Gladiator News
January 3-January 12, 2023
Hello Garcia Families,
Happy new year Gladiators!! We hope everyone had a restful break with family and friends. We are back and ready to begin the second semester. We want to welcome all our incoming 6th graders, as this is their first newsletter from HGMS. This newsletter comes out each week and contains information about our campus. Please make sure you read through it all each week to stay up to date.
As we begin the second half of our year we wanted to pass along some reminders.
- We do not accept any food deliveries for students
- Please take a moment and resupply your students with their necessary school supplies
- Please be courteous, mindful and patient in our parking lots during drop off and pick up
- Check your students HAC account to keep up with classroom grades
- Join PTA and be involved in our school community!
There is information below regarding Gladiator Camp (incoming 5th graders), Bronco roundup (incoming 9th graders) and AVID!
We are excited to announce a new Clothes Bin on our campus. It is located at the corner of the parking lot as you enter. Thank you to PTA for organizing this opportunity. See information below!

Hello Gladiator Nation!
Final numbers are in from our Gladiator/Color Games and we are so excited to report that we raised $18,548.65! We are so thankful for our amazing Gladiator family and community that always steps up to support us.
After our holiday break, we will distribute Gladiator Grant applications and start working to get that money back into the classrooms. We will also start the process of taking nomination for PTA Board positions. If you have been thinking about getting involved, please email us at hectorgarciapta@gmail.com. We'll gladly answer your questions and see if there is a position that's a fit for you.
We wish everyone a fun and relaxing holiday break and we look forward to seeing everyone in the new year!
Best Wishes,
HGMS PTA
