Principal's Message
GMS Family,
We are very excited to announce that we are returning to Prime instruction at Georgetown Middle School. As our students and staff prepare for this transition, please keep in mind our safety procedures. Students and staff will continue to wear masks and one-way directional traffic will still be in effect. Please continue to monitor the health of your children before they come to school and please reach out if there are any concerns. We are happy to have our students back and thank you for your continued support.
