We had a great October meeting with Ms. Chapman presenting key facts about college search, applications, scholarships, and more. Mr. Frau presented the facts about stress in students and adults and how to watch for signs that stress is becoming a danger.

Then Anna Blome and Sarah Yu, two CVHS juniors, gave parents tips they learned about reducing stress. We hope to have both talks available via webcast soon!

Our next general meeting won't be until January, when we have CVHS alumni talk about the transition to college. We are altering our course for Nov. and Dec. and moving toward socials. Nov. 12th is our BBQ night (which is almost full!) and see the list below of neighborhood socials that are ongoing.

We are over half way to our Friends & Family goal and really need your help to finish the race. Every donation counts no matter how large or small, so please help us reach our goal and put a cover over the outdoor theatre.

Keep Calm and Rhino On!

The CVHS National Honor Society is proud to offer tutoring to all students. Due to high demand for tutors though, the NHS volunteers are moving from individual tutoring to small-group tutoring sessions. Any student who would like tutoring may come to Ms. Alcoriza's room during SSEP every week, according to the schedule below:

Rhinos who missed picture day in September can still be immortalized in the 2015-16 yearbook. 

Re-takes have been re-scheduled for fourth period on Monday, Nov. 2 from 11:15 a.m. to the end of lunch. Seniors will go first then underclassmembers. The latter can have their pictures taken after 12:45 p.m.

The most efficient way to receive your school pictures is to order online per the instructions in the proof package. You may also turn your picture money into Ms. Paget in the library by Friday, Oct. 30. Retakes may be purchased after you see the proofs.

See Ms. Paget in the library if you have any questions or e-mail her at apaget@houstonisd.com

Tours will include a presentation in the CVHS Theater in the Fine Arts Building followed by student-led tours. Parent volunteers are needed to accompany and assist with these weekly tours. Magnet tours are an excellent opportunity for potential students and their parents to get better acquainted with Carnegie's magnet program and our wonderful CVHS community, and the parent perspective is an important 

You may sign up for as few or as many dates as your schedule allows. If you would like to help, click the Magnet Tour Volunteer link here to sign up or for more information.
