Good Evening Tiger Family,
The moment we've all been waiting for is finally here! Tomorrow, we open the doors to the 2025-26 school year and our new home at 2201 Idlewild Blvd. Same Tiger spirit, same start time, but now in a modern, state-of-the-art space built for learning and growth. I'm thrilled to welcome you to this exciting new chapter for Walker-Grant Middle School!
Transition Day and the First Day of School
On Monday, August 18, we'll welcome our 6th graders for Transition Day, where they'll meet teachers, explore classes, and learn our routines. Then on Tuesday, August 19, our 7th and 8th graders join in as the entire Tiger Family comes together to officially launch the 2025-26 school year in our new home.
Responsibility-Centered Discipline (RCD)
This year, we’re continuing Responsibility Centered Discipline (RCD) to help our Tigers shine! Review our school-wide foundations with your child so they can start strong, practicing our core values of Accountability, Perseverance, Empathy, and Respect every day.
