GCMS Families and Staff,
This is your weekly Covid update. We have not been in live session since last Tuesday so we have no knew school based quarantines or positive cases. We will return tomorrow with less than 50 students still quarantined from the previous week. We are excited to return to in person instruction.
At this point we are planning to be in session on Thursday, February 18th. If over night snow or wind change that possibility I will notify you in the morning prior to 6:30 am.
Reminder to fill out the parent survey if you have not.
PLEASE be sure to self certify and only come to school if you are healthy. We want to avoid as many quarantines as possible!
Have a warm evening and safe travels.
Sincerely,
Mr. Darnell

GCMS Families,
GCMS will NOT be in session on Tuesday, February 16th due to inclement weather conditions.
We WILL be engaging in full remote learning schedules just like today.
Reminder to students that you are expected to be in attendance for each class where applicable. We recognize that not all students have the same ability, accessibility, or burdens given family circumstance, but encourage everyone to engage at their highest level of availability.
Wednesday, February 17th will be the same schedule we follow on all Wednesdays.
I would encourage all families to prepare for the possibility of remote learning on Thursday and Friday as well. We hope to be back in session, but weather patterns and the extreme cold and wind have made this week challenging. If possible we will make these decisions in advance for preparation purposes. We will make determinations daily for extra curricular activities based on local and opponent information.
Thank you for your attention and consideration.
Sincerely,
Mr. Darnell

We were experiencing some technical difficulties with the livestream of tonight's Boys Basketball game, but we now have it back up and running on NFHS. Search for GCMS or go to https://www.nfhsnetwork.com/events/gibson-citymelvinsibley-high-school-gibson-city-il/gama8f746636d
We’re having trouble with NFHS feed of our HS boys game this evening but we’re working on it and hope to have it restored quickly.
