As we slowly begin to return to a sense of normalcy, we want to express our gratitude for the resilience and patience our community has shown during these times. It has been a challenging period, but together we are moving forward. Grade cards will be going out on October 25th, and we encourage you to take this opportunity to check in on your student’s progress. Whether it’s celebrating achievements or identifying areas for growth, now is the perfect time for reflection and conversation.

This is also a time to think about where we are focusing our efforts. As we balance school, work, and family life, let’s ensure we are spending time where it’s needed most. Whether it’s supporting academic growth, building relationships, or simply taking a moment to rest, prioritizing our well-being is key as we move ahead together. Thank you for your continued dedication and support as we strive to make this school year a success for all.

Sincerely,

GMS Admin Team

The giving tree was established by Greeneville Middle Schol to assist our students this holiday season. This form will be kept confidential between the school counselor and the family. If you are seeking assistance for more than one student, please fill out a form BELOW for EACH student (GMS student only).
Please complete this form by 11/08/2024 to be a part of this Giving Tree.

Reminder students are dismissed to their classrooms by 7:34. All students must be in their classrooms prior to the tardy bell at 7:40 to be counted present for the day.

Flu vaccine packets were sent home last week. Turn these in by Monday Oct. 21. Flu Vaccine clinic will be October 24th.

Due to many allergies and the abundance of pressing the spray button lately, we are asking you to make sure your student DOES NOT bring sprays to school in their backpack. Any being seen or used will be taken to the main office. Thank you!

Congratulations to our new Girls and Boys Basketball team members!

Any student-athlete not currently in another sport may participate

In order to provide all students with the opportunity to obtain extra help with homework, research time, and/or remediation, our school will provide an afterschool program. This program takes place on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays after school from 2:40pm to 4:40pm. The following link will provide you with the days we are open: https://tinyurl.com/2024-25RISECalendar The After-School Program is open to students by application only. If you choose to sign up for this program, you are required to attend. Teachers with experience in all subjects are available.
Students residing within the city limits of Greeneville will be provided bus transportation to their homes following the program. The buses will load at approximately 4:30 pm. Car riders should be signed out by a parent or guardian between 4:25 and 4:30 at the back door of the commons area of the building.

If your child is to participate in this program, fill in the appropriate information completely. If your child does not have permission on file, he/she will not be allowed to stay after school for the program. If you have any questions, please contact Mrs. Andrea Tolley at tolleya@gcschools.net.

Chris Reid

Synergizing

Chris Reid always puts our students and staff first! On four occasions this week, I sent Chris an email asking him to help with various small tasks (fixing wobbly desks, adjusting thermostats, finding additional spray bottles, moving cases of bottled water). Each time, within minutes, Chris was taking care of the issue. He is always pleasant and looking for ways to help our building run smoothly. Thank you, Chris, for being such a great team member!
