Dress According to Handbook
Too many of our scholars are deliberately violating dress code expectations, as a result dress code will be in full affect with immediate consequences.
Our dress code colors are Hunter Green or Black with khakis.
If a scholar is out of dress code we will attempt to correct it with uniforms we may have left on campus.
If not scholar will be allowed to call home for someone too bring a change of clothing.
Student Code of Conduct
I'm asking, that we please have discussions with our scholars about the importance of not fighting while on campus. We will not tolerate fighting of any kind. We are servant leaders and find ways to help each other and to be kind to each other. If your scholar feels that they are being harassed, bullied or mistreated by peers or staff they need to let an adult know and not take matters into their own hands.
If scholars fight and don't allow the campus adults an opportunity to intervene and help resolve the issue the proper way we will issue the maximum consequences. Please help us out with this matter as we go forth.

A Note From Principal Brown
This is a week of thanksgiving to all of our staff for All that you do. We ask a lot of you, but you always come out on top. Enjoy your jean day passes for the week.
We had a lot going on last week, due to a lot of students and staff out due to illness. Hang in there we will be getting a break here real soon.
Again, thank you parents for your continued support. If you need me for anything, please don't hesitate to reach out to me @ 409-761-3500 or frankbrown@gisd.org.
