CoronaVirus and Exemption Modification for Final Exams
HISD has authorized high school campuses to modify the attendance requirements when it comes to student exemptions for final exams. In the past, there was a limit of three excused absences. Working in alignment with the update from the HISD, we are removing the cap on the number of excused absences to be exempt from the spring final exam. Further details on this adjustment will be shared after we return from our current school closure period.

Gender Equality Month
March is the month when Gender Equality is celebrated. Gender equality is a human right. Gender equality means that the different behavior, aspirations and needs of women and men are considered, valued and favored equally. It does not mean that women and men need to become the same, but that their rights, responsibilities and opportunities will not depend on whether they are born male or female. Gender equity means fairness of treatment for women and men, according to their respective needs. This may include equal treatment or treatment that is different, but which is considered equivalent in terms of rights, benefits, obligations and opportunities. (ABC of Women Worker's Rights and Gender Equality, ILO, 2000. p. 48)
Women are entitled to live with dignity and with freedom from want and from fear. Gender equality is also a precondition for advancing development and reducing poverty: Empowered women contribute to the health and productivity of whole families and communities, and they improve prospects for the next generation.
https://www.unfpa.org/gender-equality
The United nations states that it is time to call for change and to celebrate acts of courage and determination by ordinary women who have played extraordinary roles in the history of their communities/country. Be empowered and make a difference today in your school or local community by:
1. Educate others about gender equality. You can share what you've learned with others.
2. Contact your representatives about important policies and legislation. Let your representatives know that gender equality is an important issue to you.
3. Make sure women receive credit for their ideas and work. Women often are not given enough credit for what they do in the workplace.
4. Run for office in the clubs or organizations you are a member of. This will enable you to help develop and promote policies and legislation that promote gender equality. https://www.wikihow.com/Promote-Gender-Equality
