Good Evening, Grant Community!
As we enter the fifth week of this grading period, it’s a perfect time to support our students’ academic progress. Progress reports were made available last week, and the data shows a strong need for additional support through teacher-led tutorials. We encourage you to review your child’s grades and communicate with their teachers about tutoring opportunities. Your involvement and support make a difference—thank you!
Halloween Information:
Halloween is coming up this Thursday! While we love to see our students having fun, maintaining a productive learning environment is our top priority. Students may dress up for Halloween but must follow these guidelines:
- No face paint
- No masks of any kind
- No fake weapons or props
- No inflatable costumes
- All costumes must adhere to the dress code: Costumes must not promote violence or feature inappropriate attire (e.g., spaghetti straps, house shoes, exposed midriffs).
If a student’s costume does not comply with these guidelines, parents will be contacted to bring a change of clothes. Thank you for helping make this a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone while keeping the focus on learning.
Trail of Treats:
Join us this Wednesday from 6:00 - 7:00 in our hallways for our second annual trail of treats. All students from our feeder campuses have been invited. Costumes are encouraged!
Share Your Christmas:
Over the past two years, Grant Middle School has donated over $20,000 and nearly 1,000 pounds of food to the Coastal Bend Food Bank’s annual Share Your Christmas food drive. For two consecutive years, our campus has proudly won the “Big School” category and been recognized in the local news. This event offers a unique opportunity for our students to grow in empathy, community engagement, and social responsibility.
The competition between schools will conclude on December 6, and a follow-up email detailing our initiatives to support this important cause will be sent tomorrow. We’re excited to come together as a school community to make a difference once again!
Basketball Tryouts:
Tryouts are quickly approaching. Both boys and girls have been given information pertaining to tryouts. All students must sign up with the coaches so they can ensure those participating are cleared in Rank One.
Let's make it a great week!
Your Proud Principal,
Mr. Raymond Garza
