Gladiator News
Dr. Hector P. Garcia Middle School
February 20-24, 2017
Friday, February 24th marks the end of our current grading period. Please check Parent Connection for your child's current average.
Our staff and students have been hit hard this semester with an array of illnesses. If your child is going to be out for consecutive days, notify our attendance clerk and your child's teachers. Information regarding attendance policies and procedures can be found on our website. www.nisd.net/garcia I'm sure our teachers would appreciate any tissues and hand sanitizer for their classroom.
Eighth graders will enter their high school course requests on Thursday, February 23rd during their ELA class. All course cards should be returned to their teacher by Wednesday. Any changes needed after February 23rd should be directed to the high school counselor.
Our Chick-Fil-A spirit night was well attended, thank you! All proceeds from that event will be used to reward our student body for perfect attendance.
Thank you to all the parents and community members that donated soup and salad for our Thursday treats. Our staff is appreciative of all the goodies and the parental support.
Good luck to our tennis team this week as they compete for the district championship!
