March 28- April 1, 2016
March 28th marks the mid point of the 5th grading period. Please log onto Parent Connection and check your child's average in each class. Teachers will issue a paper progress report for any course below 70%. The current grading cycle ends on April 15th.
This week is our first round of STAAR testing. March 29th consists of our 7th graders taking the writing portion and our 8th graders taking the math portion. March 30th our 8th graders will take the reading test. We ask that all students arrive on time to school, well rested. The test is four hours in length and every student needs 1-2 pencils for the exam. Backpacks are optional for students on testing days. They are encouraged to bring a book to read, should they finish early.
Our orchestra performed last week at UIL and all three groups earned straight 1's! We are so fortunate to have so many students participate in our music programs at HGMS. Congratulations to Brenda Johnson and Jessica Lee on their hard work in getting the kids ready for UIL. Mrs. Diaz, our Assistant Principal, recorded a short segment of the performance. I continue to be amazed at the level in which the students can play! Enjoy the short clip.
Have a wonderful week!
It's a GREAT day to be a Gladiator!
