Dear Grant Middle School Families,
Thank you for a wonderful first week of school! It was such a joy to welcome our students back and hear all about their summer vacations. I am proud of how well they adjusted to expectations and procedures, especially during transitions, breakfast, and lunch.
Texas Education Agency – Accountability Rating
I’m excited to share that Grant Middle School has earned a “B” rating from TEA along with two academic distinctions! Our campus has shown steady academic growth over the last three years, and I could not be prouder of our students, staff, and community. This achievement would not have been possible without your continued partnership and support.
Exciting News – Grant MS is Going 1:1!
Every student has now been issued a personal Chromebook as part of the district’s 1:1 technology initiative. Students are responsible for bringing their device fully charged each day, as there are no extra devices available in classrooms. Families may also purchase an optional $15 insurance plan through our campus webstore to help cover accidental damage or loss.
Schedule Changes
Beginning Wednesday, students may pick up a schedule change request form from the front office. Forms must be signed by a parent and returned by Friday. Please note that schedule changes are not guaranteed and will only be approved if space is available in the requested class.
Lunch Procedures
For the first six weeks of school, parents will not be permitted to eat lunch with their child. This allows students to learn and adjust to lunch routines.
📌 Reminder: Food drop-offs are not permitted at any time during the school year.
House Bill 1481 – Personal Communication Device Policy
In compliance with House Bill 1481, the use of cell phones, smartwatches, wireless earbuds, and other telecommunication devices is not allowed during the school day. Per district policy, all devices must remain powered off and stored in backpacks from the moment a student enters the building until dismissal at 4:10 p.m.
Consequences for violations include:
Please help reinforce this important expectation by discussing it with your child.
All classes are now fully engaged in their curriculum, and I look forward to seeing our students thrive as we move into Week 2. Thank you for your continued support in making Grant Middle School a place of learning, growth, and success.
Your Proud Principal,
Mr. Raymond Garza
