IDENTIFICATION BADGE
Dear GCMS parents,
The safety of students and staff is very important. As we work to keep everyone safe, student identification badges have been provided. Badges must be visible around the neck at all times (school, bus, and school events). The students need their badges for riding the bus. The initial Identification badge was provided for them, however, if the badge is lost or damaged the student is responsible for the replacement badge fee of $5.
Thank you for your partnership!
