9/14 - No School due to Inclement Weather
9/15-10/15 - Hispanic Heritage Month
 

 
 

From the Clinic's office:

If your student has any of the following health issues, do not send your student to school.

  • Temperature of 100.4 degrees farenheit or higher when taken by mouth;
  • New uncontrolled cough that causes difficulty breathing (or, for students with a chronic allergic/asthmatic cough, a change in their cough from baseline);
  • Diarrhea, vomiting, or abdominal pain; or
  • New onset of severe headache, especially with a fever

Please take your student to your physician and bring an excuse not upon the student's return.
Sending your student to school knowingly having these symptoms will result in them being sent home unexcused.

We ask anyone in the North Forest community who is lab-confirmed to have COVID-19 to please notify our school immediately by contacting
713-967-8699.

  • Health & Safety: We value your student’s safety, so we strongly encourage them and all staff and personnel to wear a mask each day. If student does not have a mask upon arriving, they may ask for one at the office or in their homerooms.
     

Attendance Office:
Absent notes must be turned in within 3 school days of the student's absence.
Exceeding 3 absences per semester puts your student at risk of losing credit. Truancy letters will be sent out next week.

  • Late Arrival: All classes begin at 8:30am everyday, it is expected that students are in their seats and prepared to learn at this time. To ensure that students receive bell-to-bell instruction for each period, please drop off your students no later than 8:10AM every morning. This allows them to grab breakfast if they like and walk to class to be on time. Students who arrive after 8:30AM must check in at the front office and receive a tardy demerit. When students hit 3 tardy demerits, they begin to earn lunch detentions. Please, help us to get students to class on time.

Common Assessments:

CAs are an opportunity to gauge student learning during the school year. This year's CAs will take place from Monday, October 11th through Tuesday, October 12th in classes. It is essential that all students come to school well rested and ready to test with their fully charged laptops on those days. CAs will weigh 5% of each students' overall semester average. All CAs for the fall will be 80 minutes in length.   

Q1 grades close on Friday, October 22nd. Please be sure to make up any missing assignments to ensure that you are on track to earn credit for every course you are enrolled in. 

Class of 2022 Senior Parents - Family Meeting Tuesday 9/14

5-6:30pm

This event is mandatory for all seniors to have 1 parent or guardian attend. If you are unable to attend, please let your child's college counselor know. The event is virtual this year and will be an opportunity to learn what your student is doing in their final year of high school as they prepare to graduate. 

Access the event here: https://tinyurl.com/2022SeniorMeetingNF

 

 

Students must wear their ID's at all times. If a student does not wear their ID they will be given a temporary one and a demerit. 
The price for a new ID, badge holder and lanyard is $5. Badge holders and lanyards can be purchased separately for $1.

Students who are out of dress code will be asked to change into clothes that adhere to the campus dress code policies. If the student does not have alternative clothing options, they will be given an appropriate consequence. In other cases, we may have to contact the student's family to bring clothes. Please review your student's attire before leaving home to avoid the inconvenience of dropping off clothes.

To track your student's bus and to get updates on arrival times, download the FirstView® app. (School code: UKF3) If the FirstView® app is not working and you cannot see the ETA of the bus to your stop, please call the bus yard that corresponds to your campus, and the dispatcher will be able to give you information about your route.
