GMS Principal's Corner
November 7, 2021
Dear Galvin Families,
The outside water main line has been fully repaired by the Canton Water Department and students will be in the building as usual tomorrow. Tomorrow is a Day 3 in our schedule rotation.
In addition to the beautiful fall weather, November is a busy month at GMS. Students have been busy with both in school and extra-curricular activities and after school clubs. Our Cross Country team concluded a very successful season, and we have Parent/Teacher conferences on Wednesday, November 17th.
We hope everyone had a restful weekend and we look forward to seeing our students tomorrow morning.
Thank you,
GMS Administration

Bus S Students - Pickup Time Change
Hello GMS Bus S Families!
It has been brought to our attention that Bus S is arriving to the Middle School later than we would like! To correct this, the bus company will be starting their route at 7:12AM instead of 7:17AM. This should give the students more time once they arrive at school before the bell.
