STUDENT INFORMATION

*The GMS Drama Club is presenting “Bye, Bye Birdie” this week, January 22nd to 25th. Tickets are still available, https://cur8.com/24122/project/136025 Hope to see you there!
*Attention 8th graders: This spring, GMS Drama Club is bringing a show just for you—full of strange rules, surprising characters, and a town where things are definitely not what they seem. Curious? Auditions will be on January 27th. See Mrs. Knupp for more information.
PARENT INFORMATION
*Students should not be entering the building before 7:15 am unless they are attending Jazz Band, Math Club, or have previously made arrangements with a teacher. There is no supervision in the cafe and breakfast is served from 7:15 am to 7:30 am. Thank you for your cooperation.
*Review of Dismissal Procedures: If you should need to dismiss your student during the school day, please send your child in with a note, and have them report to the main office. We will log them in our dismissal book and give them a pass. This will help to alleviate disruptions to classrooms during teaching time. You can still email the teachers, however if that is all you do it may not be transferred to the main office. Also, if you just email the main office staff or Administration, due to the volume of traffic in the office in the morning, an email may not be seen right away. Parents/Guardians MUST come to the main office to sign their child out. Students cannot just walk out on their own. Thank you for your understanding.
*A gentle reminder, for the safety of all staff and students, parents should not be exiting through the parking lot after dropping children off coming from North Avenue. Parents need to exit the parking lot onto Armory Street. Thank you for your cooperation.
