
* In the afternoon the car rider line starts to fill up early. When the cars fill up all the way to the STAR as indicated on the map begin using the Grand Oaks parking lot. This prevents cars from blocking and backing up Cypress Rosehill.
* Fill up the first row in the Grand Oaks parking lot, once that is filed proceed to the next row, then the next etc.
* As a reminder, leave the entrances to the Grand Oaks parking lots open because there are times when elementary parents are trying to get to their school to check out a student early or drop something off.
IMPORTANT DRESS CODE REMINDERS
Please see this important message from Tomball ISD about hair/hair color...
Dress and Grooming (All Grade Levels) per Student Handbook:
“Hair should be clean and neatly groomed. It should not cover the eyes or be colored or styled in any way that is distracting to the learning environment.”
TISD interprets this statement as: hair must be a natural color. Because the issue of hair color has become a distraction on some campuses, we want to be consistent in our practice. We believe maintaining a natural hair color will help minimize distractions of this nature.
Here is a list of some dress code violations we have seen this week
* shorts, dresses, and skirts that are shorter than mid-thigh. Fingertip length is often a good reference for mid-thigh. Usually, if the shorts, skirts, or dresses are at finger tip length they will be long enough.
* earrings on boys
* shirts that do not cover the entire midriff
* facial hair
* hair longer than the shirt collar on boys and hair covering the eyes.
Students who are out of dress code will be given the opportunity to correct the violation whether they have an extra change of clothes or parents bring up clothes. Repeat offenders will receive consequences for dress code violations.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON CELL PHONES, AIRPODS/EARBUDS, AND HEADPHONES
*Cell phones shall not be used between class periods.
*Cell phones may be used before and after school and during lunch, as long as students follow TISD acceptable use guidelines
If a student uses a telecommunications device in a manner that violates the guidelines established in the TISD Digital Resources Acceptable Use and Internet Safety Policy or violates the cell phone policy, the device will be confiscated. The first time a phone is confiscated it is a warning and the student may pick up their phone at their designed AP Office. If a student's device gets confiscated a second time the parent will have to pick up the confiscated telecommunications device from the front office for a fee of $15
Please refer to page 52 in the Tomball ISD Student Handbook to read more on the cell phone policy and TISD acceptable use guidelines.
Students may wear AirPods/earbuds and headphones before/after school, lunch, and for instructional purposes in the classroom with teacher directives. They are not to be worn in the hall during passing periods due to safety concerns. If there was ever a safety issue the student may not be able to hear directives/instructions.
