Please come out and meet your child's teacher and counselor during Open House scheduled for Tuesday, August 26, 2025 @ 5:30 pm.

If your student needs to recover a credit from a course they failed, Night School registration is now open for semester 2 for several courses. Registration dates are August 25- August 29 at Progressive High School. Please see your alpha split counselor for details.

The schedule change request window has closed. The deadline to complete the forms for schedule changes closed on Friday, August 15, 2025. The only changes that will be made at this time are in cases where an error has occurred, when a student is missing a graduation -required course for the current or a previous year, or athletic approvals.

CCMR stands for College, Career, and Military Readiness and is a Texas public school initiative that measures and prepares high school students for post-graduation success in college, a career, or the military, using metrics like dual credit, industry certifications, and military enlistment to qualify for funding bonuses. Students meet CCMR standards by achieving specific criteria, and schools track this progress to receive bonus funding based on their graduates' readiness. Please see attached flyer to determine your child's status and feel free to contact our CCRA, (College Career Readiness Advisor) Jacquelyn.Hidalgo@fortbendisd.gov for questions.

Please be aware that over the next several weeks, counselors may need to adjust class schedules to balance class sizes that are either too large or too small. As a result, your child's schedule may change. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to ensure the best learning environment for all students.
