Good Evening, Grant Community!
First, a big thank you to all the parents and students who attended our Open House!
We hope you found the event informative and enjoyed connecting with your child’s teachers. Your involvement is key to ensuring this will be their best year yet, and together, we’ll make it happen!
I hope you all had a restful weekend and are ready for the week ahead. Our students have been hard at work in the classroom as we approach the close of our first grading period. This week marks the final opportunity for students to connect with their teachers and ensure their grades are where they need to be. For those participating in UIL sports, please remember that students must be passing all classes by 4:10 p.m. this Friday to remain eligible. If a student is not passing, they’ll have to wait until progress reports to regain eligibility. We appreciate your support in monitoring their progress and communicating with teachers when needed—it makes a big difference!
Behavior Affirmation
I want to take a moment to commend our students for their positive behavior both inside and outside of the classroom. Their ability to self-manage and make responsible choices is creating a more focused and productive learning environment. This also allows our administrative team to spend more time in classrooms, directly supporting teachers to ensure your child receives the best instruction possible. Maintaining these high standards is especially important when we have substitutes on campus. Ensuring substitutes have a great experience encourages them to return when needed. Thank you for reinforcing these expectations at home!
Beginning-of-Year (BOY) Testing
This week, all students will continue with their BOY screeners. In addition to core subjects, assessments will be conducted in Social Studies, Fine Arts, P.E., CTE, and AVID classes. Please note that we will follow our block schedule on Monday and Tuesday to accommodate this. Additionally, we’ll be calling in students who missed or were unable to complete their MAP assessments from last week. Attendance is especially important this week to ensure every student finishes their exams. We’re aiming for 100% participation, and your support in getting students to school is greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your continued partnership and dedication to our school community. Let’s make it a fantastic week for our students!
Your Proud Principal,
Mr. Raymond Garza
