YES Prep Hobby High School will open its doors this fall in August as we welcome our Founding Class of 2026 to the 9th Grade. We are asking 8th Grade Families to scan the QR Code or click Here to access the survey.
 

All 8th grade Aviators who meet promotion guidelines will automatically have a spot at YES Prep Hobby for the 9th grade.

Grades Update:

Progress report grades were posted earlier this week, however due to a technology glitch, some student grades were not accurate, however, the problem was resolved. Please log into Schoology and you will see the most up to date grades for students. Thank you for your patience.  

7th Grade STAAR Field Test:

On February 15, 7th grade students will be taking a STAAR Field Test in the morning. What this means is 7th grade students will take a STAAR test on their YES Prep device and data will be collected for Texas Education Agency. Their exams will not be graded and the school, families do not have access to the scores. The Field Test is only a data collection for TEA. Please have your students arrive on time and share with your students to try their best. Thank you.  

Student IDs:

As part of our safety and security process, we ask for all staff and students to wear a Photo ID while on campus. Students received one free photo ID this semester. If your Aviator needs to purchase a new photo ID, please send them with $5 to cover the cost of the materials needed to print the identification. Students who do not purchase a new photo ID will receive a daily temporary ID and a demerit each time they need this temporary ID. These demerits lead to detentions.

2022-2023 Lottery:

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!

Afterschool Activities:

Starting in February, we have Aviators staying on campus after school every day for varying activities: ASPIRE, Tutorials, and athletics. If your student is staying for ASPIRE, please do not arrive to pick them up until after 5:30pm and use the second dismissal lane (pictured below). Tutorials and athletics will use the first dismissal lane starting at 5:00pm. Please allow space for cars to pass in the lines. We appreciate your flexibility with this system as we work to adjust to having multiple after school activities running for our students! 

Late Arrival Traffic Update:

We’re adjusting our late arrival traffic pattern and drop-off arrival area starting this Monday, 1/31. This change is to keep our students safe as they exit their cars and help keep the front driveway clear of accidents. We will only use this process from 8:30am-8:40am.  

Any Aviator dropped off after 8:30am will receive a tardy demerit which may lead to them serving a lunch detention.  

Please follow these steps if you need to drop off your student from 8:30-8:40am. Do not enter through the main office gate for late arrival drop off from 8:30-8:40am. 

1. Enter through the second gate on Tallyho. This is the same gate we use at dismissal time.  

2. Pull up to the arrival drop-off area and let your Aviator out so they enter Hobby at the Building 3 door. Two staff members will be there to meet your student. 

After 8:40am, all late students should be dropped off at the front office.  

COVID-19 Health and Safety Reminders:

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.
