Blanson CTE FACE Newsletter

Blanson CTE High School held its Fall Open House on October 11, 2022. Parents came to the school to meet their child's teachers. Parents were also given the opportunity to fill out the FAFSA form for their children who are seniors. Parents were also able to learn how to create a Home Access Center Account and/or do the Annual Update. Blanson also held a Title I parent meeting, as well as a session on learning about vaping and the dangers it holds.

Parents, if you have not created your own Home Access Center account, please create one as soon as you can. In order to create an account, you must have an email on file. Please visit the AldineIsd webpage and under Parent/Students, please click on Home Access Center to start the registration process. If you need help or more information, please contact Mr. Baumann, librarian, at Blanson CTE High School.

Have you already filled out an Annual Update for your child? Doing the Annual Update allows us to have up-to-date information on your child which helps us better serve them and make them a success. In order to do the Annual Update for your child, you must already have a Home Access Center account. If you have any questions, please contact Mr. Baumann at Blanson CTE.

Did you know that your child can visit the Blanson CTE library even when they are not at school? All your student needs to do is visit the AldineISD webpage and under Parents/Students, click on My Library, then click on Choose Library and then select Blanson CTE High School. They just need their student ID number to log in and search for books, both actual and electronic books. If a student needs to access the online databases Blanson provides, please have them email Mr. Baumann for the access information.

If your child has not yet requested a student laptop from the school to use for this school year, please send them down to the library to see Mr. Baumann for a Student Device Agreement form. All you will need to do is sign the back of the form and then have your child return it to Mr. Baumann in the library. There is no charge for the laptop unless it is returned damaged. A school laptop will enable students to take online tests as well access a lot of Blanson resources they may not be able to on their own devices. Unfortunately, Aldine ISD is not issuing out Wi-Fi hotspots this year.

Is your child into playing video games? Then the Blanson CTE E-Sports Club may be the club for them. E-Sports help students learn teamwork, critical thinking and problem-solving skills among others. Ms. Kiser, Mr. Diaz and Mr. Harber sponsor the E-Sports club. They meet every Monday after school.
