Principal's Message
Thank you for attending the 7th & 8th grade open house this week. It was nice to see so many students attend with their parents.
All 8th graders may purchase a class shirt from their math teacher. We will have special days throughout the school year where the 8th graders may wear their shirt along with their PE shorts to school. The first of these days will be on Monday, September 9th. Proceeds from the sale of these shirts go towards the 8th grade dance and 8th grade field day.
This week we had our first of 11 GRIT schedules. GRIT schedule is a 30 minute block of time where students may connect with another adult on campus and have purposeful activities around kindness, anti-bullying, safety, teamwork, on-line safety and peer pressure. This weeks lesson was a variety of get to know you activities. September 26th will be our next GRIT schedule. Students will watch the safety video produced by the district.
We encourage all our students to register for Gladiator Games! Gladiator Games will be held on Friday, October 25th. Gladiator Games is a grade level competition. The first way to earn points for your grade level is to register. Registration forms were sent home in the first day packet, you can also register online at www.hgmspta.com Students needing additional registration forms can stop by the front office. In addition to Gladiator Games the day will be centered around anti drug awareness to kick off Red Ribbon Week.
Next week starts our football and volleyball games. Students are able to stay after school and attend the games. Football begins at 4:00 PM and volleyball starts at 5:00 PM. Student admission price is $2.00. They may also bring money for snacks.
Please download the School Messenger App and join our school group: ETE5UX. Since this is a new form of communication, I will continue to email the link to the weekly newsletter until we completely understand the School Messenger App. Thank you for your patience. https://vimeo.com/schoolmessenger/parentpreferences
It's a GREAT day to be a Gladiator!
