    What is Courage?
    Courage is the ability and strength to face something that may be difficult or challenging.  Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather perseverance in the presence of fear and the willingness to stand up for what is right or try something new even though it may be uncomfortable or uncertain. 
     
    Why focus on Courage?
    • Courage encourages engagement. Courage helps students raise their hand, participate, try new things, and voice their opinions.  
    • Courage builds self-confidence. Courage is the choice to act. By doing something, students increase their belief in themselves and their ability to do difficult or challenging things. 
    • Courage can help reframe a negative. When something does not go as planned or a student gets upset about a mistake or failure, courage can help reframe the event in a positive light.

    • Encourage discussion and debate. Foster curiosity and empower students to formulate ideas and engage in respectful discourse and conversations.
    • Celebrate failures. Create opportunities to reduce fear of failure and celebrate when students try something new, even if they are not successful the first time.

    HHS State & Federal Report Card

    I am writing to inform you that two different reports for our campus have been posted on the district’s website:

    Report Link to District’s Website:
    2021-2022 School Report Card (SRC) https://bit.ly/HISD-HHS-21-22-SchReportCard
    2021-2022 Federal Report Card (FRC) https://bit.ly/HISD-HHS-21-22-FedReportCard

    Summary of School Report Card (SRC)
    The SRC is a report required by Section 39.305 of the Texas Education Code and is prepared each year by the Texas Education Agency (TEA) for each campus in the state. There is no district or state level SRC. It is a campus-only report.
    The SRC is intended to give a broad view of campus performance by combining the following information:
    · the campus’s accountability rating
    · data from the campus’s Texas Academic Performance Report (TAPR), and
    · financial information.

    Summary of Federal Report Card (FRC)
    The FRC is a report required under the federal Every Student Succeeds Act of 2015 (ESSA). Each year, TEA
    prepares an FRC for the State as well as each district and campus in the State. FRCs for the State, the
    district, and each of the district’s campuses are now available at the link provided above.

    The information contained in the SRC is described in more detail in a document entitled 2021-2022 School Report Card Definitions – which is also posted and available at the link provided above.
    The SRC for our school may or may not have all the information described because the information presented depends on whether the school is an elementary, middle, or high school.

    If you have any questions concerning the SRC or the FRC, or if you would like a printed copy of either the SRC or the FRC (or the corresponding explanatory documents), please contact the campus at 936-435-6100.

    Thank you for your continued support of HHS!

    *CKH Reminders-
    What is Kindness?
    Kindness is the ability and willingness to express care and compassion for others. Kindness is a choice to use our time, talent, and resources to better the lives of others and the world through genuine acts of love, compassion, generosity, and service.
     
    Why focus on Kindness?
    • Kindness boosts positive emotions. Acts of kindness create neural pathways that enhance feelings of well-being and the natural flow of feel-good endorphins and neurotransmitters. 
    • Kindness is self-replicating. When we perform an act of kindness, it is likely to encourage others to act in a similar way.
    • Kindness reduces stress and anxiety. Kindness promotes positive relationships with other people. Anything that helps you to build bonds with other people helps decrease anxiety.
     
    Kindness in Action:
    • Celebrate small things. Start each day with Good Things as a class. Publicly and privately affirm kind and thoughtful actions and attitudes.
    • Create opportunities for students to regularly affirm each other. Once a week, dedicate time for students to write notes of affirmation to classmates and school staff members. 
    • Model Kindness. Be mindful of body language, tone, and mindset. Kindness is learned by example!

    01/03/2023

    HHS Parents/Guardians, 
    I hope you had a great break and a Happy New Year! We are excited to have you back on campus! Just a few updates for this semester:
     
    *Spring 2023 Final Exam Exemptions-(see attached) Be sure to review the eligibility criteria for Spring 2023 Final Exam Exemptions. You will see that (3) Tardies equals ONE absence for exemption purposes. Every student is eligible for at least ONE exemption. ONLY extenuating circumstances will be considered. Please review the attached document. Forms will be announced to pick up at a later date. 
     
    *Absences/Tardies-Students need to be in class at least 90% of the time in order to receive credit for your classes. Be sure that you are in class and IF you are in the hallway, you need to have a pass. 
     
    *Spring End of Course Testing Dates:
         -English 1-April 18th
         -English 2-April 20th
         -US History-May 3rd
         -Biology-May 4th
         -Algebra I-May 9th
     
    *Student Data Trackers-(see attached) IF you or your student is in an End of Course tested course (English I, English II, Biology, US History, Algebra I) then they have begun completing these forms for their teacher. I wanted to share a copy in order for you to see how students are reflecting on their learning from the assessments they are taking in these classes. Our teacher teams are working very hard to improve our instruction and improve our academics and this has shown teachers where students are showing deficiencies or showing where they are mastering the content. Additionally, this gives the teachers more insight as to "WHY" the student chose a particular answer so that this reason can be addressed in their instruction. This is just a general copy as they are specific to the aforementioned EOC course. 
     
