The deadline to have steps 1-4 completed is April 2, 2026. Please refer to the Dual Credit website for additional information. The last and final step, paying, will not occur until July/August. I will send out another email with payment instructions once students have been enrolled in their dual credit courses for the fall by LoneStar College. This typically happens at the end of July.

Here are some important dates:

• April 2nd: Dual credit paperwork deadline- all test scores should be received and completed paperwork turned in by this date
• April 13th: Paper verifications send home with completed course requests
• April 17th: Verifications due and course change requests due

Students have met with their counselor, and course requests for the 26-27 school year were selected. You can view those by following these instructions:

As we look ahead to the end of the semester, we want to share our policy regarding final exam attendance to help you plan accordingly. Final exams are scheduled for May 19-22. Please note that students are not permitted to take final exams early. If a student is unable to attend their scheduled exam due to illness or extenuating circumstances, the following process will apply:

• Reporting Absences: Your student's teacher will report any absences during final exams. Please notify the teacher if you know of a circumstance where you will not be in attendance. This helps us schedule your make up session for late May or June.
• Gradebook Updates: If an exam is missed, a "0" will be entered. This will significantly impact semester averages until the exam is completed and graded. If the exam is not completed, the "0" will remain. It is the family's responsibility to schedule it once the information is sent.
• Exemptions: To maintain exemption status, students must be present in class on the day of the exam. If a student is exempt but absent, a "0" will still be entered until the requirement is met over the summer. If the exam is not completed, the "0" will remain. It is the family's responsibility to schedule it once the information is sent.
• Completion Timeline: All make-up exams must be completed by mid-June. Once graded, updates will be reflected in the Home Access Center as soon as possible.

Our annual Physical Day will take place on April 8th from 8:00 AM to 2:30 PM in Gym 1. The cost is $25, and board-certified medical professionals from Methodist will be on site to provide the physicals. We will accept payment in cash, check, or debit/credit card via School Cash Online.

Please have your athlete pick up a physical form from the training room or athletic office, or you may print one from the athletic website at home. A parent or guardian will need to complete the medical history section and sign the bottom of the front page before April 8th.

On the day of the event, please make sure your athlete brings their completed form along with a receipt of payment to present at check-in.

Thank you for your help in making this process smooth and efficient for everyone!

TWHS offers a multitude of languages, including Japanese, German, French, and Chinese. As students decide which language to choose, there are a few things to keep in mind. Which language will make them stand out to future employers? Please see our monthly newsletter or more information about who we are and what our languages offer.

Vaccines

If your student has received any vaccines this school year, feel free to send a copy or screenshot to the clinic at school so that we can update the record on file. You can also email it to aransley@conroeisd.net for the Senior Campus, or jvanroekel@conroeisd.net for the Ninth Grade Campus.

Immunization Records

If you have a graduating senior and need a copy of their vaccine record, or are moving over the summer, please be sure to request records to be picked up by your student or emailed to you by May 22nd. We are not able to fulfill requests made during the summer, and we do not submit vaccine records to schools. Colleges and universities require an additional dose of the Meningitis (MCV4) vaccine that is received on or after the 16th birthday, and you may want to also discuss the optional Meningitis B vaccine with your child's doctor. That is a newer vaccine that is available to children ages 16-18, and it protects against an additional strain of the meningococcal bacteria.

School Orders for the 2026-2027 School Year

As you begin to schedule summer doctor's appointments or physicals, please be sure to have your child's doctor renew their school orders for the 2026-2027 school year. We do require new orders each year for chronic conditions that could possibly require management or treatment at school, such as:

● Asthma

● Severe food or environmental allergies

● Seizures

● Diabetes

● Migraines

If your child participates in an activity or sport on campus that requires a physical and also has a chronic condition, please submit a copy of doctor’s orders for the 2026-2027 school year with their physical form, and also have them turn in a copy of those orders to the clinic.

You can find blank copies of needed medical forms by visiting the TWHS Clinic website at https://sites.google.com/conroeisd.net/twhsclinicinformation/home

All seniors must have a clear library record in order to pick up Prom tickets. This means no overdue library books or library/print fines. You can look up your library account through the Destiny Discover App on your SSO.

April STAAR and SAT testing days are fast approaching! Please be advised that in order to minimize disruption during ​testing, if your student needs an early release from school prior to 2:00p.m., please send a signed note with them in the morning, stating the check-out time and the reason for leaving. We will exchange that note with an early release pass.

We appreciate your efforts in planning ahead. If you have any questions, please contact the Attendance Office.

Campus Accountability Reports

REGISTRAR:

If your student is not returning for the Spring semester, please email Sidney Vance at svance@conroeisd.net for 10-12 graders and Carolyn Czubinski at cczubinski@conroeisd.net for 9th graders. Withdrawal procedures can be found at this link: https://sites.google.com/conroeisd.net/twhs-registration/withdrawals-transfers

If you need to update your address, please email a copy of your utility bill or lease agreement, along with a photo ID to svance@conroeisd.net. Please check your Home Access Center to verify your address is correct. If you do not have access to the Parent Portal, please email svance@conroeisd.net. Include information: Student ID, Student Name, and Student Grade.

SCHOOL CASH ONLINE: 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.

We would like to inform you that the Welcome Center, led by Iytzia Cárdenas, has now been relocated to the Jett Center. However, she continues to visit our campus some days a week, mainly when she has scheduled appointments with families.

🧭 Her Mission: Guiding Families Through a New educational System

If you come across a family who may benefit from a one-on-one meeting with Iytzia to better understand and navigate the school system, please don’t hesitate to refer to them.

Iytzia is committed to:

• Providing clear guidance and support

• Helping families gradually access the information they need

• Ensuring they do not feel overwhelmed or lost

🌍 More Than Just a Language Barrier

We often assume the challenge is only about learning a new language—but in reality, it’s much deeper.

Families arriving from other countries experience:

• Culture shock.

• Grief and loss from leaving their home country, family , friends , etc.

• A complete shift in norms and expectations.

All of this can create confusion and uncertainty as they try to adjust. That’s where cultural and emotional support becomes essential.

👩‍🏫 Iytzia’s Ongoing Impact

With over 12 years of experience on this campus, Iytzia has played a key role in building strong connections with our families. Due to the growing importance of her work, her role has now been centralized, and she now serves all district schools through the Jett Center.

She identifies newly arrived families and reaches out directly—or sometimes is referred by families like you.

📌 How You Can Help

If you notice a student or family who seems to be struggling with adjustment, please:

• Reach out to Iytzia ( 281-220-9527) icardenas@conroeisd.net

• Share any relevant information.

• Encourage families to connect with her.

Even a small gesture can make a huge difference in helping families feel seen, understood, and supported.

Thank you for being a vital part of this support network. Together, we can continue creating a welcoming and inclusive community environment for everyone.
