GMS Student Schedule Adjustment for April 13th
It’s almost time for Spring Testing, arranged through the State of Michigan. Please carefully read over the information below, as there is an adjustment to student start times for Tuesday,
April 13, 2021.
Protocols for the PSAT are very strict so ONLY 8th graders will be attending school on the morning of April 13th with 6th and 7th grade students reporting to school at 10:30a.m.
For 6th or 7th grade students who ride the bus, their bus will pick them up three and a half (3.5) hours later than their normal pick-up time.
The busses will pick 8th grade students up at the regularly scheduled time. If your child does not ride the bus, s/he MUST arrive at school no later than 7:23 am. Please note that any 8th grade student who arrives to school after the 7:23 am start time will not be admitted into the testing session and will be required to complete the PSAT on a make-up day.
Please note that lunch will be served to all students at their regularly scheduled lunch time.
YEARBOOK COMPLETE...STILL NOT TOO LATE TO GET ONE
I am proud to say that the GMS Yearbook staff has completed the 2020-21 Goodrich Middle School Yearbook. The next step is the actual printing done by Jostens. Since they print yearbooks for schools across the country, this process takes some time. Typically, printing and quality control take until early May to complete and we receive the finished product sometime in late May. A distribution plan is then created and all students (face to face and virtual) that bought one will get theirs before school is over in early June.
What if I didn’t buy a yearbook yet? It is still not too late, a few extra yearbooks have been included in our final numbers to the publisher so you can still go to Jostens’s website (https://tinyurl.com/yew8ambj) and order one today until those extras run out. Remember there is no guarantee there will still be extras when we finally get our shipment in May.
Order now to make sure you get one!
Yearbooks are memories that last forever,
2020-21 GMS Yearbook Staff

MARVEL-OUS BOOK CHARACTER ACTIVITY FOR MARCH IS READING MONTH
STUDENT COUNCIL BLANKET
GMS Student Council members are working on a tie blanket purchased through the Fleece and Thank you organization. The Fleece and Thank you organization began as a way to give children in the oncology floor of the children’s hospital in Ann Arbor some added comfort and grew from there. Our students are creating a meaningful gift for a sick child made with their own hands. In addition, student members will be creating a positive message video; the link to be included with the blanket when it is sent to the hospital. Way to go Student Council students!
