Hello Avalos P-TECH Families,

Fall is in the air, and we're so excited for all the great things happening on campus! As we get ready for the end of the first nine-week quarter, we want to remind you that the third progress report will be available soon and available for you to review in the HAC account.

We want to make sure you have the chance to talk directly with your student's teachers about their progress. We encourage you to schedule a parent-teacher conference during our conference window from October 20 to October 31.

We're also looking forward to celebrating our very own "Homecoming Week" the week of October 20th! This special week will be full of fun activities for students and staff. And, of course, our Fall Fest is fast approaching, with even more fun to come.

We're so proud to see our students staying after school for extra help and getting involved in clubs on Wednesdays and Thursdays. We encourage all of our students to get connected and get the support they need to succeed.

We're so thankful for our partnership with you and the entire community!

Dr. Cierra B. Nickerson, Principal

As of August 2025, only clear or mesh backpacks are allowed on campus and at events for all grade levels. Let's work together to keep our schools safe and secure!

• Students in K-12 must attend class for 90% of the time in order to receive credit or a final grade. The 90% rule applies to all absences, including excused absences.
• 20+ minutes Late = ABSENCE
• 3 Tardies = 1 ABSENCE (3 ABSENCES = Chronic Tardiness)
• Chronic Tardiness results in an intervention plan [Administration + Teachers + Parents + Student]
• Students arriving late to school are subject to “Come Late-Stay Late” policy

If you’re applying to Texas A&M University, University of Houston, or The University of Texas at Austin for engineering, please reach out to the College Success Advisor as soon as possible. Your application must be submitted by October 3rd to ensure you receive access to your applicant portal before the deadline.
