All 8th graders will be taking the Science CSTs next week for our 8th graders April 12-13 so please make sure that your 8th grade student is here to take their test!  We know that our students will ROCK these!

After the CSTs, ALL students in 6th-8th grade will be taking the SBAC in Math and English from April 25th- May 13th!  We will be on block schedule (1-3-5 one day and 2-4-6 the next) for almost the entire time so please pack a snack and water with your student so that they can maintain their concentration!  They are ALL currently practicing on these tests so that they are familiar with the format and the questioning style.



Please help us remind students that pulling the fire alarm is not only against school rules, it is against the law and students will be cited by FFPD.  Also, SHORT shorts are NOT allowed and students will be asked to change into PE shorts, call home for other shorts, or sent home.  Please help us keep our students safe and follow the rules!



Need insurance for the device you send your student to school with?  Take a look at THIS SITE for quotes and more information!  We do our best to keep all items with their owners and a little insurance never hurt....


The FSUSD Public Safety Academy (PSA) has openings through April 10th for the 16-17 school year for their 9th grade high school program!   Current 8th graders can access the application at psa.fsusd.org and the window will close on April 10th.  Check it out!   


Our Faith, Love, and Care and Honor Society clubs are organizing a Sock Drive to support Heather House and Mission Solano in Fairfield now through April 20th!  The 4th period class with the most socks will win a prize from FLC/Honor Society.  Thanks for any help!

Attached to our weekly newsletter was a flyer for Parent Project Jr.  There are about 12 slots still open if you are interested in attending!  Please register on line at www.fosterluv.com or click THIS LINK.  

Have you purchased your tickets for our April 30th event from 4-8 PM at GV Cellars?  We have some FABULOUS donations from San Francisco Giants, Auberge, Caymus, Heretic Brewing Co, Galvan Family Cellars, Calistoga Inn, and MORE!  Don't miss out!  Tickets are $25.00 for 5 tastings, one full glass, munchies, and access to all auction items and Dessert Auction items!  Wood fired pizzas will be available for purchase and DJ John Laxa will be on the scene!  Don't miss out and tickets are going FAST!


Want another way to support our school?  Check out DonorsChoose.org and Gofundme for ways to support various teachers at GVMS!  In fact, check out this project from Mrs. Nitto HERE , Ms. Toll's HERE , Mrs. DeVries HERE, and Mr. McNamara's HERE!


8th Grade Promotion is scheduled for Thursday, June 2nd from 11-12.  Each 8th grade student that is being promoted to 9th grade will receive FOUR PROMOTION TICKETS ONLY.  Due to space, parking and crowds, this is all that we can accommodate.  All balloons, posters, and such MUST remain at home as it cannot block the view for other families and will be checked at the front door when tickets are collected.  Again, we don't have the space for these items and they can be given outside the gates.  Parking will be a mess and gates will not open until 10:30 so please plan accordingly.  We appreciate your support in making this successful for our students before moving to high school!
