California Standardized Tests are HERE!  The CAST Science Test for all GVMS 8th graders was this last week and the SBAC in ELA and Math is NEXT WEEK, April 24-May 12.  The schedule is attached to the weekly email and our students are aware of it. All students are going to want to bring their own headphones so that they are comfortable with how they fit.
Please PLEASE make sure that your students are at school during this time, get plenty of rest, eat a healthy breakfast, and come to GVMS ready to #rockthistest!


In case you hadn't noticed, @gvmsvikings are ALL OVER TWITTER!  We are posting all of the time, each and every day about the amazing things that are happening at #gvms!  Come and see what we have been up to by following us @gvmsvikings and see all of our teachers that are using this tool for educational (and bragging about students!) purposes!

Interested in visiting or going to Cal in the future?  Check out Cal Day on April 22 where you can hear the band, hug a robot, get hand's on science lessons, and more!  There is something for every age so check out THIS LINK! 

How about UC Davis?  Check out THIS LINK for info on Picnic Day and other upcoming events where the whole family can join in!


The brand new Positive Prevention Plus, previously called Family Life, curriculum as been available for preview in the front office at your discretion.  If any 7th grade parent would still like to check out the new laws, curriculum objectives, handouts and more, please stop by the front office before May 5, 2017.  This new curriculum will be delivered in our 7th grade science classes before the end of the school year.

  
Our PTC Board is looking for volunteers for the 2017-2018 school year! Please email GVMSPTC@gmail.com if you are interested as we'd love to have you join!

Additionally, we are looking for interested people to come hang out with us during our lunches as noon duty supervisors!  If you are interested, please contact Ms. Lucero at ChristineL@fsusd.org to start the process!

*CAASPP Testing for ALL GVMS students is April 24-May 12!  Please be sure to be at school on time, sleep well, eat a good breakfast, and be ready to ROCK THIS TEST!!  Also, bring your own headphones =)  You'll thank us later!

*Teacher Appreciation week is May 8-12 with our Gold Ribbon Celebration on May 12!  Sign Up Genius was sent out to all families so please check your email!

*We NEED more Watch D.O.G.S. (Dads Of Great Students!) on our campus!  If you are interested, please contact Mrs. Cherry!  We'd love to have you!!

*8th grade promotion is Thursday, June 8th at 10 AM.  Each 8th grade who is promoting will be receiving 4 tickets in mid-May and gates will open at 9 AM.  Balloons, signs, and anything else that can block the view of others will NOT be allowed in the gates.  We will check them at the door and your student can get them on their way out the door.  We appreciate your support on this!



Many of our teachers are getting even more creative and working to bring state of the art technology and hands on learning for our students!  Check out what they are doing AND see if you can support!  It's a great time to be a Viking!
