September 29, 2017


Official progress reports have been MAILED home!  Please note!! These are a reflection of how our students are doing at THAT moment.  Numerous grades will go in BEFORE the official report cards in DECEMBER!

We HIGHLY encourage you to constantly check Parent Portal to get a more accurate picture of how they are doing.  Additionally, final report card grades (December and June) are what we see on their official transcripts, not progress report grades.  Thank you!



Helping your GVMS Viking to be able to self-manage and be self- aware, is something that can be a challenge.  Parent Toolkit is a GREAT resource to help guide you through some tips and advice on what to do.  Check out THIS LINK for this and more ideas on social emotional support, relationships, academics, and more!

Did you know?  By 6th grade, chronic absence becomes a leading indicator that a student will drop out of high school.  Did you know?  Research show that missing 10% of the school year, or just two days a month, negatively affects a student's academic performance?

Did you ALSO know?  GVMS has the HIGHEST attendance rate in the ENTIRE district!  YAY!  We want this to continue as our goal for the year is 98% and that is where we are for this first month of school!  Why does attendance matter you ask?  Check out THIS LINK with information on why being at GVMS matters!  Plus, we miss you when you are gone =)




Thank you all of the adult volunteers for joining us at our Challenge Days this past week!  We hope that you had a great time with our students and built strong bonds with your family groups!  

Thank you to Mrs. Barnes, Mrs. McCormick, Mr. Cason, Mrs. Metcho, Mrs. Taylor, Mrs. Bilafer, Mrs. Sherrod, Mrs. Sandbak, Mr. Lapid, Mrs. Love, Mrs. Young, Ms. Morrison, Mrs. Burns, Mrs. Thompson, Mr. Scott, Mrs. Villarreal, Mrs. Frische, Mrs. Moreno, Mrs. Pereira, Mrs. Keffer, Mrs. Garcia, and Mrs. Fisher for your participation on Tuesday!  Thank you to Mrs. Fisher, Mr. Diaz, Mrs. McKenna, Mr. Pozzesi, Mr. Phan, Ms. Wheeler, Mrs. Garcia, Mrs. Frische, Mr. Peterson, Mrs. Medley, Ms. Harkness, Mrs. Gurion-Jumamoy, Mrs. O'Connell, Mr. Perry, Mrs. Plancarte, and Ms. Pollard for speing the day with us!
We are ALWAYS thinking outside the box to create effective ways to reach all of our students!  Want to be a part of this??  All donations are TAX DEDUCTIBLE!!!  Check out THIS LINK to see ALL OF the different ideas that our VERY OWN GVMS teachers have come up with!!




ATTENTION!  The "grace period" for Food Service meal applications expired on September 27!  If your student has NOT renewed their application for free or reduced lunch, please check and see if it's possible to DO SO NOW!  Click HERE or cut and past this address: http://www.fsusd.org/Domain/835
