Course Selection is currently taking place! Students are meeting with their counselors at this time.

Students should have their 4-year plans completed in Naviance, including elective selections and alternate classes. Please refer to the video in the previous paragraph. Selections can be changed from year to year. This 4-year plan is fluid and a working document. Do not worry about it being perfect.

If you have a current Sophomore or Junior, we want to give you time to review important dual credit information for anyone wishing to take a dual credit class for the 2026-2027 school year. The dual credit submission form is now open and will close on Thursday, April 2nd, 2026. The next step is reviewing the steps to becoming a dual credit student, as outlined on the TWHS Dual Credit Website.

Step 1: Are you a new or returning dual credit student? If you are new, please proceed to step 2. If you are not new, you will proceed to step 3.

Step 2: If you are a new dual credit student, complete the Apply Texas application & set up your LoneStar College account and forward your emails. If you are not new to dual credit, you can proceed to step 3.

Step 3: Do you have qualifying test scores either through SAT, ACT, or the TSIA2 tests? If you do, you do NOT need to re-qualify. If you don't and have not signed up for the February ACT, you will need to be sure to sign up for the TSIA2 test. More information on that to come. Testing usually occurs in March. However, before you are able to test in March, you MUST create an Accuplacer account and complete the pre-assessment activity. Instructions for completing the pre-assessment can be found here.

You may be asked to show your certificate of completion, so be sure to download your certificate and save it to your google drive. For students taking the February ACT test or March SAT test, scores are usually loaded into your College Board or ACT account within 3 weeks. Students taking the TISA2 test, you will receive your scores as soon as you complete your test.

Step 4: Submitting the dual credit google form (including uploading your dual credit paperwork and qualifying test scores). This step cannot be completed UNTIL the student obtains the qualifying test scores. The form opens January 6, 2026, and closes April 2, 2026.

The last and final step will not occur until July/August. I will send out another email with payment instructions once students have been enrolled in their dual credit courses for the fall by Lone Star College. This typically happens at the end of July. The deadline to have steps 1-4 completed is April 2, 2026.

Here are some important dates:

• April 2nd: Dual Credit paperwork deadline-all test scores should be received, and completed paperwork turned in by this date
• April 13th: Paper verifications sent home with completed course requests
• April 17th: Verifications due and course change requests due

The schedule change deadline has passed. Although we are no longer changing schedules, it is advised to request a meeting with your child's teacher to discuss your concerns. Please make note that we provide tutoring and after school homework help. If a student failed the first semester, depending on the average, the student can recuperate the entire credit in the second semester by averaging the two semesters to a 70 or above. However, if a student fails the second semester, they cannot average it with the first semester to pass both.

Students have met with their counselor, and course requests for the 26-27 school year were selected. You can view those by following the instructions linked HERE

As we look ahead to the end of the semester, we want to share our policy regarding final exam attendance to help you plan accordingly. Final exams are scheduled for May 19-22. Please note that students are not permitted to take final exams early. If a student is unable to attend their scheduled exam due to illness or extenuating circumstances, the following process will apply:

• Reporting Absences: After Spring Break, look for a form in the "Highlander Happenings" to report any expected absences during final exams. This helps us schedule your make up session for late May or June.
• Gradebook Updates: If an exam is missed, a "0" will be entered. This will significantly impact semester averages until the exam is completed and graded. If the exam is not completed, the "0" will remain. It is the family's responsibility to schedule it once the information is published.
• Exemptions: To maintain exemption status, students must be present in class on the day of the exam. If a student is exempt but absent, a "0" will still be entered until the requirement is met over the summer. If the exam is not completed, the "0" will remain. It is the family's responsibility to schedule it once the information is published.
• Completion Timeline: All make-up exams must be completed by mid-June. Once graded, updates will be reflected in the Home Access Center as soon as possible.

If you are planning to take Dual Credit courses during the 2026-2027 school year, you must have qualifying scores from the SAT, ACT, or TSIA2.

Today is the last day to sign up for the school issued TSIA2

Step 1: Apply to Lone Star College and Get Your Lone Star ID To register for the TSIA2, you must have a 7-digit Lone Star ID number (typically starting with an "8").

• How to apply: Follow the steps at TWHS Dual Credit to apply and receive your LoneStar ID.

• Wait time: It usually takes 3–5 days to receive your ID, so please plan ahead.

Step 2: Create an Accuplacer Account. Once you have an account, you will need to complete the pre-assessment activity. Instructions to complete the pre-assessment activity can be found here.

Step 3: Choose Your Testing Date Testing is held at TWHS. Seats are filled on a first-come, first-served basis.

• Tuesday, March 24 (7:15 AM): Full Test (Students will miss class to test)

• Tuesday, March 24 (2:45 PM): Reading and Essay only AND

• Thursday, March 26 (2:45 PM): Math only

• Saturday, March 28 (8:00 AM): Full Test

Step 4: Register Once you have your Lone Star ID, sign up for your preferred date through this link: TSIA2 REGISTRATION You must sign up and select a day to express your interest in testing through TWHS.

Registration Deadline: Friday, March 6, 2026

The alternative to testing at TWHS is to make an appointment at Lone Star College at (936) 273-7377. You will need to request a testing ticket through your counselor AFTER you have secured your Lone Star ID. Hours of operation for testing at Lone Star College are:

• Monday-Tuesday: 8AM-7PM

• Wednesday-Thursday: 8AM-6PM

• Friday: 8AM-5PM

• Saturday: 9AM-2PM

• Sunday: CLOSED

*If you previously tested and did not make a qualifying score or you do not have a qualifying score on the tests in March, retesting at Lone Star College is your only option. Please note that all Dual Credit scores and paperwork for the 26-27 school year must be submitted by April 2, 2026.

