Thank you for coming to Back to School Night this past Wednesday!  We hope you had a great time meeting the teachers and seeing what a day in middle school looks like!


Cookie dough and cheese cake orders came home THURSDAY!!  Yay!  Please be on the look out for these orders NEXT WEEK so that you can help support our tech dreams of becoming a 1:1 DEVICE SCHOOL!  YES!!  Check out the order form when it comes home today and please help if you can! Orders are due 
PE Clothing orders CAN be sent directly to your child's PE teacher.  Please send order form along with cash or checks made payable to GVMS PTC as soon as possible if you wish to purchase GVMS PE clothing.  All students are NOW required to dress out DAILY.  Please instruct your Viking to bring home their clothing on Fridays so they can be washed =).  We are waiting on another shipment of small shirts, shorts and sweats.  If you purchase your own PE clothes in the correct colors, please make sure there is a spot to write your name for all teachers to see!  

We need your HELP!  Do you have any of THESE items to help us get our STEAM electives rockin and rollin??  We are really striving to have a truly engaging exploration class that supports students investigating ideas through Science-Technology-Engineering-Art-Math!  Here is the link if you want to cut and paste: https://docs.google.com/a/fsusd.org/document/d/1QDt6HZcfoJGg31RoHe7wXNA1eAE0UvndJIzZbTDW0y0/edit?usp=sharing
THANK YOU!!

Do you know what's on your student's phone?  Do you know what apps are out there and how to access them?  ALL of our students have been studying Digital Citizenship and their Digital Footprint.  Many of them have Googled their parents to see what their parent's Digital Footprint is.  Oh boy!  Get information on ways to support and protect your middle school student HERE.

We have Challenge Day coming to GVMS this year October 25, 26, 27 and we need YOU!  Are you interested in participating in with us?  This program was created to build connection and empathy among teens, and to fulfill a vision that every kid can feel loved, safe, and celebrated!  This is an AMAZING opportunity for all of many of our 7th and 8th graders!  Sorry, not for 6th at this time due to program policy.
If you are interested in participating PLEASE email Mrs. Bates HERE or cut and paste into your email ElizabethBa@fsusd.org!  

Sports tryouts are coming!  Please mark your calendars!  Also, please remember that ALL students MUST have current physical on file, have a 2.0 and behavior must be in good standing.
