Goal
Goal
To provide a quality education for our gifted and talented students. We put much thought into preparing our students to be well-educated citizens. We look for ways to motivate all of our students to understand critical skills and concepts. We understand this is a transitioning year for sixth-grade students. The sixth-grade team is here to help.
HISD Connect

Online grade book that students and parents will get feedback about the student's performance in class. Students have access and should check at least once a week. Students and parents are encouraged to set reminders once a week to review feedback and grades on Power School and Canvas. If you have questions about grades, please review the feedback via flags and comments and reach out to teachers for clarification. For more information on how to access HISD Connect/Power School, please see the "assignments/grades" tab above.
Organization
Organization
Each student should have 1 binder, with dividers for each subject. Inside the binder should also be a pencil bag and folder. Students are responsible for bringing this binder and their HISD-issued device to all classes.
The folder is intended as a general, all classes, "to do" and "to turn in" folder. Students are encouraged to label each pocket of the folder accordingly.
Every student in every class has the expectation and the routine of writing down their homework/classwork assignments posted on the classroom board/projection screen.
Even if there is no homework for the day in a particular subject, "No Homework" should be written as such and strongly encouraged.

Tardies
Tardies
Teachers, students, and parents must work together to ensure students are present and on time for each class.
Students who accumulate tardies throughout the semester will be subject to progressive disciplinary action. The progressive discipline will be based on 4 tardies. Once the 4th, 8th, and 12th tardies are reached, the student will be subject to disciplinary action. This includes the first period but excludes excused tardies, such as students being late with a doctor's note.
Consequences for tardies: 4th=lunch detention, 8th= three days of lunch detention (referral generated), 12th= week of lunch detention (referral generated) Note: repeat offenders may be subject to a one-day out-of-school suspension for repetitive insubordination.
Technology
Technology
All electronic devices (cell phones, music players, game players, cameras, earbuds, smart watches, etc…) must be turned off during the instructional day unless otherwise directed by your teachers. This includes at lunch. We recommend these devices be kept at home or in a locker.
Confiscated devices will be kept in the West Office safe for 30 days. Parents will need to pay $15 for the device to be retrieved. If there is an emergency and you need to pass along a message to your child, please call the front office, and the message will be delivered as soon as possible for ongoing instruction.
The $15 retrieval fee is HISD policy and must be paid through SchoolPay, available on the T.H. Rogers website or by clicking this link: HERE Please make sure to print out the receipt as that will be exchanged for the phone in the West Office.
Please see the signed paperwork and courses regarding HISD-issued devices and proper technology usage. All students are expected to bring devices from class, home, and school daily. Students will not be able to charge laptops at school. They can hold charge throughout the school day but MUST be charged nightly. Please develop a schedule/reminder to charge and pack devices daily.
