4 Year Planning Update

This week, your students were given instructions on how to update and submit their 4 Year Plan for approval. You can view the video here. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1DVDgeJieOtXLrG3ZwAyX56ZG3DL81w2O/view The plan must be submitted before their individual counselor meeting that will take place between January 22 and March 7.

Naviance Presentation

The “Naviance 4 Year Plans and Pathways” presentation by Mrs. Tabor, you can view it here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RBRkRkg9cA4. Naviance codes were emailed to parents on Friday, November 1, 2024. If you did not receive your code or cannot log in, please email Mrs. Tabor at ktabor@conroeisd.net.

If you have two children at TWHS, those accounts can be linked. Please email Mrs. Tabor to make the request. If you have a student at McCullough and one at TWHS, those accounts CANNOT be linked until both students are at TWHS.

In the presentation, parents were given the opportunity to ask questions. Here are the FAQs. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1kBrWVQGLEh74r8lXgy3sFzqtmUkLWRs4xMWhT__Hzd0/edit?tab=t.0

Dual Credit Important Information

Students interested in taking a dual credit course must have a qualifying SAT, ACT, or TSIA2 placement test score. The qualifying score chart can be found here. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1PRb8Ptvg5Srx8XRZ8J3vdVK6gOgSq3uNp0PQNqga76M/edit?tab=t.0 Students who already have a qualifying score on file, whether it’s an SAT, ACT, or TSIA2 test they took last year, are NOT required to re-test. Students can sign up to take the SAT or ACT test through www.collegeboard.org and www.act.org. The PSAT test is no longer an acceptable qualifying test.

For students not wanting to take the SAT or ACT test, they have the option to take the TSIA2 placement test. The Texas Success Initiative (TSIA2) is a college readiness test. The test includes reading, writing, and math. When students take the TSIA2 test, their scores are good for 5 years! In order for students to take the TSIA2 test, they need to create an Accuplacer account as well as complete a pre-assessment activity prior to the testing day. This test will be given during the week of March 24th. Instructions for creating your Accuplacer account and pre-assessment activity can be found here. https://sites.google.com/conroeisd.net/twhs-dual-credit/dc-steps/step-3-qualifying-test-scores/tsia-2-testing Students are not required to take the entire test, however, it is encouraged in case they choose to do another dual credit course at a later date.

SIGN UP FOR THE TSIA2 IN MARCH BY CLICKING HERE: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeyVV6Xm1q_rkY9fl4N9G-nsKXbZMd6Hha88hunqVKSkJmScA/viewform or Scan the QR Code.

The deadline to complete all of the dual credit steps and submit DC paperwork and qualifying test scores is Friday, April 11th, 2025. Students are encouraged to sign up now for whichever test they choose. A qualifying score will help them complete the remaining dual credit steps. Students can begin completing the dual credit steps https://sites.google.com/conroeisd.net/twhs-dual-credit/dc-steps on January 6th, 2025, and this can be done before the student meeting with their counselor.

During the initial course request meetings with counselors, there is ample time to sign up for a dual credit course. However, the paperwork should be submitted completely to ensure placement in the courses. We only have a certain number of seats available for several of the dual credit classes, and they are assigned on a first come, first served basis.

SAT School Day

The School Day SAT will be held in April, 2025. Current Juniors and Seniors can sign up to take it. Sign ups will open on February 1, 2025.

PARENT ACCESS CENTER TRANSITION TO HOME ACCESS CENTER: Home Access Center (HAC) will go live on January 21 and operate alongside the Parent Access Center (PAC) until Spring Break. (PAC will be decommissioned within the two weeks after March 17). During this transition, parents will have access to both applications. As HAC launches, PAC will notify users that HAC is now online and that student information in HAC will be updated in real-time. To prepare for HAC's replacement of PAC, documentation for parents and staff will be available in the Knowledge Base (https://kb.conroeisd.net) by January 18.

SCHOOL CASH ONLINE: Attention Parents: Please be sure to check your child's School Cash Online account frequently. The website is www.conroeisd.schoolcashonline.com. Fees are added throughout the year for various activities. If you have any questions or concerns regarding the fees charged to your child, please contact the classroom teacher or club sponsor. Failure to pay fees listed as "required" or "overdue" may result in a student not being permitted to participate in some extracurricular activities. If you need assistance logging in to School Cash Online or adding and viewing your child's account, please visit schoolcashonline.com/Home/Support and view the resources available to help.

ABSENT REPORTING APP: In an effort to make things easier for our families, CISD is launching an app to help you report your student's absences to our school when they are out. Documentation such as doctor's notes will still need to be submitted to our campus attendance office, but we are excited about the convenience of this new app. You will access it through the Parent Portal. The directions are included in the link. https://kb.conroeisd.net/kb/absence-reporting-system-app-parent-directions
