GT Parent meeting
If your child is already identified and being served through our advanced academics (either GT LEAD or ASPIRE) this is not a meeting you'll need to attend.
PTA winter social- Blacklight dance...
Math Lab
We will begin spring Math Lab on January 30th. If your child enjoys challenging him or herself with math problems, this could be an interesting after-school activity for s/he to attend. Please do check with your child, because if they aren't interested no amount of cajoling on our part will make this fun for them if they don't want to be there! If you plan to send your child, you need to plan to volunteer to help because we can't do math lab without volunteers!
We have so many great activities after school, it is impossible to find a day of the week that doesn't interfere with another activity. Monday is the best option based on available space for the spring.

Grapevine High School Theatre will perform the Disney musical "Beauty and the Beast"
on February 2,3,4 & 6th at 7pm.
Musical accompaniment by GHS Band.
Tickets available online beginning January 19that www.ghstheatre.org
