Dear Grant Middle School Families,
We have officially made it to December! There are just three short weeks until Christmas Break and the end of the first semester. As we move into this final stretch, here are a few important reminders and updates for our families:
Summer School:
Summer school eligibility is determined by averaging a student’s first and second semester grades. Any student with an average of 69 or below will be required to regain credit during summer school. Attendance also plays a major role. Students may not miss more than 10% of the school year (18 days). Exceeding this limit may also result in required summer school attendance.
Winter Pep Rally:
Our grade levels have been working hard in friendly competition to earn a spot at our Winter Pep Rally. The two grade levels with the highest Imagine Math lessons completed per student will attend. At the rally, we will recognize our athletic teams, student clubs, and celebrate achievements from this semester.
Winter Dress-Up Days:
Please refer to the flyer above for our winter dress-up themes. As a reminder, Crocs, house shoes, and revealing attire are not permitted at any time.
Chromebooks:
With end-of-semester and six-week assessments approaching, it is essential that all students bring their charged device every day. Having ready-to-use technology helps ensure testing and instruction run smoothly.
Texas Middle School to Watch:
We are proud to share that Grant Middle School has advanced to the second round of the Texas Middle School to Watch selection process through the Texas Association of Secondary School Principals. As part of this phase, visitors will come to campus to observe instruction and meet with staff and our Principal Ambassadors. If selected, our campus will be recognized at a statewide conference this summer and will serve as a model for other middle school administrators across Texas. This is an exciting opportunity to showcase the great work happening at Grant.
Behavior and Expectations:
As we get closer to the end of the semester, we ask for your support in reminding students about positive behavior and meeting expectations. While we know students are excited for the upcoming break, it is important they remain focused, stay in class, and continue to engage in high-quality instruction.
Thank you for your continued partnership and support. We look forward to closing out the first semester strong and working together to ensure every student at Grant Middle School has a successful finish to 2025.
With Cuda Pride,
Mr. Raymond Garza
Principal
