Principal's Message
Dear Gardner Middle School Families,
We are all very excited and looking forward to an outstanding 2021-2022 school year. The GMS team has been planning and preparing for a smooth learning start, and we are looking forward to having a more “normal” year! As the first day of school approaches, I would like to provide you with some important information so that your student is ready to start school on Wednesday, August 11, 2021.
Please read this information carefully as it contains specific information regarding the pick-up of your student’s textbooks, pre-purchased ASB gear, and Chromebook checkout. A parent/guardian may accompany their student on campus and both the parent/guardian and student must wear masks and maintain social distance while inside any building on campus.
The process will move quickly for families who are prepared in advance. Here is some information to help in the preparation:
Completion of the Required Family Annual Update: If a parent has not yet submitted this for their students, it needs to be completed by a “primary” household parent, and proof of residency documents must be uploaded in advance. Click here for directions. If you have difficulty uploading the documents, you may email the proof of residency to cspinelli@tvusd.us. We cannot accept paper copies.
7th Grade Only - TDAP/Varicella: Immunizations continue to be required to enroll and register for school. If you have not already completed your Annual Family Update in Infinite Campus, please do so and you can upload a copy of immunizations at that time. If you have any issues uploading your documents in the annual family update, you may turn in a copy of the immunization with the student's name printed clearly on the document during your school business day (use an envelope to ensure privacy). If you have already uploaded the document as part of your annual family update, there is nothing further you need to do. If you have any questions, please email our GMS Health Clerk, Jennifer White at jwhite@tvusd.us
Registration
SCHEDULE: Beginning Wednesday, August 4, 2021, and running through Friday, August 6, 2021, we have developed a schedule to speed the process, avoid long lines, and minimize the gathering of too many people, we ask that you follow this schedule if your work schedule permits:
