Visitor Policy

All visitors are to report to the Principal’s office upon entering the building. Anyone wishing to spend time visiting the school must pick up a visitor’s pass at the office. While school is open, we do require that visitors abide by all school policies.  All visitors must successfully complete the check-in and have visitor’s pass before they will be allowed to enter the school beyond the main office.

Students will be supervised by staff as they proceed to class.  To ensure the security of our students, doors to classroom areas will remain locked during the school day. Texas Empowerment Academy’s policy does not allow parents or visitors to walk the hallways or sit in classrooms unless there is a specific need and prior approval and coordination is done through the administrator and teacher prior to the date.  This complies with state law (Texas Education Code – EDUC § 37.124), prohibiting the interruption of classes during the school day.   With the intense program that we have, it is also an effort to minimize distractions and maximize student learning, as well as to ensure confidentiality and the safety of our children.  Teachers are teaching classrooms all day except for a state mandated duty-free lunch and a short planning period.  Teachers at Texas Empowerment are also involved in before and after school duties, tutoring, etc.   If you wish to speak to a teacher, please contact the office to leave a message to schedule an appointment.Drop off Time in the Morning
