Important Reminder for Parents and Guardians

This is a friendly reminder to all parents and guardians: If your child is missing required vaccines, please ensure that their vaccination records are submitted to the school nurse no later than December 4, 2024.

Immunization notices have been sent home. Please check your child’s red folder or backpack to see if any vaccines are needed. If you’re unsure about your child’s vaccine status or need assistance, feel free to contact the school nurse for guidance at marangel.santos@houstonisd.org

These records are crucial for maintaining a healthy and safe school environment for all students. If you have questions or need further assistance, feel free to contact the school nurse.

Thank you for your cooperation in keeping our school community healthy!

Food Drive Success

Thank you so much to all those that donated food for our food drive. It was a massive success. Our students raised over 2,000 pounds of food! Literally a TON of food! The House of Amos was very grateful. Families in need all over Houston were able to benefit.
