Gladiator News
Dr. Hector P. Garcia Middle School
April 4- 8, 2016
April 4-8 is bus driver and assistant appreciation week. Driving 100,000+ students to and/or from school is a daunting task! We are fortunate to live in a district that offers this service for our families. Next week would be a perfect time to show our drivers how much we appreciate them and their valuable role in our children's education.
If your student does not ride the bus in the AM and you drop them off, please remind them to enter the building through the doors in the cafeteria foyer. (Best place to drop them off is at the flag pole.) We have seen an increased number of students in the hallway and computer labs in the morning. All students need to be in the cafeteria until they are released to their assigned hallway or tutoring at 7:50 am.
University Health System is offering a convenient way for parents to stay up-to-date with their childs' immunizations, flu shots, and physicals. They will dispatch a mobile clinic to six NISD campuses in April. They will be at Garcia on April 20th from 2:30-6:00. See link for required immunizations and more details.
