Dear Middle School Parents/Guardians,
The Gibson Area Food Pantry has developed a backpack program which will be providing nutritional food items to supplement weekend meals for qualifying GCMS students. The program's goal is to provide children with nutritious food items that can be prepared and served throughout the weekend.
Food items will be placed in your child’s locker on the selected dates (which will be the weeks that the Gibson Area Food Pantry @ 619 E. 1st Street is not open for distribution). We are inviting your family to participate in the program if you are interested. One bag of food will be distributed per family not per child. If you are interested in participating in this program, please have your child pick up a sign up packet in the office or contact the middle school office for details.
Thank you,
Mr. Bielfeldt
If you have a student in grades 4-12, they are going to be using Google Classroom this year. Here's a walkthrough video to go over the basics!

Members of the First Presbyterian Church in Gibson City stopped by the opening teacher inservice to provide a generous cash gift to all of the GCMS faculty and staff. We are part of a community that truly supports our school, one of the many reasons we are so #Falconproud!
GCMS Families,
Set your alarms, pack your bags, and send them our way!!! School starts tomorrow at 8:15 in all buildings and dismissal is at 2:20! We can't wait to get everyone here to kick off 2021-2022!
Falcons Proud! --- Mr. Darnell
Middle Middle School Families,
Here is a reminder of our updated information in regards to student drop off for the upcoming school year that was sent out last week.
Students that wish to eat free breakfast at school this year will be allowed to enter the cafeteria beginning at 7:45 AM. We ask that students not eating breakfast arrive no earlier than 8:00 am unless they are coming for meetings, pre-arranged reasons, or due to bus transportation.
We will be utilizing the outdoor area under the canopy for gathering when weather permits and students will enter for classes starting at 8:10. We look forward to seeing everyone on August 26th!
Thank you, Mr. Bielfeldt

Just a reminder that doors open for breakfast at 7:45, but we are asking that kids who are not eating breakfast be dropped off after 8:00 to avoid unnecessary quarantines. Parents will not be able to come in the building for drop-off. Thank you for you cooperation!

Due to tomorrow's expected heat, Tuesday's MS Girls Softball game at Mahomet will now start at 6PM, with a 4:40 bus time and pickup at the softball field. There will just be one game Tuesday night. Contact Coach Harden if you have any questions.
The doors at the elementary school will open at 7:45 daily for students eating breakfast, but to aide in social distancing, we ask that other students not arrive until after 8:00 when possible. Thank you for your assistance!
