GMS Falcon Update

Congratulations and well done to our Choir members Mackenzie Crooks, Adelyn Guidera, Rayne Jackson, Ayla Lensman, Lily Parke, Alice Rogers, Juliette Warden, and Juliana Williams who represented GMS at the District 11 Honor Choir Concert yesterday. The group had abbreviated rehearsals due to the weather. Our students and their fellow performers did a great job!

There will be an informational meeting Tuesday, January 14th at 7:00pm to discuss planning for the 8th grade trip in the fall of 2025.

At the meeting you will hear from a representative from K&K Tours and be able to also ask questions or check current fundraising account status.

Quarter 2 Report Cards Will Come Home Thursday, January 16th

Students all have access to Progress Book via their Clever logins. Parents can access through the same login they would have used last year. Any new families should have received an access key on Friday via email from Mr. Guidera.

Frontline Education has released the Progress Book Parent and Student Mobile App (aka Parent Access app) to the Google Play Store and Apple App Store. This app is available for your parents/students to download and use now. For those that choose to download, the app takes the place of the mobile web version of Parent Access that parents and students have long used. In addition, Frontline has produced an overview video that can be shared with your users.
