Progress Reports
Progress Reports were sent out to students via their HISD email addresses.  If you have questions about a grade in a class, reach out directly to the teacher. If you have larger questions or concerns about your progress report or academic progress, please connect with your Assistant Principal or Counselor.
 
Students that are looking for an additional resource to support their learning can also utilize the National Honor Society’s tutorial program. NHS tutoring is available to ALL Bellaire students (9th to 12th grade) needing assistance in Math, English, Social Studies, Foreign Languages, and the Sciences. ALL tutoring sessions will be held in Ms. Kuhleman's room (Room 2707) unless specified by the teacher. Students can sign up here.
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 the 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. If you have questions about your student's PGP, please contact their counselor. Click here to access their contact information.

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].

Freedom From Period Poverty Drive
The Italian National Honor Society has posted on Donors Choose a project to provide girls attending Bellaire High School with feminine hygiene products in the restrooms. Period poverty - the lack of access to education about menstruation or menstrual products - is an issue that faces an alarming number of students in the United States.

The pads, tampons, and baskets that will be places in the school's restrooms will allow students who face period poverty to access these resources freely. This will improve girls' attendance, since they would not to have to miss school for lack of resources when they have their period, and it will help them to focus on their academic work.

A study conducted by Think and PERIOD found that 23% of students in the U.S. experience period poverty. Additionally, an overwhelming majority of students felt that period products should be available to them in their school bathrooms.

Help us reach our goal for this project by donating on tinyurl.com/INHSperiod2021.

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.
