Notes from the Nurse about Vaccinations and Waivers
It is not too soon to start thinking ahead to next school year! All 6th graders must receive 2 vaccinations before beginning 7th grade - Tdap and MCV (meningitis). Students can get these as early as age 11, so your child may have already gotten them at his/her last checkup. If so, please make sure that the nurse's office has a record of these or any other recent immunization records. Doctor's schedules book up quickly for well-child visits, especially during the summer, so you may want to call now and make your child an appointment if needed. Students with immunization waivers: Please make sure they are current. Affidavits of Exemption for immunizations are valid for 2 years. If yours is going to expire, or if you would like to apply for one through the state, please do so in plenty of time to receive it before registration. Waivers must be notarized and the original document in the nurse's office before the start of school.

Attendance Reminders
Attendance is taken every period at the Jr. High. Any student arriving late or leaving early will be marked absent for the periods that he/she missed. All absences, full or partial days, require documentation to be excused. If a student misses more than 20 minutes of a class without valid documentation, the student will be considered absent for this purpose.
When a student is absent and returns to school, he/she MUST bring a note signed by the parent explaining the reason for the absence or a note from a doctor. Any absence of more than 5 consecutive days for illness will require a statement from a doctor verifying the illness. Parent notes must be turned in within 3 days of the absence.
*Any documentation needing to be turned in can be done so through the reception desk or attendance office, or emailed directly to Mrs. Magallanes at emagallanes@hisd.com.
The Texas Education Agency states that a student must attend a class 90% of the time it is offered to earn credit for that class. Students with less than 90% attendance will not earn credit and cannot be promoted to the next grade level. Both excused and unexcused absences count toward time missed in a class. The state will allow us to place a student in the next grade level if that student has completed a principal approved plan to recover attendance. You will be notified if your student falls below 90% attendance and requires credit recovery. Credit recovery classes will be scheduled starting January 14th.
