The first day of the 2024-25 school year is September 5th! The school day starts at 8:10 a.m. The doors will open at 7:45 a.m.

Sneak Peek is an opportunity for all incoming 6th grade students to get acquainted with their new school. During this event they will meet staff, 8th grade mentor students and learn about our programs and the layout of our building. This will take place from 9 a.m.-12:00 p.m. on Wednesday, August 28th at Greenacres Middle School. Parents will drop their student off and then pick them up at the conclusion of the event.

Last year John L. Scott, Oral Surgery Plus, Gee Automotive, Boards by Brit, Lyte Balance, and Lee & Hayes were gracious enough to donate money to purchase t-shirts for every student at GMS. We are looking for more corporate sponsors to do that this year. If you, or someone you know, is interested please contact Brenda Truong at btruong@cvsd.org.

Busses will drop off on the east side of the building and parent drop-off will take place on the west side of the building. Please be on the lookout for more communication from the transportation department. (Bus Routes and Map)