    *Secondary Grading Guidelines-(see attached) As we begin the spring semester, you will need to ensure that you are completing work and that you turn work in a timely manner, according to the Secondary Grading Guidelines. 
     
    *National/State Scholarship Information from Texas Comptroller's office-(see link) For the most up-to-date national/state scholarships and college/university information see this link: https://comptroller.texas.gov/programs/education/msp/
     
    *Local Scholarships-(see link on HISD website) Be sure to check the website to get updates and also with your Counselor and the College/Career Counselor, Dawn Shaw-https://www.huntsville-isd.org/Page/773

    *Updated campus maps-(see attached) Please review the attached updated parking maps for students/staff/visitors. If you have any questions, please reach out to us. 
     
    *CKH January Theme-“Honor YOU, Honor ME”(Respect)-We will be working on this theme for the month of January with our students and staff
    What is Respect?
    Respect is the willingness and ability to act professionally and thoughtfully with ourselves and others. Leaders can deal respectfully with opposition and provide space for both dignity and differences to coexist. 
     
    Why focus on Respect?
    • Respect contributes to a positive culture. People feel safe, supported, and engaged in the context of thoughtful social, emotional, civic, and intellectual interactions.
    • Respect decreases conflict. Respect helps us, and others, to be able to express ourselves without fear of being judged, humiliated, or discriminated against.
    • Respect encourages empathy. Respect helps us to understand each other and put ourselves in someone else shoes.

    *Classes resume on Thursday, January 5th. 

    Thank you for your continued support of HHS!

    What is Responsibility?
    Responsibility is the willingness and ability to take ownership of our thoughts, words, and actions. We have a responsibility to our school, family, and community to be accountable for our choices and how they impact ourselves and others.  
     
    Why focus on Responsibility?
    • Responsibility teaches resilience. It is not possible to persevere and achieve our dreams without taking personal responsibility seriously.
    • Responsibility empowers us to own our actions. There is great power in being able to make conscious, calculated choices to reach goals and manage those things in our control. 
    • Responsibility teaches us to manage our time and resources. Responsibly organizing and prioritizing needs is an executive function of the brain that improves with practice.

    • HHS Parents/Guardians, 

      *Importance of Attending classes-HHS students are subject to being in attendance for ALL their classes at least 90% of the time to be physically in the classroom in order to receive credit for the class. If a student is marked absent it is because one of two things has occurred: 1) they are absent for the day, 2) a student is more than 10 minutes late for the class. IF a student is participating in an extra-curricular activity, then their coach/sponsor will communicate the roster of students that attended that event, then their attendance will be corrected. 

      *3rd Six Weeks-November 18th is the deadline to turn in grades for Progress Reports. Students will receive their progress report the week we return from Thanksgiving Break. 

      *Chromebooks-it is imperative that students come to school with their chromebooks fully charged. We are in a new testing season that will require EVERY student to test online. Therefore, students will need their chromebooks. If you have more than one chromebook at home, then we need it returned ASAP as students are ONLY to be issued one chromebook. 

      *Thanksgiving Break-November 21st-25th

      *November 16th-ASVAB Test

    HHS Students, 

     
    *2nd Six Weeks Report card will go out Thursday, November 3rd
     
    *CKH November Theme-“Better Together”(Teamwork)-
    What is Teamwork?
    Teamwork is the ability to work in unity with others towards a common goal. For us to learn how to become team players, it is important that we learn to listen, encourage our peers, and allow and invite others to contribute their talents and skills.
     
    Why focus on Teamwork?
    • Teamwork improves communication: Teamwork helps us improves our verbal and non-verbal communication skills, conveying that we care and a relevant message. 
    • Teamwork builds interpersonal awareness: Growing a great team requires us to first build strong relationships through better understanding ourselves and others.
    • Teamwork celebrates diversity. Teamwork thrives from diverse ideas that come from a mixture of different genders, cultures, expertise, experience, and problem-solving approaches. 
    Teamwork in Action:
    • Call them a team, not a class or group. A group consists of many different people. A team, however, has a common purpose and a shared responsibility for success. 
    • Require teams to set expectations for and manage their own behavior. Do not tell teams what type of behavior is expected -- let them decide for themselves with a Social Contract. 
    • Teach and encourage affirmations. Giving affirmations helps connect the team and builds trust, promotes engagement, and boosts a positive culture.
     
    *Tutorials-I will continue sending out to parents and students the current tutorial list that is posted on the campus webpage https://www.huntsville-isd.org/domain/3412

    Self-Direction is the ability and learned skill to cast a vision of future goals and then take intentional steps toward who, where, and what we want to be.
