This too Shall Pass, Stay Home, Stay Safe!
Ongoing School Closure
GMS Families- We are working with our staff to finalize our plans for the continued school closure. Monday and Tuesday will be "catch-up" days for staff and students. During this next week, be sure all has been completed from prior work and be sure your teacher has received the completed work. Completed work can be turned in through Google Classroom. Students are asked to submit any paper copy of their work by email, picture, scan, or scanner app from a phone (Notes App on Iphone, Scanner App, Scanner, Scanner’, Genius Scan, ETC.) as it is still unclear how long the virus can live on paper or surfaces, we will not be collecting any student work at this time in order to reduce the risk of COVID-19 spreading.
Students are set to transition into Quarter 4 courses. Teachers will be reaching out to be sure students have the correct schedule. We will also post rosters by grade level at the school for quarter 4 related arts/electives.
For those needing paper copies, we will have packets available starting Wednesday and more information will follow in that regard. Please do not hesitate to contact a teacher, counselor, or principal with questions.

Recycling Center Open 10-Noon Saturday, April 4th
The GMS Recycling Center will be open on Saturday, April 4th 10am-noon.
We are not able to accept paper or cardboard at this time as the company has not dumped the bin and we have reached out to them 5 times in the last month.
We can accept #1/#2 plastic, glass, metal.
Thank you for your understanding.
DC Fundraiser Deadline Extended to April 6th
With current changes in school schedule, students will need to turn in all paper based sales and money on April 6th. Please mail in any paper-based sales and money.
**We encourage you to push people to online sales or text-to-pay options.
*** As we can no longer provide event based prizes, an additional 5% will go to the student DC fundraising account.
DC 2020 Payment #2
At this time you are welcome to make payment #2 ($225) by sending through the mail, or you can send with your student on April 6th.
If you are paying by check, please include the student name in the memo line.
** We do anticipate the tour company to provide a short extension if needed.
