Families,
This is your weekly update for GCMS Spring 2021 semester and I am happy to report no reported positive cases of COVID since last Wednesday!
As we approach Spring Break I want to encourage everyone to communicate with your child's respective schools should you have any issues with COVID or close contacts over break. We want to be very vigilant as we return from the break to minimize risks for our kids and staff. We are hoping to continue to provide activities and experiences for our kids as our situation allows.
Please stay tuned for early registration that we will be providing shortly after break for the 2021-2022 school year which will be back to 5 full days a week in person learning!
Construction is continuing and we are excited to see the progression. Please continue to be careful at pick up and drop off around the Elementary School.
Have a wonderful break!
Sincerely,
Jeremy Darnell
Superintendent
