Bellaire Tennis
Red Bird Tennis is on a roll. The Cardinals ended the season as district champs, which means they #BeatLamar 10-4 for the District Championship. In the second round of the playoffs, Bellaire Tennis defeated Jersey Village 10-0 to advance to the Area Championships. The Cardinals are led by Seniors Evan Boudreau, Peter Saudale, Jada Lucas and Iman Abafita. The future of Bellaire tennis looks promising with 18 of 22 lettermen returning next year. #CardinalProud

Personal Graduation Plans
Bellaire Counselors are meeting with 9th-11th grade students to initiate the Personal Graduation Plan (PGP.) The PGP is a required electronic document for all public high school students in Texas. The purpose is to track completion of high school requirements, endorsement plan selection, document course work, grades, and post-secondary planning. After the student initiates their PGP in the HISD Student Portal, parents have a step to complete as well. Parents will go into the HISD Connect parent portal to verify the information inputted by the students and electronically sign. A PGP is not considered complete until the parent completes this step.
 
Counselors will meet with students on the following dates:
9th grade- World Geography classes, October 18-22
10th grade- World History classes, November 1-5
11th grade- English 3 classes, November 15-19
 
The Parent’s Guide to the Personal Graduation Plan is linked here. (Debbie, see attachment.)
If assistance is needed to log into the HISD Parent Portal, please contact Alex Brown, Counselor’s clerk, for a copy of the parent portal letter at: [email protected].

Student Verification Forms for 2021-2022 are live! Parents would complete this verification form for any updates to student demographics and other information.

COVID-19 Notification Changes
We wanted to update you regarding the manner in which we will share notifications with families and the larger community. We will continue to follow the protocols shared in the Houston ISD Ready, Set, Go plan when a student is in close contact with a confirmed and/or presumed positive case. However, the district has shared that we should no longer share the general announcement with the entire school community, and instead only communicate with those directly impacted. The Houston ISD COVID-19 Dashboard remains updated on a regular basis and can be accessed at this link. Finally, in an effort to remain transparent so that we do not lose sight of the safe practices that we should all align with, we will share a summary of the active cases within our Cardinal eNews each week. We believe this will allow for everyone to remain informed while ensuring that we remain active to protect ourselves and our school community.
