On January 8th, 8th graders will see a presentation from HS counselors about High School scheduling. Middle school staff will assist students in scheduling and then HS counselors will return on January 23rd to meet with 8th graders who did not submit course requests and answer any questions.

We are excited to invite you to our 8th Grade Parent Night on January 9th at 6:30 PM in the GLHS Auditorium! Join us to learn all about high school scheduling and what to expect as your student transitions to 9th grade.

Following the presentation, join us for a Curriculum Fair in the cafeteria, where you can engage with teachers from various departments and ask any questions you may have. Our school counselors will also be available to support you with any inquiries.

We can’t wait to see you there and help you and your student get ready for high school!
