Falcon Facts
A Weekly Newsletter for HCCPHS Falcon Families
Proud to be a Falcon!
This week was full of activity and our Falcons were working hard in and out of the classroom. I can't tell you how proud I am to be a Falcon! This week was nothing short of awesome with celebrating our UIL District Champions, a FRC Robotics Team that qualified for Worlds as a rookie team, lots of Falcons on the Honor Roll in the 3rd quarter, great growth for many of our juniors with great SAT scores, welcoming our new incoming freshman with interview nights, kicking off our Falcon Hour process and PROM! We really have an awesome staff and student body and for that and for all the things on every other day, I am proud to be a FALCON!!
Speaking of Falcon Hour, we started a new lunch/ advisory format this past week that had been vetted with teachers and students and discussed around Spring Break. We kicked this new process off in efforts to allow for more tutorial time in the middle of the day, targeted intervention time and flexibility with clubs and organizations. With that said, our students have an hour each day (other than Wednesdays) to make a tutorial plan that best fits their needs. They can come and go to tutorials, get some targeted small group time and plan better with their clubs. So far, we are hearing great reviews, but we are monitoring for effectiveness for those that need it the most. We are working to continue to hold students accountable for going to tutorials if they are failing a class at the beginning of the week. Please see the attached slide deck with more information and ask your falcon about FALCON HOUR!! https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1ykNyGioDfB0oorDCoe1oqAhVpQ-8mbblMPBXZ6ZEqCs/edit?usp=sharing
