September 5-9, 2016
Greetings Gladiator Community,
This week marks the end of our third week and the midpoint of our first grading period. Check Parent Connection for updated grades. Reminder: you must create a new account every school year.
Often times parents think that once their child moves to middle school parent involvement is not wanted. That is not the case at HGMS! We welcome and invite parental involvement in a variety of ways: assisting in the teacher workroom, helping in the front office, working in the library, being a part of PTA, having a voice on the School Advisory Team and assisting with events. If you would like to be involved at HGMS, we'd love to have you! Click on the link and select an area that interest you: http://goo.gl/e392ts
If you are interested in assisting with Gladiator Games this year, attend an informational meeting on Monday, September 12th from 8:00-9:00 am in the library. Gladiator Games is a PTA sponsored event and we need parent volunteers to make it happen!
The article below coincides with Gladiator Grit and developing a growth mindset. It explains the importance of the language we use with our children and how words can help foster a growth mindset.

Get Involved!
We are currently seeking volunteers to serve in several positions and would LOVE to have you join us! What better way to get to know other parents and get involved with your child's middle school education than to volunteer with the PTA? The HGMS PTA Board typically meets on the 2nd Monday of each month and different positions can accommodate even the busiest schedules.
*VP of Fundraising
*Gladiator Games Chairperson
If you or someone you know is interested in volunteering, you can submit your PTA Board Application online today. We look forward to meeting you!
