Socioeconomic Forms - Parents, we need your help. Please complete the socioeconomic form and turn it in. It is important that all families, regardless of economic status, submit the form.
The form determines our Title 1 status. We want to continue to be considered a Title 1 school because the designation provides federal dollars that help us pay for tutorials, cover the cost of college applications for eligible students, and much more. So far, only 40 forms have been returned.
A copy of the form has been sent to your email. Please fill it out today and ask your child to drop it in the main office tomorrow as they enter the building. Your help is greatly appreciated.
Attendance – The state of Texas Compulsory Attendance rules state students who are at least six years of age, or who have been previously enrolled in first grade, and who have not yet reached their 19th birthday shall attend school for the entire period the program is offered, unless exempted.
If the student is absent ten or more days or parts of days within a six-month period in the same school year, the student’s parent is subject to prosecution under Education Code 25.093, and the student is subject to referral to a truancy court for truant conduct under Family Code 65.003(a).
At DeBakey HSHP, our goal is to make sure our students attend school on-time every day. We are preparing them to pursue college degrees that lead to careers in Health Science. When students are absent, the workload is compounded, causing stress and anxiety.
Students should be seated in their classrooms by 7:55 am daily. Please make sure students attend school each day.
If an absence due to illness is unavoidable, please email Mrs. Perez, pperez6@houstonisd.org so that she can accurately track your child’s attendance.
HISD Connect Access Code - The students received a parent letter that included the parent’s access code and password to set up an HISD Connect account. Your HISD Account will allow you to follow your child’s progress throughout the school year. Please ask your child for the form and sign up for your account today.
