Endeavor Update

Although it was short, we made it through the first week! The students were outstanding! Students who are assigned to online classes have been busy and asking for quizzes and tests to be unlocked. This means they're getting right into it!

If you have any questions concerning your child's schedule, please contact our counselor Mrs. Salinas at elisabeth.salinas@cvisd.org.

What a great start to the new school year! The Endeavor High School staff and I have prepared for this school year. The hard work put in by everyone this summer only means that there are high expectations for great success. Over this past summer, I had the privilege to meet with so many new students and parents that have joined our Endeavor family. I pray that your child will enjoy learning and growing at Endeavor.

For our new parents and students, I will send a weekly update concerning important events and activities every Friday. I will also spotlight students and staff that are making a positive impact. It is my desire that our student's families become an integral part of the Endeavor experience. Be on the lookout for volunteer opportunities throughout the year posted in the weekly newsletter.

If you have any questions, please contact me, our counselor, or our teachers. We may not be able to talk to you right away, but we will respond.

When life gets distressing, stop stressing; be a blessing! You’ve got this! Let's have an amazing school year.

For the safety of all, only clear and mesh backpacks will be allowed on campus. No exceptions.

Note that our Friday bell schedule is unique. To better serve our Endeavor students, we have an activity period that will include special presentations, guest speakers, student games, and/or competitions, and senior-required activities (FAFSA completion, CPR training, college application enrollment assistance, TSI, etc.).

Students who are either late arrival or early out will need to adjust their drop-off and pick-up schedule for Fridays.

Please review the schedule below.

It is the mission of the Channelview Independent School District to enhance the intellectual, social, emotional, and physical growth of all students in order to prepare them to become productive, responsible, and successful members of our society.

While we strive each day to serve our students, we also realize that our top priority must be the safety of these students, as well as our staff. In fact, our campus engages in activities on a regular basis to prepare students and teachers to react to emergency situations.

Below are two informative posters that detail some key terms relating to safety procedures in place at Endeavor High School. Our staff and students have trained annually on these procedures, and drills are practiced monthly and semi-annually depending on the type of drill. Hold, Lockdown, Secure, Evacuate, and Shelter are examples of procedures that are taught and practiced by students and staff throughout each year. In this way, we strive to ensure all students and staff members are educated and prepared to react to situations such as fires, weather emergencies, and even active shooters on campus.

In the event of an emergency, the actions and appropriate directions listed below will be called on the PA system. Please take a moment to review these actions with your child to reinforce these directions.

We sincerely hope this information helps to provide a better understanding of the safety procedures in place at Endeavor High School.

Today's activity period included:

• Students being aware of their role and responsibilities in school emergencies
• ID photos
• Recreational games

If your student did not get their ID photo today, they will have an opportunity on Monday and Tuesday. IDs are required for students to receive their Chromebook next week. Because Endeavor's population is small, student IDs are not required to be worn during school hours.

Students who have a valid Texas driver's license and proof of liability on their vehicle may drive to school and park in the row closest to Sheldon Road. Students will receive a parking permit at no cost upon presentation of the needed information. Students who drive to school without a license run the risk of receiving a citation from our campus Constable and will not be allowed to drive off of the campus with their vehicle. Students who possess only a driving permit may not drive a vehicle to school.

What is 1:1?

One-to-One (1:1) is a Channelview ISD initiative where each student in 6th through 12th grade will be assigned a Chromebook to take home. The 1:1 program provides exciting learning opportunities that incorporate the use of technology in the classroom and at home.

Information will be relayed to parents next week on how students will receive their Chromebook. Chromebooks will be distributed on Friday, August 25.
