GMS Family,

As the leaves change and the crisp air ushers in a new season, we are reminded of the growth and hard work happening here at Greeneville Middle School. Just like the vibrant transformation outside, our students and staff are embracing this time of year with dedication and enthusiasm in the classroom and beyond. It’s a time of progress, learning, and renewal as we continue to nurture a strong, supportive environment for all our learners.

With winter approaching, we are excited for upcoming opportunities to support our student-athletes in various winter sports. We encourage everyone to cheer on our teams and help build a sense of community spirit. Additionally, as the holidays near, there will be many chances to come together as a GMS family—whether through school events, community service, or simply taking time to appreciate the season with one another. Let’s continue working hard and supporting each other during this wonderful time of change and unity!

Sincerely,

GMS Admin Team

If you are seeking assistance for more than one student, please fill out a form BELOW for EACH student (GMS student only).

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.

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!

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.

Teresa is amazing! She has been learning about the special education files. She helps me when she can throughout the school day. Teresa works well with the students with IEPs and 504 Plans as well as students who do not have special needs. She does a fantastic job in teaching math skills during Devil Time/Intervention class. She takes initiative to help students and staff alike.

Any student-athlete needing to drop off items in the locker room during arrival will be allowed to do so during the last 5 minutes of morning bus duty. The doors will open at 7:30 and close at 7:35. This will be the only time student athletes are allowed in the locker room areas in the mornings.

Dropping off equipment is not an excuse for a tardy to Devil Time.

If your student requires any daily medications, As-Needed Meds, or a diagnosis that requires any medical needs please reach out to Nurse Megan as soon as possible.

Any further questions please call GMS or email Nurse Megan at venerablem@gcschools.net

Families please remember that students should not carry medication with them in their backpack. This includes prescriptions and OTC medications. Everything should go through our nurse.
