The Gator Gazette

As we celebrate Teacher Appreciation Week, please take a moment to THANK YOUR TEACHERS! An excellent way to show teachers your appreciation is by taking the time to stop by to thank them and share how they have impacted you. So, Gators let's get out there and share how much we appreciate all our teachers do because GMS has AWESOME TEACHERS!

Wednesday is National School Nurses Day - Thank you Ms. Carson and Mrs. Martinez for helping our Gators stay healthy!

Registration for the 2024-25 school year is now open! Returning families will log into their current Skyward account and register for next year. 8th Graders will register at their new high school.

Any questions please email glenviewregistration@emsd37.org or call 309-755-1919.

The Bethany Mobile Dental Clinic will visit Glenview on Wednesday, May 22. This is to provide dental services to children who are uninsured or cannot find a dental provider who accepts Medicaid. Please contact the GMS Main Office at 309.755.1919 if you would like your GMS student to participate.

5th graders will need to submit a physical and proof of immunizations before October 15 - it's a great idea to get this done over the summer!

If your student is attending any of the programming hosted by EMSD over the summer, each program will have a set of devices that students will use during that program. If your student will not be in the district next year, please have your student let the technician know during the check-in process. We thank you in advance for your cooperation.

• Viewing the gradebook (5th/6th grade - use the standard view. 7th/8th grade - use the assessment view
