Good evening, Trojans. This is principal Matthew Price with your weekly announcements

 

As we near the end of Semester 1, please remember that if your student needs help with organization and meeting deadlines, a student agenda can be purchased on our website through the Online School Payments for $9.00. Once the planner is purchased, it will be delivered to your student. The planner is Garner specific and can be a very useful tool to help your student keep track of their schoolwork.

This week is our last week of classes before winter break. Students will return to school on January 6th. Also, this Wednesday is our 8-period day for remediation. This is a reminder that this day is a final due date for any materials that were due since the last 8-period day. It is not the only time to make up work. You should be checking PowerSchool and working with your teachers to plan to be caught up by the end of the period on Wednesday.

 

2025-2026 school assignments have been updated in PowerSchools. Please review the information now to make sure it’s correct. If your student’s next year school assignment lists another school other than GMHS, feel free to apply for a magnet transfer. If you have any questions about this, please reach out to Ms. Warren.

 

Mark your calendar for the upcoming FAFSA workshop! Ms. Rivera will be hosting a FAFSA workshop Wednesday, December 18th from 6-7pm in the media center to assist students & parents in completing FAFSA applications.
