Walter Flores

Magnet Coordinator

Welcome to an exciting 2007-2008 school year. We are an extended day magnet program which means students stay after school until 4:45 p.m. Our primary focus is on fine arts. The classes are art, dance, music, rollerblades, dance / folklorico, tennis and integrated Kindergarten. Our magnet students have participated in several activities and projects since August and are looking forward to several more before the end of the year. Our program has an enrollment of 185 students in grades K-5. Students must have an E or S in conduct to be in the extended day program. They are in their assigned classes from 3:30 to 4:30 pm.

PURPOSE

The Magnet School Plan of the Houston Independent School District offers students a choice of a number of specialized programs on all grade levels (K-12). Developed and implemented in 1975, the plan is designed to provide programs of quality education that will “attract” students to them voluntarily.

WHO MAY ENROLL

The Extended Day Magnet Program is designed for children in grades K-5. Students are accepted on the basis of
an interest in an extended day class
and space available.

Students must have or maintain an
“S “in conduct to enter or stay in the magnet program. In addition, students must have good attendance.
