Advocacy Update

HISD Advocacy:  There is another budget workshop on May 1 at 1pm.  Once available, the link for the workshop will be here.  If you missed the last workshop, you can watch the video here.  One thing addressed in the last workshop was the legislature’s proposed increase in the “basic allotment” (per-student amount that the state gives districts).  Superintendent Miles currently plans to pass only 30% of any increase on to PUA schools like Heights.

Heights Public Library & Teen Advisory Club
Heights Public Library & Teen Advisory Club
Heights Public Library is located down the street from Heights High School at 1302 Heights Blvd. They offer a variety of resources and services to all who hold library cards, as well as a hangout space for all. Fun fact - both teachers and students have access to their collection and online resources via a Learning Link Card. The login information for the cards is as follows:
For students:
  • Username: first letter of last name, followed by student ID number
  • PIN: numbers for the month and day of birthday (ex. April 26 is 0426)
For teachers: 
  • Username: F + school ID
  • PIN: birthday as well
The Teen Advisory Club will be kicking off in the fall of 2025. Membership in the club requires attendance at monthly meetings. Those who participate in the Club will learn more about library resources, post-graduation opportunities, share insights on how they would design a teen space at the library, and host their own program for their peers or for younger children. They will also receive service hours for their time.
Information about the Club can be found at this link: What is Teen Advisory Club? - Ask HPL
The registration form can be found directly at this link: HPL - Teen Advisory Club Application - Visit Us at Houston Public Library
 
Heights Public Library will be having a parent information session for Teen Advisory Club on May 3rd. More information can be found here: TAC – Improve Library Services for Teens! Information session - Reservations - Visit us
