Houston independents and HISD/surrounding districts share a huge metro. TEA (Texas Education Agency) context matters for public campuses; independents still talk dual credit and AP. Hurricane and flood days belong on the holiday master.

September opening. US Dollar independent fees. Energy-sector relocations create mid-year joiners. Local named facts include TEA, HISD, US Dollar, hurricane.

Homeroom and period marks still read that map. Late joiners must not be absent before they enrolled. Statutory attendance codes (where they exist) are local. Do not import Ofsted codes onto a CBSE campus by default. Named owners still have to keep the holiday master, the roster, and the family view aligned in this place, because a brochure paragraph will not survive the first mid-year joiner or the first board week.
