GMS Family,

As we enter this festive season, GMS is buzzing with excitement! Our dress-up days are in full swing, showcasing our students' creativity and school spirit. This week also marks the start of CASE testing, giving our students a chance to shine academically and demonstrate their hard work this semester. We’re thrilled to invite you to our upcoming band concert, where our talented musicians will fill the air with holiday cheer. Plus, don’t forget to cheer on our athletes as they compete in holiday tournaments, bringing energy and pride to our school.

Amid all these events, we’re reminded of the special memories we create together as a community. GMS is not just a school—it’s a family and a small yet vital part of the larger Greeneville community. Whether it’s supporting one another during a game, attending concerts, or celebrating milestones, the connections we share go beyond the classroom. Thank you for being part of this incredible journey with us!

Sincerely,

GMS Admin Team

We need your help! We've seen a big increase in the number of students coming to school with uncharged computers and no charger. Unfortunately, we no longer have replacement chargers for use at GMS. Since most classes utilize computers and we have many testing sessions over the next two weeks, please help us by:

• Having your student locate their charger
• Reminding them to fully charge their computer each night
• Having your student bring their charger with them to school each day for afternoon recharging.

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.