Choir Notes - March Edition

We are on a mission to spread inclusion! We bring students with intellectual disabilities together with their typically developing peers for food, fun and physical activities! EVERYONE is welcome to join! We meet twice a month on the 2nd and 4th Mondays from 2:45-3:30pm in room 107 at the senior campus. Freshmen are welcome to attend and may take the shuttle from the 9th grade campus to the senior campus. Questions? Contact the sponsor, Dianne Maberry at dmaberry@conroeisd.net - check us out on IG @twhs.mim

JROTC Upcoming Events:

USS Lexington Sophomore CIA trip: Sophomores will travel to Corpus Christi, TX 19-20 March to spend a night on the USS Lexington. A cadet fee of $80 for this trip has been added to SchoolCash online and is due by 12 March.

Unit Inspection has been rescheduled for 25 March.

TWHS offers a multitude of languages, including Japanese, German, French, and Chinese. As students decide which language to choose, there are a few things to keep in mind. Which language will make them stand out to future employers? Please see our monthly newsletter for more information about who we are and what our languages offer.

Vaccines: If your student has received any vaccines this school year, feel free to send a copy or screenshot to your child’s nurse so that we can add it to their electronic record. You can email it to aransley@conroeisd.net for the Senior Campus, or jvanroekel@conroeisd.net for the Ninth Grade Campus.

Summer Movers: If your child is not returning to TWHS in the fall, we are able to provide you with an emailed copy of their electronic vaccine record or their original vaccine exemption form, as long as you request it no later than May 22nd. We will not be able to fulfill requests made during the summer.

Senior Parents: Colleges and universities require a second dose of the Meningitis (MCV4) vaccine that is received on or after the student’s 16th birthday, since the first dose is only effective for five years. You may also want to discuss the optional Meningitis B vaccine with your doctor. That is a newer vaccine that is available to children ages 16-18, and it protects against an additional strain of the meningococcal virus.

Screenings: The clinic is still in the process of performing state-required vision and hearing screening on all students who were not enrolled in Conroe ISD in 7th grade. If your child has received a vision referral this school year, please ensure that you follow up on that by making an appointment with an eye doctor, and have them sign the bottom portion of the referral form. It does not count as a completed referral unless that signed form is received in the clinic. Please contact the clinic if you need assistance.

Congratulations to our 3rd Nine Weeks Highlighted Highlanders! These students are nominated by teachers and staff for displaying outstanding citizenship, achievement, or service. Students are nominated based on modeling one or more of the following: Core Values, Good Citizenship, High or Unique Achievements, Improved Performance, A Random Act of Kindness, Leadership, Excellent Attitude.

9th Graders

Please join us in congratulating Mrs. Ashley Johnson as our Highlander STRONG Teacher of the Month! Thank you, Mrs. Johnson, for all you do for our Highlanders!

Here are a few things her students had to say about Mrs. Johnson:

*Mrs. Johnson is the most selfless and kind person you will ever meet. She never fails to make me smile and coming to class is the pure highlight of my week. I love her ability to be my most trusted adult and I think she deserves this award more than anyone.

*She runs 3 different classes and the Lil' Landers and a club. She works very hard to make sure we love what we are doing and are having fun. Mrs. Johnson loves what she does and being able to help her students which you can tell once you walk into her class.

Please join me in congratulating our Support Staff Teacher, Justin Boyett as our Highlander STRONG Staff of the Month! We are so thankful for everything he does for students while they are in his classroom; the relationships he builds with students is super important. He always steps up to the plate and is willing to help when needed, he is an integral part of our staff.

Campus Accountability Reports

Please check your Home Access Center to verify your address is correct. If you do not have access to the Parent Portal, please email svance@conroeisd.net. Include information: Student ID, Student Name, and Student Grade.

SCHOOL CASH ONLINE: Please be sure to check your child's School Cash Online account frequently. The website is www.conroeisd.schoolcashonline.com. Fees are added throughout the year for various activities. If you have any questions or concerns regarding the fees charged to your child, please contact the classroom teacher or club sponsor. Failure to pay fees listed as "required" or "overdue" may result in a student not being permitted to participate in some extracurricular activities.

We would like to inform you that the Welcome Center, led by Iytzia Cárdenas, has now been relocated to the Jett Center. However, she continues to visit our campus some days a week, mainly when she has scheduled appointments with families.

🧭 Her Mission: Guiding Families Through a New educational System

If you come across a family who may benefit from a one-on-one meeting with Iytzia to better understand and navigate the school system, please don’t hesitate to refer to them.

Iytzia is committed to:

• Providing clear guidance and support

• Helping families gradually access the information they need

• Ensuring they do not feel overwhelmed or lost

🌍 More Than Just a Language Barrier

We often assume the challenge is only about learning a new language—but in reality, it’s much deeper.

Families arriving from other countries experience:

• Culture shock.

• Grief and loss from leaving their home country, family , friends , etc.

• A complete shift in norms and expectations.

All of this can create confusion and uncertainty as they try to adjust. That’s where cultural and emotional support becomes essential.

👩‍🏫 Iytzia’s Ongoing Impact

With over 12 years of experience on this campus, Iytzia has played a key role in building strong connections with our families. Due to the growing importance of her work, her role has now been centralized, and she now serves all district schools through the Jett Center.

She identifies newly arrived families and reaches out directly—or sometimes is referred by families like you.

📌 How You Can Help

If you notice a student or family who seems to be struggling with adjustment, please:

• Reach out to Iytzia ( 281-220-9527) icardenas@conroeisd.net

• Share any relevant information.

• Encourage families to connect with her.

Even a small gesture can make a huge difference in helping families feel seen, understood, and supported.

Thank you for being a vital part of this support network. Together, we can continue creating a welcoming and inclusive community environment for everyone.
