THE VIKING VIEW

We are thrilled to have a television in the Galley as of recently! We will include information for students and for parents, as well as feature photos of students and highlights for the week. We will display the presentation during all lunches. Ms. Billings is the creator of our weekly presentations, so if you'd like information included for the week, please email her at meredith.billings@gulfportschools.org. BVE's donation from Warren Paving helped to provide this technology for our students. Thank you, Warren Paving!

BMVS ROBOTICS TEAM

CONGRATULATIONS to Jake Goldin, Kathleen Lassiter, Bella Dedeaux, Reed Williams, Bennett Grice, Honey Bertucci, Ethan King, Skyler Clark, and Jeffrey Hyde for making the BVMS Robotics Team. Mr. Quintero, BVMS Robotics teacher, surprised these students on Friday to give them the good news in person.

If you ever need help with your school work, there’s someone available to help you 24/7 on Paper.

Available anytime, anywhere, no matter what you’re working on, you’ll be able to connect with an expert tutor instantly. These are real people who are friendly, approachable, and want to help you succeed. To learn more about Paper and how you can get started, visit the MDE + Paper Website and check out the student resources.

To get started with a tutoring session all you have to do is log in, ask your question, and they’ll give you a helping hand. To login:

Visit PAPER’s student login page
Type your school’s name
Log in via Google using your school credentials

Once you let a tutor know what you’re working on, you can expect them to ask you questions about what you’ve tried, what you understand, what you don’t understand, and from there they’ll talk you through the steps. Paper is a place for you to improve, and that doesn’t happen when you just look up answers.

If you have any questions about your account, please ask your teacher.

Renewing Your Car Tag Soon?

WHY buy a G Car Tag? IT HELPS TEACHERS!

Teachers can apply for $500 grants from the $30 collected fee on each tag. This grant money is awarded to Gulfport School District teachers who complete an accepted grant application. Our teachers work so hard for your children. They often buy items for students and their classrooms out of their personal funds.

You can help :

Ask about a G Tag at the Harrison County Tax Collection Office or switch to the G tag when you renew your car tag.

Get your G Tag to show support for your community and help raise money for teacher grants, while personalizing your car all at once! #LoveGSDTeachers #MyGtag #AnchoredInExcellence #YouMeandGSD .

Designated drop-off and pick-up areas are on the front and back porches of school

DROP-OFF: begins at 7:00 a.m.

There is staff supervision in both areas beginning at 7:00 a.m. Student safety is our #1 priority, so please wait until you see a staff member outside before dropping off your child.

PICK-UP: begins at 2:30 p.m.

Changes to pick-up must be made prior to 12:00 noon, and students cannot be checked out after 2:00 p.m. Please remain in your car and follow in the car-rider line to pick up your child.

Revisiting Difficult Learning Standards

If parents need assistance with helping students master difficult learning standards, the GSD maintains a YouTube page entitled "GSD Instructional Programs" that features instructional videos created by our very own Gulfport teachers. Take a look and subscribe!

We currently have 353 instructional videos, and each video provides a great lesson listed by standard for students and/or their parents to view. Parents can also visit the Mississippi Education Series link below to view other recorded lessons by GSD teachers and staff.
