Success in School
As we continue to move
forward, we always like to remind you of the promotion requirements in
HISD. Our goal is that every student will be promoted. In order to be
promoted, your student must attain an average of 70 or above in language
arts (including reading improvement, if it is required to be taken) and
mathematics. In addition, your student must have a passing average of at
least a 70 in science and a 70 average in social studies. In the event
these requirements are not met, teachers and counselors will be making
parent contact throughout the school year.
Here are
a few tips in helping our students succeed:
·
ask questions in class
·
attend school tutoring
·
utilize the Clifton Agenda Book
·
conduct parent/teacher conference
(contact
the student’s counselor for
an
appointment)
·
encourage classroom visits from parents
·
utilize teacher eBoards
It is always a pleasure for
us to help you and your students here at Clifton. Please do not hesitate
in contacting the counseling office for assistance as we continue to
help your student.
