MIDDLE SCHOOL SOUTH

Good afternoon GMSS families,

Happy Spring Break! Enjoy the time off and safe travels to all that are traveling. School resumes Monday, April 7th- with 7 weeks left of this school year. We are all hopeful that the week will be one of rest and we are all ready to tackle the rest of the quarter! IT will go quickly.

IMPORTANT:

We will begin Ohio State Testing on Wednesday, April 9th. (Please see dates below) It is important to have a charged Chromebook as we do not have loaners to give. Attendance and a good breakfast is a must! We will test each morning!

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!

Have a great weekend and lets hope for that warm weather!
