Gladiator News
Dr. Hector P. Garcia Middle School ~ Northside ISD
February 5-9, 2018
This week our current sixth grade students received information from their counselor, Mrs. Nieto, on course registration for their 7th grade year. They took home a copy of the course selection worksheet to discuss with parents. Students should return the completed form to their PE coach. (For students that are not enrolled in PE may return their form to the counseling office.)
A copy of the course selection worksheet for 2018-2019 seventh graders can be found here: https://goo.gl/A6EZmA
For more information, contact Adrianna Nieto in the counseling office.
Our current 8th grade students received information on course registration for high school from Brandeis and O'Connor counselors. Ask your child about which endorsement their interested in and what classes are available at their perspective high school.
