  5. The new FHSP • The core requirements will likely be: • 4 English • 4 Math (to include Alg I and Geom) • 4 Science (to include Bio) • 3 Social Studies (to include US History, Gov’t, and Econ) • Students will be strongly encouraged to earn an endorsement which may include CTE and specific math and science courses • More details to come once the bill is law • Students currently in high school (and possibly current 8th graders) may graduate on the graduation plans now in place (MHSP, RHSP, DAP) or may choose the FHSP

  11. When Considering FHSP . . . • Think about the student’s chosen pathway • Which science & math courses will be needed? • Think about which college/university the student plans to attend • Which science & math courses are required for admission and/or chosen major? • Realize we don’t know all the details of the FHSP • Will the student have an opportunity to complete all the requirements of the FHSP?

  12. Student Procedure for Course Changes • 1. Review next year’s requested courses on the attached verification sheet. • 2. Go to www.bridges.com • Portfolio Name = humble + your student ID (ex: humble123456) • Password = your student ID (ex: 123456) • Click Choices Planner • Click the green “your portfolio” tab near the top, then click “YOUR PLANS” • Scroll down to the purple “Your School Course Plan” • 3. If you wish to remain on your current graduation plan, make certain that next year’s planned courses in Bridges match those on your attached course verification sheet. If they don’t match, edit the Bridges planned courses.

  13. Student Procedure for Course Changes 4. If you wish to graduate on the new Foundation High School Plan (FHSP), make the appropriate potential changes in Bridges. Write the same changes on your course verification sheet, have a parent sign it, and return that sheet to your counselor by Friday, May 31. We will make these changes once HB 5 becomes a law. Remember: The FHSP may have other course requirements that are not currently in your graduation plan. You will be informed of those requirements as soon as we know them. Please watch for new videos on our district website, www.humbleisd.net. • *Students receiving services through Special Education may need to have course changes approved by an ARD Committee. • Course Plans in Bridges will be locked again June 3rd. If you wish to make changes after that date, contact your campus to speak with a counselor.

  14. Communicating with Parents • Parents can view the power point online • Two evening meetings for parents will be held on each campus during the summer • Counselors will be available during summer work hours on each HS campus to answer questions • Information letters will be sent home with report cards • Power point for FHSP online • How to request changes • Parent meetings dates/times • How to schedule appt with counselor

  15. Help us help you! • Turn in course change requests on time • Check www.humbleisd.net often for updates • Make an appointment to talk with a high school counselor if needed
