Ohio State Spring Testing
It is important that students give their best effort on the assessments so we can get an accurate performance picture. Teachers use this data to plan instruction during the following year at the next grade level and to provide support at the current grade level.
Students are encouraged to get a good night's sleep before the assessment and to eat a healthy breakfast at home or at school.
Please help us encourage your child to do their best in showing what they know during this testing season!
MUSE Machine Returns to GMS
Thank you once again to our GMS Student Council and Alvetro Orthodontics for sponsoring the MUSE Performances this year.

Students have selected this project because they want to give back to their community which provides for and supports them and that many people in our own district are struggling to get by.
