The Houston Independent School District has chosen DeBakey HSHP as one of the pilot schools for its new online initiative - "The Source". The Source gives registered students a district email (for school business use) and also gives students and parents access to progress report grades, report card grades and attendance information any time from their home computer. Please go to The Source to find out more about how to register.

PARENT VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!!!

Without you, events might have to be cancelled!

Parents, your physical presence is greatly needed at DeBakey HSHP. The DeBakey students are involved in many activities. We need parents to volunteer to assist in chaperoning activities all year long in order for them to take place.

For the students' protection, the Houston Independent School District has adopted a policy that requires all volunteers to undergo a screening process. You must complete this HISD screening each year, prior to participating in an activity with the students. Please call the school at 713-741-2410 to get your volunteer application and to ask any questions or go to the HISD website at http://amun.houstonisd.org/visits/en-us/login.aspx to register online.

We look forward to seeing you!

Dear Parents,

As the end of the school year approaches, please take a moment to look at your child's school uniforms. He/she may have out grown them or in the case of senior students, he/she may no longer want them after this school year ends.

If you think you will have any "experienced" school uniforms that your family will not need after the end of this school year, consider donating them to DeBakey for use by other students who may need them.

Contact Jeannine Perrot at jperrot@comcast.net if you are interested in donating.

Regards,

Jeannine Perrot
