Happy Sunday GRHS Longhorns,

In the words of the GR-eat Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.....we are going to KEEP MOVING! I apologize for the lateness in the GRHS news this week! I was in Dallas with our UIL Cheer Squad (aka - GRHS history makers) and then took a little time to enjoy my own family. I heard and saw through Twitter that we had LOTS of winning and medaling for the Ranch this weekend from sports, to clubs, and our organizations all competing! *Remember, I send out updates and results as soon as coaches and sponsors get them to me, and sometimes that is after the news for that week! Thanks for your patience, as we will always do our best to highlight our Longhorns accomplishments.

Tardies and ID's:

Tardies are alive and well, so please make sure you are following the bell schedule that has been posted since day one. See the tardy consequences below! Detention, ISS, and Saturday clock hours are in full effect!

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)

• REMEMBER: NO ID ON = No Phone/Airpods/Headphones! ID's are mandatory! 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

• Presentation NOW posted (below) from the January 11th Parent Information Night at GRHS STUDENTS please watch this PRIOR to meeting with your counselor in the computer labs starting next week, so that they will have more time in the labs to help you choose classes for next year!

• January 18-February 1st: Students will be going to the computer labs in their English classes to meet with counselors to input classes for next year. Counselors will be in the computer lab with students walking them through the process and answering any questions students have.

• February 3rd: Counselors will be available right outside the cafeteria during all lunches to answer any questions from students about courses.

• February 4th: The LAST day for students to enter and/or make changes to classes in Skyward for next school year. After this date, any changes will be made through their counselor.

• 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.

Howdy INCOMING FRESHMAN Parents...

It's that time of the year. Time for your 8th grade student to pick their endorsement for High School. It's an exciting time. I know that the Reading Counselors have been amazing educating students in their science classes about endorsements and different pathways of studies. Thank you for that RJH Counselors.

What we wanted to do is offer this form below in case you had a certain question that they could not answer. Below you will see links to a form that you can fill out and we can send back an answer to your question or concern. Please click on the link below that goes with your last name. Our counseling staff at GR see's students based on their LAST NAME, so make sure you are looking at that in the links below.

Once there, order the book, any accessories you’d like, and even a SENIOR Tribute Ad for that special C/O 2022 grad!

Get yours TODAY!

• No ID = NO PHONE USE (even at lunch) If you refuse to put them up, it's a write up.
• Phones must be put away at all times in the classrooms, unless there is an instruction purpose GIVEN by the teacher and the sign is on GREEN. If you refuse to follow this, it will be a write up.
• Ignoring teachers/staff when they are asking you to put on ID or to put your phone up will be a write up. (That's just disrespect)
• In the hallways without an ID AND a pass during class time, will be a write up. Parents- if you wonder why grades are slipping...it's their personal devices and lack of urgency to participate in class.
• Instigating, participating, or videoing an altercation (regardless of how small) will be a write up. If you are part of a fight, you will be placed at ALC.

Let me say...that you are BETTER than this, but the lack of respect (post COVID) that many are showing is not fair to the MAJORITY of our Longhorns and Staff that are here putting in the work each and every day. Do better...because you ARE better!

• LANYARDS W/GRHS ISSUED ID - ALL GRHS STUDENTS SHOULD NOW HAVE AN ID AND LANYARD AND ARE EXPECTED TO BE WEARING IT 100% OF THE TIME INSIDE OUR BUILDING!
• NEED A NEW LANYARD/ID BRING $5 to the library between 8:00-8:15am!
• GRHS ID's must be VISIBLY WORN on the TOP half of your body. If you refuse, you will have disciplinary consequences. NO more temporaries will be given out.

Remember Longhorns, the earlier you order the better the price of the book! Order today!

The girls soccer team competed in I-10 shootout this past weekend. The Longhorns dropped their first game of bracket play Thursday night to cross town rival Foster HS 0-2 after a tough physical game. The girls bounced back Friday morning to defeat 3-0 when they took on Manvel. Annie Schoditch scored 2 goals, with Emma Garza adding one. Hayley Moffett, Bailey Crouch and Marcela Martinez all assisted goals on the game. Giselle Kattan and Mackenzie Smith kept the net clean for the Longhorns. Saturday morning the girls had to fight the 25 mile hour winds and dropped a close game 1-2 to Cinco Ranch. Bailey Crouch scored the lone goal off a corner kick for the Longhorns. The girls host the Elsik Rams Tuesday night at home! Come out and support your Longhorns.
