📸 Spring Individual Pictures – Date Change

We apologize for any confusion, but due to testing schedules, Spring Individual Pictures have been rescheduled to Wednesday, March 11, 2026.

Pictures will be taken on a proof basis, so no money is needed on picture day. Please note that there will be no retakes for spring pictures.

All orders will be processed online through www.cjpphoto.com — please do not send picture money or orders to the school. Proof flyers with your child’s image and ordering instructions will be sent home approximately two weeks after picture day.

Please ensure that students continue practicing and preparing for their UIL events. Most importantly, we encourage everyone to stay safe and warm during this cold weather. Our students are doing a great job, and we are confident they will do very well.

Hello! My name is Joshua Baskin and I am the Head Band Director at Glen Rose Junior High. We are getting excited for next year's beginner band! We have already started the process of getting students placed on an instrument. If your student missed our instrument try out night earlier this month, we will be visiting with them during their music class this week. All students who tried out an instrument will be given a letter letting them know what instrument they will be playing next year by Thursday of this week. Also, on Friday, May 16th from 3:45-6pm, we have invited our instrument supplier, The Band Wagon, to come to GRIS to provide parents with an opportunity to purchase or rent an instrument and supplies for their students. We strive to keep costs low, and The Band Wagon has several cost-effective options to help make providing an instrument more financially feasible. If your student did not sign up for band on their course selection sheet, it is not too late! We can easily change their course selection sheet for them. Joining the 6th grade beginning band is a fun and exciting way to start middle school—and it also helps students do better in school! Studies show that students who participate in music programs like band score higher on standardized tests and are more likely to be ready for college. In fact, music students often score around 20-30 points higher in math and reading than their peers who don’t play an instrument. Being in band also builds responsibility, teamwork, and confidence—all skills that help students succeed in school and beyond. Plus, it's a great way to make new friends and be part of something special. Come join the band and discover the power of music!
