Quarter 1 Report Cards will be coming home with GMS students on Thursday, 10/23.

Past due school fee notices will come home as well.

Also coming home are NWEA Map Progress Reports for students. GMS students take this assessment in both reading and math. This is just one measure of student growth that we utilize and also this assessment provides us with valuable instructional information specific to your student. If your student was not enrolled in early fall, or they had repeated absences, they will not have a score as they did not complete the assessment.

Greetings parents. We are gearing up for another exciting year of Falcon Basketball! Boys Middle School basketball will officially start November 3, from 6:30P to 8:00P. Per OHSAA rules students must have a physical before they can participate. Physical forms can be picked up in the main office. Coach Shane Jenkins, 7th, and Coach Issac Maurice 8th, will be leading the Middle School teams this year. Thank you and Go Falcons!

Head Coach Scott Shirk
