GCMS Title 1 is proud to present the Falcon Family Scavenger Hunt! This will be a great activity to get the whole family moving all around town and all participants get free books! Check out the flyer for more details!
Families,
Our kids need joy so please find positive and safe ways to share that this holiday weekend. We want all kids in school and our actions matter!!!
-Mr. Darnell
A reminder that students can wear Halloween costumes to school tomorrow. No scary masks or weapons are allowed (but facemasks are still required). I am looking forward to seeing all of the fun costumes!
Mr. Kean
GCMS HS will offer food to HS students on 10/27, 10/29, 11/2 and 11/5 from 11am-1pm. Use the west Commons doors for pick-up. Each student will receive 2 days worth of breakfast and lunch at each pickup. Questions or sign up, email allen.mike@gcmsk12.org or call the HS, 784-4292.
Covid claims another... we'll keep trying!
Teachers at GCMS High School are spending the day hard at work turning all of their instructional plans into lessons which can be delivered remotely!
For example, if I am a Geometry teacher I left school last week prepared to teach the next lesson in my curricular sequence on Monday on the topic of Rotations as part of a Transformation unit. My lesson plan included manipulatives and measurement tools necessary for calculating rotation. At 5:00 last night, I found out that lesson would never be taught because instead I would be delivering instruction digitally. Today, I am using this prep time to find a virtual tool and resources which can be used to teach the same math standard, within the same scope/sequence of my curriculum.
If I am the teacher of an Industrial Tech class that was supposed to start repairing lawn mowers Monday then today I am looking for ways in which to teach small engine repairs remotely that will still allow students to apply the skills on their own.
The building is currently full of examples of teachers working hard to ensure our two-week transition to remote is as curricularly seamless as possible. Thank you GCMS High School teachers for making it happen!
There will be a community Drive-through test site Thursday, Oct 29 from 9am-4pm at the Roberts Village Gym.

Reminder About Remote Wednesdays
Wednesday is a school day and there are curricular expectations that students need to complete prior to returning to school on Thursday.
If a student has a question or needs clarification on an assignment, the student needs to email his/her teacher(s).
To the best of your circumstance, students should have a workspace that is free of distractions, such as cellphones, to complete assignments.
We appreciate all of our parents’ support of their students during Remote Wednesdays. This is a partnership between the school and our parents that is helping all of our students achieve academic success.
Mr. Bielfeldt
Reminder that middle school report cards are going out today. Students will be bringing them home after school. We also sent home our FastBridge scores as well so be on the look out for those as well.
Mr. Bielfeldt
