From the Desk of Ms. Murdock
Hello GMSS families,
I hope you had a great weekend. This morning we had an all school assembly with a guest speaker to share the message of being yourself, avoiding peer pressure and having the guts to that! Our students seemed to enjoy this and did a great job.
KONA ICE will be here on Wednesday during lunches. The cost is $4.00 and this can be cash/card/etc. It is not taken out of the lunch accounts.
We are almost half way through the first quarter of school! As crazy as that sounds, progress of grades will be posted on Monday, September 13th at midnight! It is a good gauge to see how things are starting for students. We are here to support and to help with needed strategies.
The buses are seemingly smoothing out the routes! Big shout out to transportation and thank you for your patience.
Have a fabulous week!
Robin Murdock
From the desk of Mr. Bonath
Hello South Families! We are pleased to announce our clubs and activities available to students - if you have any questions about a club, please reach out to Ms. Bonath [bonatha@gjps.org] or the advisor for each club. See the chart for available times and dates of meetings!
Each week I will share about a way that we recognize students at GMSS - This week’s student recognition update: Academic Award - Honor Roll! At the conclusion of each quarter, grade point averages are calculated and any student with a 3.5 GPA or higher earns Honor Roll. Students are recognized on Honor Roll in several ways - a chromebook sticker is given out to each winner, their names are broadcast in our main lobby in the Academic Hall of Fame, they receive Survivor Team points, and we send a certificate home. Stay tuned for more, next week!
