This Week at GMSS
From the Desk of Ms. Murdock
Good afternoon GMSS families,
Today we met with all 8th grade students- those going to DC and those remaining for DC experience days here. The experience day students should bring home permission slips today for our field trips. We will email more information to the respective groups. Excited for both groups!
Reminder:- We have our Move UP day coming Thursday, April 24th:
8th grade students will shadow careers in take your child to work! ELA teachers have all information needed, but 8th grade students will not be in the building on this day
6th & 7th grade students will spend at least a half day in 7th & 8th grade classrooms being introduced to their life at the next grade level!
Incoming 5th grade students will be in the building for the am to be introduced to GMSS and have questions answered!
Reminder that Monday is a teacher work day and students will be home! The 4th quarter kicks off Tuesday, March 11th! Let's finish strong
Have a great weekend and lets hope for that warm weather!
Robin Murdock
