Gladiator News
Dr. Hector P. Garcia Middle School ~ Northside ISD
January 29- February 2, 2018
Friday was our annual career day event for our students. We had close to 80 parents and community members sharing their educational background and career experiences with our students. Thank you for taking the time to educate our students about future career opportunities for them.
Our 8th graders heard from students and staff members at the 5 magnet schools in our district. Each magnet school will have open houses coming up in the next couple of weeks. The schedule can be found here: https://nisd.net/news/articles/74766
It's a GREAT day to be a Gladiator!

Bad Weather Make Up Day
On January 16, NISD closed schools due to bad weather conditions and safety considerations. Due to state law and the required 75,600 minutes of instruction time needed each year, that day will need to be made up.
NISD is announcing that students will make up that day on Thursday, June 7. Originally the first makeup day on the calendar was set for Monday, Feb. 19; however, that day had already been slated for staff development and special presenters and plans were already in place. It was determined to designate the second makeup day on the calendar, which is June 7. Feb. 19 will remain a student holiday.
“Please know that much thought and conversation has gone into this decision, said Dr. Brian Woods, Superintendent. “ While I know there will be many opinions, the decision was made in what I believe is the best interest of our students and staff.”
