Grizzly Gold-Away
Our December Grizzly Gold-Away was a HUGE success!! We are still very proud of our Grizzlies and the positive impact they made all around our campus. Part of this success was because of our great parents like you. We could not have done it without you!
We are very excited to announce that TWO more Grizzly Gold-Away opportunities are coming soon!! If you would like to help us with the success of the Gold-Away, please consider clicking on the link below to donate an item or two for the Gold-Away.
As always, we appreciate the support and gratitude from our parent community. Working together as a team positively impacts the success of our students both academically and socially.

Volunteers are welcome to come out in the mornings and help with both the unassisted and assisted car rider lines. It will especially help closer to the time when Rangers and staff have to go in. Sign up below if you are able to assist. You can also drop your student off, park, and then come open doors.
Additionally, parents are always welcome to contact the Humble ISD non-emergency number at 281-641-7900 to request additional support in preventing a backup exiting the school, especially as it gets closer to WLMS arrivals.
Wise Wednesday Spring Edition
Dear Parents,
The graduation endorsements that students will learn about on Wise Wednesday during the Spring Semester are Business and Industry (3rd 9 weeks) and Arts & Humanities (4th 9 weeks). If you have a career in either of these Endorsement areas we need your help! We are currently in the Business and Industry endorsement and on March 23rd we will introduce Arts and Humanities . We would love for our parents to be involved in our Den Time Career Exploration by recording a brief Flip Grid clip stating your name, your career, and a one sentence description of your career. Also, make sure and give a shout out to your kiddos! You can make your video fun by including your uniform, place of business, or a special vehicle you drive. Visit www.flipgrid.com and type the appropriate join code for your career area and guest password Grizzlies21. If you have any questions please contact your counselors. We are looking forward to learning about your careers!
