Students are selected for magnet enrichment classes by magnet specialists based upon outstanding ability or interest in a given area. Those students selected must maintain a 75 average in all classes, acceptable performance on the previous year's TAAS test and no P's or U's in conduct. Parents who wish special consideration for an enrichment class should notify the appropriate magnet specialist the first week of school. Priority is given to students in upper grades. If more students qualify for a class than space allows, the child's name will be placed on a wait list.
Teachers make all selections.
However, some children's classes may only meet 2-3 days per week. This practice allows magnet specialists to have some beginner classes as well as intermediate and advanced. Brothers and sisters may not wait around to walk home together. There is no child care available. It is the policy of the Houston Independent School District not to discriminate on the basis of age, color, handicap or disability, ancestry, national origin, marital status, race, religion, sex, veteran status, or political affiliation in its educational or employment programs and activities.
