MIDDLE SCHOOL SOUTH

Hello GMSS families,

Happy Spring! I hope that you all enjoyed the long weekend and the nice weather. WE are in our last week prior to spring break! It is important to hang in there :) Spring break is Monday, April 8th- Friday, April 12th. Students will return to the building on Monday, April 15th. With only just 6 weeks left of this school year, after the break, there is much to do! Please make sure to attend to the newsletter, talking points and emails.

Please take note of the FUN nights and 8th Grade Dance in the dates below!

Have a fabulous week!

Awards Nigh! GMSS hosts an awards night for students that have an average of a 3.5 through the first 3 quarters. This night is Tuesday, May 21st at the Lincoln High School Auditorium. In addition, students earn the right to be taken out by family members for a celebration on Thursday, May 23rd. Students will be posted this week and you will receive an invitation to the awards festivities.

Great work to all of our winners.

BUSES

As a reminder, please know the time of your student's bus stop. We are happy to offer Here Comes the Bus as an aide for parents tracking their student's bus, but there may be some times when the app is not exact. We certainly do not want students to miss the bus, so please be sure your student is at their stop at the scheduled time. To remind yourself of your pickup time, visit our Transfinder page.

HEART & PRIDE

The Heart & Pride Nomination Form will remain available year-round and is open to any member of our staff, regardless of position.
