What's up with all that graduation stuff?
Today's topic is what's on every senior's mind, GRADUATION!
Did you know?
Those “funny hats” that grads wear are called mortarboards because they resemble a tool used by bricklayers to hold mortar.
The cap and gown combination can be traced back to the academic and clerical dress commonly worn at the medieval universities of Europe. The early universities didn’t have buildings, so students would usually meet at churches. Since the churches were unheated, historians believe the students wore the long gowns and caps for warmth.
The tassel that hangs from the mortarboard rests on one side until the graduate has received his/her diploma. After the graduating class is announced, the students then switch the tassel to the other side and then many students toss their caps into the air.
The hat-tossing got started in Annapolis, Maryland in 1912. That year, students at the U.S. Naval Academy became officers for the first time (instead of having to serve two more years as midshipmen) and flung their hats into the air spontaneously.
The song Pomp and Circumstance also known as “Land of Hope and Glory” was written in Sir Edward Elgar in 1901. The title of “Pomp and Circumstance” comes from a line in Shakespeare’s Othello, “Pride, pomp and circumstance of glorious war!” In 1902, lyrics were written by poet and essayist Arthur Christopher Benson to celebrate the crowning of King Edward the VII.

Parenting with Love and Logic
CISD parents are invited to take our Parenting with Love and Logic course for free! The class at BB Rice has already started, but they are willing to take parents late.
New Late Bus Policy
A message from CONROE HIGH SCHOOL AND 9TH GRADE
Hello! I hope everyone had a great time during our Winter Break. This week has gone well with students quickly settling back into their school routine. I am writing this letter to inform you of a change in our late bus policy both here at CHS-9 and at CHS-Main. The new policy will go into effect Monday, January 13, 2014. In order to try to standardize late bus runs, we are piloting a “metro” bus format for our late buses. After several lengthy discussions with our transportation department we believe that this new system will get students home quicker and on a much more regular schedule. The details of this new system are as follows:
- Transportation has developed satellite stops much like the bus stops a metro bus system uses.
- These satellite stops are not intended to be within a short walk to each student’s home, but more of a central place where parents may pick up their children without having to drive all the way to campus.
- All students have been assigned a late bus route and a specific stop. This information is available online. A summary of all stops has been provided with this letter.
- Late bus routes will utilize a color system (Blue route, Red route, Orange route, etc.).
- When a student needs to ride a late bus, school personnel will print a late bus pass directly from CISD’s information system. The student’s route color and satellite stop information will be automatically printed on this pass. The student will be expected to ride their assigned bus and to get off at the assigned stop. Drivers will not be allowed to add or modify any stops on the list.
- All satellite stops have been chosen for their safety features (large parking lot for waiting parents, well lit, public place, etc.).
- Buses will run their route every day in the same order, in the same manner as a metro bus. This will help standardize arrival times, saving parents excessive waiting time.
I want to use this letter to let everyone know how much we, the faculty and staff here at CHS-9, appreciate your help and support in creating and growing this new campus. I know it is already a great place for freshmen to be and it will only continue to get better as we adjust and tweak our systems and programs to better suit everyone’s needs.
Sincerely,
Jeff Stichler
Principal, Conroe Ninth Grade Campus
