Dear Grant Middle School Families,
It’s hard to believe we’ve already completed the 9th week of school! Next week marks the halfway point of the second grading period. A special thank you to all the students who attended Intersession this week to receive accelerated instruction—your dedication and hard work are what set Grant Middle School apart!
I hope everyone is enjoying the fall break and taking time to rest and recharge. Our students have been giving their all, not only in the classroom but also on the athletic fields, courts, and in fine arts as they prepare for upcoming competitions. As your principal, I couldn’t be more proud of their effort and commitment.
Progress report grades were finalized on Friday, October 10. Please log in to the Home Access Center—or have your child show you their current grades and progress. For students participating in UIL activities, this grading period is an important opportunity to regain eligibility.
☕ Coffee with the Principal
Please join me on Thursday, October 23, at 8:00 AM in the library for our first-ever Coffee with the Principal. This informal session is a chance to connect, share ideas, and discuss important campus updates. For this first meeting, we’ll review our Targeted Improvement Plan (TIP) and take a closer look at how our school accountability system works. Your feedback and input are valuable as we continue improving Grant Middle School. Time will also be allotted for a Q&A on school accountability.
To ensure meaningful discussion, attendance will be limited to the first 25 parents who RSVP. Those who secure a spot will receive a confirmation email. Click the link below to reserve your seat!
🎃 Trail of Treats
Join us for our 3rd Annual Trail of Treats on October 30th! All students from our feeder campuses—Jones, Dawson, and Club Estates—are invited to attend.
On Halloween, our students always look forward to dressing up, and we love seeing them enjoy the day. Please review the following costume guidelines:
-
No face paint or masks
-
No fake weapons of any kind
-
No inflatables
-
Costumes must be school appropriate and meet length requirements
-
No excessively short outfits, muscle shirts, or tank tops
Thank you for your continued support as we close out the month of October strong. If you need any assistance or have questions about your child’s academics, please don’t hesitate to reach out to one of our administrators or counselors.
Thank you, and let’s finish the month strong—Go Cudas!
With Cuda Pride,
Mr. Raymond Garza
Principal
