A Message from your Principal
Happy Holiday Season!
We have two weeks left in the first semester and Second Nine weeks. Progress report grades will be available in your Home Access Center Monday, December 7th (usually at 4pm). This should give families and students an idea of where they are as we rush to the end of the semester on December 18th. Please reach out to your student's teachers on any academic questions so students can show their mastery of the required standards for this first semester. Teachers will work with students.
8th grade families need to talk about the choices for High School (yes it is that time!). Magnet High Schools in NISD have now opened their applications through January 18, 2021. Our counselor, Mr. Vargas, has been sharing information about these choices and students have completed an interest inventory about their career ideas. Many of the Magnet High Schools are on Comprehensive High School Campuses, which give students access to the High School experience. Please see the application link below - there is not an essay this year.
Our counselors from Taft and Warren High School (our two feeder campuses) will be coming to campus to talk with our 8th graders about their course choice soon.
If you have a current 5th grader who will be coming to Zachry for the fall of 2021-2022, Please click here for the newsletter specifically for the Academic and Elective night on December 7th where course choices will be discussed.
Families of current 6th and 7th graders will be getting information in January about their course choices for next school year in both academics and electives. The planning for the 2021-2022 school year is underway!
This is always a time of cheer but can also be a time of stress especially in this time of COVID19. Please take care of yourselves and our students. Let us know if we can assist in anyway! We have both our campus counselors and Lalita Fuller, our Community in Schools Liason as on going supports. Please call our campus main number to talk with them about your needs.
