Happy Sunday GRHS Longhorns,

Our Longhorns sure "GOT" talent...and boy did they "BRING IT" this past week! CTE, DECA, SKILLSUSA, Orchestra, Dance, Art-VASE, and athletics all did amazing! These Longhorns (and their teachers/coaches) are ON FIRE in and out of the classroom! Check out all the accolades below! I am super proud of their hard work and dedication!

Shout out to Mrs. Claudia Urbina who was named the SkillsUSA District Advisor of the year for District 9! Thank you for all you do for your students; this award is well deserved!

Each morning the tardy bell rings at 8:15am and announcements begin. If you happen to be running late that day, and are still in the hallway for a tardy, please make sure you are stopping and pausing (quietly) during the pledges and moment of silence. Once this is over you are welcome to head to class. I am asking all adults and students to please be respectful of this expectation moving forward. Thanks.

Course Selection and Counselor Schedules:

22-23 Course Selection is in FULL swing, which means our counselors are out of their offices MOST of the day. They meet one-on-one with EVERY student to ensure they are set up for success (and graduation) here at GRHS. In the interim, if you have a question, their awesome Admin Assistant - Mrs. Ware, will be happy to assist you/your child. Her contact info is here, nware@lcisd.org and will also be linked in the counselors "out of office reply" for easy access for you.

If you do not have an ID at this point, (because you have lost BOTH of them that we gifted you) you will need to purchase a new one for $5 in the library from 8:00-8:15am.

If you choose not to, there will be a HOLD placed on your account for the end of year. (exemptions/graduation/final grades, etc)

• No ID = No Tech! ID's are mandatory everyday! No more temporaries will be issued. If you need a NEW ID/Lanyard- can be purchased for $5 in the library from 8:00-8:15 daily! Lanyards/ID's should be on the second you step through the doors each day. Please make sure you are following this rule as well as being in dress code and to ensure that you are not written up for non compliance.

The front office is open daily Monday- Friday 8:00-4:00pm to assist you. You can also directly email us or call 832-223-4200 during the same hours. We are happy to help!

GRHS Timeline for Course Selection for the 2022-23 School Year

• Starting February 7th-March 11th: Counselors will begin meeting one on one with every student about their classes for next year. This is a several week process. We start with juniors, then sophomores, and finally freshman. During this one on one meeting, counselors verify with the student the classes they chose and answer any questions they have.
