A Message From Heather Patterson, GRHS Principal
Happy Monday GRHS Longhorns,
Today we honor and celebrate the contributions of Dr. King and the legacy he leaves for all of us to continue. As Dr. King reminds us "We must remember that intelligence is not enough. Intelligence plus character—that is the goal of true education." What he is saying is our choices matter....every day...what you say, what you do, and how you act all matter. Choices have consequences...whether those consequences are good or bad depends on you. It is our responsibility to use our intelligence and character to make the best choices we can each day. So choose wisely.
Tomorrow we have 50 LCISD administrators coming to see the GR-eatness in your classrooms...make sure you are bringing your best decisions, good behavior, and showing them what academic GR-eatness looks like. I have already warned them that their IDs must be on and visible...the same expectations for everyone that steps on campus! :)
Safety and Behavior Reminders:
- Correct IDs on at all times when you enter our building.
- Your words matter...make sure what is coming out of your mouth is helpful, productive, and appropriate. You have all signed off on the student code of conduct in your beginning of year forms.
- Do not open exterior doors for ANYONE (even if you know them) - if it is locked, they must walk around and check in through the front office. There are signs posted on the door...follow them please.
- ATTENTION STUDENT DRIVERS - Student drivers, it was better this week..but we have a little more work to do. Please stay in your lane when entering and exiting the parking lots. Be patient, and wait your turn by alternating who pulls out next. Student driving and parking at the Ranch are just that...a privilege...not a right. There will be no more warnings, just the consequence of losing the right to drive/park at the Ranch.
- PARENTS DROPPING OFF/PICKING UP STUDENTS: Please make sure you are in a spot and NOT blocking any driveway areas so that people can get in and out of the parking lot. You cannot block any parking spaces, as this causes my staff to not be able to park, get in the building, and be on duty. Thanks!
Congrats to our 2023 GRHS UIL Cheer Team! They performed in Fort Worth on Saturday and made the finals. They ended up placing 14th out of 73 tough 6A-D2 schools, and I had the pleasure of watching it firsthand, and they did a GR-eat job leaving it ALL on the mat! Thanks to our coaches, parents, all the girls! Special shoutout to our Class of 2023 seniors for bringing your SHINE to the Ranch over the past 4 years, your hard work and dedication are appreciated! Looking forward ot seeing a couple of you continue cheering at the next level!
New Year - Same Rule! ID Weekly Reminder
ID MUST be worn visibly on the top half of your body EVERY DAY! I announce this EVERY SINGLE MORNING. If you cannot find yours please scan the Blue/Yellow QR code in this newsletter, in the classrooms, or hanging in the front of the school service window to buy one. We will continue to do ID sweeps, and anyone without one will be charged $5 and given a new one. This is NOT optional, as it is part of dress code, but more importantly a safety measure so we can quickly see who belongs and who does not on campus.
