New School Hours

We will be adjusting our school start time and dismissal time this year. While we do not foresee any major changes, the schedule is pending final district approval.

Start Time - 7:45am

Dismissal - 2:55pm

*We do not anticipate major time changes to our bus pick up times, however bus drop off times will most likely be earlier.

Schedule Changes

This year we will switch to a block schedule with 4 class periods per day, alternating every other day.  This schedule allows for us to better facilitate Project Based Learning.  Cohorts will once again have the creative freedom to adjust and plan their cohort time to best fit the needs of their students.  The block schedule also ensures students participating in corporate sponsored internships will have adequate time to complete on campus courses and their internship hours.

Early Release Days

This year we will follow the district calendar for early release days. Students will be released 2 1/2 hours early on the following days:

Wednesday, September 21st

Tuesday, October 11th

Wednesday, November 16th

Wednesday, January 25th

Wednesday, February 22nd

Seniors who have not yet completed the senior survey regarding additional course selections must complete by Wednesday, July 27th in order to have their schedules reflect their final course selections. Students who do not complete the survey by Wednesday will be placed in appropriate science course.  Please complete the survey by visiting:  tinyurl.com/energycsadditions .

Students will report to Energy Institute High School by 7:45am Monday, August 22nd for the first day of the 2016-2017 school year. Since more parents tend to drop students off on the first day of school, please plan to arrive 15 minutes early to account for additional traffic.

Upon arrival to campus, students will be directed to their homeroom class via posted rosters in the cafeteria and in the main hallway. During homeroom students will receive their course schedule and their First Day of School packets (due by Friday, August 26th).  Students will complete enrollment cards and need to know their current address, parent home phone number, parent cell phone number, and an emergency contact number.

Students will then be released to attend classes for the day.  In each class students will receive a supply list and course syllabus. If you want to take advantage of Back-To-School sales prior to the first week of school, d onations are always greatly appreciated! Teachers and students are always in the need of the following items:  pencils, pens, dry erase markers, spiral notebooks, composition books, and more pencils!

Bus route postcards are mailed one week prior to the first day of school by HISD's transportation department.  You can also check http://www.houstonisd.org/transportation for contact information as well as bus routes.

Update Current Home Address

If your mailing address has changed since you either registered your new student or since last year, please submit a utility bill (gas, electric, water) with your new address as soon as possible to Mr. Skinner in the main office.  This information is imperative for us to have in order to provide the HISD transportation department with the correct addresses to plan routes.

Here Comes the Bus

To actively monitor bus routes, bus locations, and pick up times please set up an account at  www.herecomesthebus.com.  You must set up your account on a desktop, but after the initial set up and login, you should be able to access the application for your mobile device.  The Energy School Code is: 76647.
