GMS Newsletter

GMS Families,

In order to better meet the needs of our students, GMS students in 7th grade are being asked to take a risk-assessment survey next week in their Seminar class. This survey is completely optional and anonymous. The survey asks students about their experiences with violence and substance use. If you would like to review the survey or if you would prefer your child not take the survey, please contact the GMS office.

Thank you,

Joe Somerville

Principal

As the end of the year quickly approaches, here are some important dates to remember. All books checked out from the Media Center are due by Wednesday, June 1st including any “lost” books or the fines to replace them. The Media Center will be closed for inventory Thursday, June 2nd until the end of the school year.

Please pick up your child’s unused medication from the office by Friday, June 10, 2022. Any medicine left after that date will be discarded.

The last day of the 2021-2022 school year will be Tuesday, June 7th. This will be a half day, dismissing at 12:02 p.m.

We still have many unclaimed items in the lost and found (jewelry, clothing). Students if you are missing anything, please stop in and check the lost and found in the cafeteria and office. UNCLAIMED ITEMS WILL BE DONATED TO CHARITY. Thank you!

Parent Portal is a great way to keep up-to-date on your student's grades and attendance. Please contact the office for your sign-in credentials. Please note that PowerSchool is no longer updating the Parent Portal phone app. The best way to access Parent Portal is through the Gaylord Schools website. Staff email addresses are attached to this newsletter.

May 30th - No School Staff & Students (Memorial Day)
