The 2019-2020 Falconer, the GCMS High School yearbooks, have been delivered! 2020 grads who ordered one may pick theirs up in the office during school hours. We have a small number of additional books; email Riley.Susan@gcmsk12.org if you’d like to purchase one.
Did you know that research shows that most tweens would like to talk more to their parents about schoolwork. Ask your middle school student to share what they are learning in their classes, but be specific. "What did you work on in science class today?" or "What book are you discussing in English?" Start the conversation and have it daily!
