Dear Greiner Families,

Greiner MS is committed to keeping our school safe, calm, and focused on learning. Our priority is to protect instructional time so all scholars can learn without interruptions and feel secure while at school.


Texas law requires scholars to attend school regularly, and that learning continues as scheduled.

Our goal is to partner with families to ensure that a safe and supportive learning environment for all scholars continues every day. Please help us communicate with your scholar about the importance of coming to school daily, on time, report to class on time, and to engage in the learning for the day.


Thank you for your continued support in helping us keep our campus safe and a place where learning comes first.

Dress Code Guidelines

As we continue working together to maintain a focused and respectful learning environment, we kindly ask that you please review your scholar’s dress code each morning to ensure it is school-appropriate.

Key reminders:

  • Uniform pants are required daily. Please ensure pants are uniform-quality and not black jeans.

  • Jeans are only permitted on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday when scholars are wearing the assigned spirit shirt.

  • Shirts should be tucked in, and scholars should wear their lanyards around their necks at all times.

  • Scholars should arrive to school neat and presentable.

Being presentable means:

  • Hair color should match a natural hair color to prevent distractions.

  • Ladies should avoid heavy makeup and long nails that may create distractions.

  • Earrings in the ears are permitted; however, earrings or piercings on the eyebrows, nose, cheeks, lips, or other areas of the face are not allowed, as these create distractions.

Your support helps us maintain an environment where scholars are ready to learn and minimizes potential distractions during instructional time. Thank you for your partnership and continued support.


Lunch and Snack Guidelines
To ensure student safety and comply with cafeteria expectations, please note the following snack guidelines:

  • Snacks must be snack-size only, closed, and sealed.

  • No snacks from the same category are permitted (for example, one bag of chips is allowed, but not multiple bags of chips).

  • No food sharing is allowed during lunchtime.


Backpack Safety Reminder
Please check your scholar’s backpack daily to ensure only necessary school items are brought to school. Also, check that they don't hide things at the bottom of their backpacks, in their jackets, or in their shoes. Vapes, along with any type of weapon, are strictly prohibited and will lead to automatic DAEP and transfer or magnet revocation. Greiner is a safe campus, and bringing prohibited items or substances is strictly prohibited. Please help us maintain a safe environment for All scholars.


Thank you for your continued support and partnership. If you have any questions, please contact the school office.

Estimadas familias de Greiner,

La Escuela Secundaria Greiner está comprometida a mantener un ambiente escolar seguro, tranquilo y enfocado en el aprendizaje. Nuestra prioridad es proteger el tiempo de instrucción para que todos los alumnos puedan aprender sin interrupciones y se sientan seguros en la escuela.

La ley del estado de Texas requiere que los alumnos asistan a la escuela de manera regular, y que el aprendizaje continúe según lo programado.


El propósito de compartir esta información es trabajar en colaboración con las familias para garantizar que todos los alumnos continúen aprendiendo en un ambiente seguro y de apoyo todos los días. Les pedimos su apoyo para hablar con su alumno sobre la importancia de asistir a la escuela diariamente, llegar a tiempo, presentarse puntualmente a clase y participar activamente en el aprendizaje diario.

Por la seguridad de todos los alumnos, les pedimos respetar nuestro horario de entrada a las 7:55 a.m. Los anuncios matutinos comienzan a las 8:25 a.m.


La hora de salida es a las 3:50 p.m. Los alumnos que no utilizan el transporte escolar no pueden permanecer en el campus después de la salida una vez que salgan del edificio. Deben caminar directamente a casa o ser recogidos por sus padres puntualmente a las 3:50 p.m.

Gracias por su continuo apoyo para ayudarnos a mantener nuestro campus seguro y como un lugar donde el aprendizaje es la prioridad.

Información Importante del Campus

Deseamos compartir varios recordatorios importantes y actualizaciones escolares. Por favor, revisen cuidadosamente la siguiente información.


Horario Escolar
Las puertas abren a las 7:55 a. m.
La salida es a las 3:50 p. m.

Debido a las bajas temperaturas, les pedimos que se aseguren de recoger a los alumnos a tiempo. Los scholars deben ir directamente a casa y no quedarse en el parque, tiendas locales, la iglesia frente a la escuela ni en el YMCA.


Recordatorios y Noticias de la Oficina

  • La oficina permanecerá cerrada hasta las 8:30 a. m. Comenzaremos a recibir a padres y visitantes a partir de las 8:30 a. m. para priorizar la seguridad de los estudiantes durante su llegada.
  • No se permite a los padres entregar objetos después de las 10:00 a. m. para minimizar las interrupciones en el campus. Asegúrense de que los estudiantes salgan de casa con todo lo que necesitan para el día.
  • La oficina cierra a las 3:00 p. m. todos los días para preparar la salida de los estudiantes. Cualquier recogida anticipada debe realizarse antes de las 3:00 p. m.
  • Todas las solicitudes de citas con los directores, subdirectores y profesores deben programarse con anticipación llamando a la oficina o enviando un correo electrónico. Tengan en cuenta que los directores podrían no estar disponibles para atender visitas sin cita previa.


Actualizaciones del Código de Vestimenta

Recordatorio de Días de Jeans

Guias del Código de Vestimenta
Mientras continuamos trabajando juntos para mantener un ambiente de aprendizaje enfocado y respetuoso, les pedimos amablemente que revisen cada mañana el código de vestimenta de su scholar para asegurarse de que sea apropiado para la escuela.

Recordatorios clave:

  • Los pantalones de uniforme son requeridos diariamente. Asegúrense de que sean de calidad de uniforme y no jeans negros.

  • Los jeans solo están permitidos los lunes, miércoles y viernes cuando el scholar use la camisa de espíritu asignada.

  • Las camisas deben ir fajadas y los scholars deben portar su gafete (lanyard) alrededor del cuello en todo momento.

  • Los scholars deben llegar a la escuela limpios y presentables.

Presentable significa:

  • El color del cabello debe ser un color natural para evitar distracciones.

  • Las alumnas deben evitar maquillaje excesivo y uñas largas que puedan causar distracciones.

  • Se permiten aretes en las orejas; sin embargo, no se permiten aretes o perforaciones en cejas, nariz, mejillas, labios u otras áreas del rostro, ya que causan distracciones.

Su apoyo nos ayuda a mantener un ambiente donde los scholars estén listos para aprender y a minimizar distracciones durante el tiempo de instrucción. Gracias por su colaboración y apoyo continuo.


Lineamientos de Almuerzo y Refrigerios
Para garantizar la seguridad de los scholars y cumplir con las expectativas de la cafetería, tengan en cuenta lo siguiente:

  • Los refrigerios deben ser únicamente tamaño snack, cerrados y sellados.

  • No se permiten múltiples refrigerios del mismo tipo (por ejemplo, se permite una bolsa de papas fritas, pero no varias).

  • No se permite compartir alimentos durante el almuerzo.


Recordatorio de Seguridad en Mochilas
Por favor revisen diariamente la mochila de su alumno para asegurarse de que solo traiga artículos necesarios para la escuela. También revisen que no oculten objetos en el fondo de la mochila, en las chamarras o en los zapatos. Los vapeadores, así como cualquier tipo de arma, están estrictamente prohibidos y resultarán en una asignación automática a DAEP y transferencia o revocación de magnet. Greiner es un campus seguro, y traer artículos o sustancias prohibidas no está permitido. Ayúdenos a mantener un entorno seguro para todos los alumnos.


Gracias por su continuo apoyo y colaboración. Si tienen alguna pregunta, por favor comuníquense con la oficina escolar.
