Greeting GCMS,
December 30th, and I am confident that we are all looking forward to the calendar turning to 2021.
This is a reminder that GCMS Schools will be returning to in person learning on Tuesday, January 5th. We will be following the same schedule as first semester to start 2021. Please remember that buildings open at 8:00 am and classes start at 8:20.
Please remember to self certify each day, and error on the side of caution if you or your children have had any exposure to Covid. The most challenging thing we faced in first semester was managing quarantines, and we can all do our parts to minimize that risk.
Finally, please stay actively engaged when absences occur, it is essential for students do complete assigned curriculum and seek out help when challenges occur.
We will be hosting a Facebook live update on January 4th with information and opportunity to ask questions.
Stay safe and healthy!
Sincerely,
Mr. Darnell
