Hello Longhorn Families,

It is hard to believe that the end of the 1st quarter is here. Friday, October 18th, was the last day. Please take some time to check grades in the myStudent parent portal. If you have any questions regarding grades, please contact the teacher directly. Also, talk with your student about taking advantage of the fresh start this week.

This week is Red Ribbon week, each day students can participate in our themes to team up against drugs. Please also work with your student on our October resiliency skill, Responsible Decision Making. Attached is a flyer to assist you in having thoughtful dialogue at home to reinforce the work we are doing at school.

Thank you for taking the time to read this week’s Longhorn Ledger and for being our partner in your child’s education.

See below for some of this weeks upcoming events.

Football Game: Our last football game will be this Tuesday at Home vs. TEWMS.

Volleyball: Our volleyball team will play Monday for the championship title at River Ridge.

Basketball Tryouts: Will be on 10/18 and 1-/21 @3:30pm in the gym. Make sure all paperwork is completed.

Advent Center Ice Skate Night: Help support are school and join us on 10/25 from 7:30pm-9:30pm for a Halloween skate night.

Thank you for your dedication and partnership in making Dr. John Long Middle School the best place to learn!

With Appreciation,
