YES Prep Hobby Parents!

My name is Ms. Jalicia Hines and I am the Founding ASPIRE Coordinator here at Yes Prep Hobby. The ASPIRE program is an afterschool program where we focus on the Academic, identity, college enrichment and family engagement. The ASPIRE Program will be providing before and after school programing for the Hobby student body. More information can be seen on the attached brochure. If your child is interested in the ASPIRE program, please register at this link and attend our “Landing with ASPIRE” Enrollment Day on either January 19^th or January 20^th. If you have any questions please reach out to Jalicia.Hines@yesprep.org

The application lottery is still open for the 2022-2023 and we still have space for students in 6^th – 8^th grade. Please share the application website with you family, friends, and neighbors and let them know why you believe Hobby is the best school for your student!

As we start the second semester, we know that COVID-19 continues to impact our school and broader Houston community.

We encourage Aviators to stay home when they are not feeling well and ask that you please contact the school at 713-842-5600 if your student is going to be absent.

If your student tests positive for COVID-19, please contact us as soon as you are able. Students with a positive COVID-19 test result may return to school when:

• Ten (10) days have passed since a positive COVID-19 test result or symptom onset, AND
• The students’ symptoms have improved, AND
• The student is fever-free for 24 hours without medication. A “fever” is considered a temperature 100.0 higher.

Ways to Keep Our Community Safe

• Wearing a mask is the expectation while on campus. Students should continue to wear a mask on the bus, at school, and while at school-sponsored events.
• We continue to clean our school on a regular schedule and pay close attention to the cleaning of high-traffic areas.
• We ask families to please conduct an at-home health screening each day to ensure that your student, and all YES Prep community members, stay safe and COVID-free. 
• Lastly, vaccination is currently the best protection against COVID-19. Health officials encourage everyone 5 years and older to get vaccinated and for those eligible, a booster dose. YES Prep continues to offer COVID-19 vaccines via Legacy Community Health clinics located at various YES Prep campuses. Schedule your child's vaccination with Legacy by clicking here.
