The Ford County Attendance Initiative would like to give some tips to help students get to school as much as possible and limit our chronic absenteeism! Lay out clothes and pack backpacks the night before school. Establish a bedtime and morning routine. Plan trips and appointments outside of school hours if possible. Minimize screen time before bedtime to help achieve restful sleep. Ask school staff to help if your child is having anxiety about school. Have a back up plan to get to school if something comes up. Let's work together to help better student attendance at our schools. Be Present, Be Powerful!
GCMS Families,
GCMS will NOT be in session tomorrow, Wednesday, February 12 due to the highly likely accumulation of ice and snow in our District. Students will be sent home today with materials for an E-Learning day. ALL evening activities are also cancelled for Wednesday night. This evenings events will proceed as planned. Be safe and we hope to see everyone back on Thursday.
Sincerely,
Mr. Darnell
