February 23, 2018


All GVMS and FSUSD students COMPLETED the MAP Test.  MAP measures a student's growth throughout the year and they take the test three times a year.  In most cases, MAP helps us determine placement for classes for the following year.  We are seeing a TON of growth in our students and we are THRILLED!  Still a little lost when it comes to MAP?  Take a look at THIS Parent Guide to MAP and what it means!  Each student earns a RIT score, which can help our teachers determine where they are at, academically.  Take a look at THIS PARENT TOOL KIT for an easy guide to also help understand MAP testing.  
We use these results to help us place students into classes for the next school year!  



Intra-murals are COMING!!!  GVMS is starting after school intra-murals for students who are interested!  These are FREE, open to ALL students, and will be FUN!  There is a after school meeting from 3-3:30 PM on February 27th for parents and interested students!  Information, contract information, and more will be discussed at this meeting!  We are super excited to have Mrs. Keffer and Mr. Peila be able to offer this to our students!



I am SURE you have heard of SnapChat.  Who hasn't really?  Have you heard about the new updates?  Take a few minutes to watch the video above to make sure you, as a parent, completely understand what the app is and what it actually does, and what the new updates mean to YOU, the parent!  There is even more information HERE so please read it!


Every SINGLE day, over our loud speakers, we make lots of announcements to our students.  These include: events coming up, clubs to join, sports activities, grading windows, and more.  PLEASE make sure that you all, at home, bookmark this page HERE so that YOU don't miss out on what's happening at GVMS!  We have a LOT of exciting activities coming up that you won't want your student (or YOU!) to miss out on!

Additionally, we review our school rules.  EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. Including keeping our hands to ourselves and no play fighting/slap boxing.  PLEASE encourage your student to follow our school rules!!

The SPRING FLING IS COMING!!  We are gearing up for our 4th Annual Spring Fling at GV Cellars on Saturday, April 28 from 4-8 PM and WE NEED YOUR HELP!  Do you have connections for tickets to sporting events, time shares, winery tours, limo tours, etc?  Tickets will be on sale FEBRUARY 1st for $25.00 and the Sign Up Genius has gone out!  Click HERE to see if you can donate! Please reach out to your connections and help us make this year's event even more fun and successful than last year's (that may be hard as last year was a TON of fun!).  More details, donation letters, and Sign Up Genius links will be sent at the beginning of February!  You DON'T want to miss this!
