Every day at GVMS, we mention being nice/saying kind words/being polite/doing the right thing DAILY to remind our Vikings that we are all here together!  Sometimes, that can be much more difficult than anticipated.  February has been ESPECIALLY hard this school year.  We have been able to use the resources from THIS LINK to help us and wanted to share them with you all as well!
As you can see, our gate is finally installed!  YAY!  The electrical is being put in and all people coming in will have to be buzzed in.  We will continue to monitor all entrances and we can always use more eyes and ears!  We have our amazing campus monitors (and all adults) constantly patrolling our huge site and communicating to all Admin and office when anything goes on.   Can you spare an hour in the morning to join our WATCH D.O.G.S Program?  We truly need people to help us!!

We, at GVMS, do our very best to ensure that our students are safe at all times.  We practice fire drills, intruder drills, review safety protocols and more.   Please talk with your students about where the exit routes are from their classrooms and where to evacuate if necessary.  Should we need to evacuate campus completely, GVMS offsite meeting and pick-up locations are #1: Cordelia Community Park and #2: Cordelia Hills Park (Next to Cordelia Hills)

-------------

We continue to be very concerned about the amount of students that are dropped off at school in the morning (sometimes before 7 AM!!) and then choosing to WALK to Power Mart.  This is extremely unsafe and we cannot chase after them to have them return to school.  Please remind your student NOT to do this!

We have had several parents ask for additional resources, outside of GVMS, to support parenting their students.  We are glad you asked!  There are many resources on the Sullivan Inter agency Youth Services Center that can be used, including Parent Project from the FFPD!  Take a look and get signed up!





GVMS will be hosting Heart and Sole this Spring for all girls in 6th-8th grade! Spring Session will begin the week of March 4th and end May 17th.  Girls meet twice a week for 75 minutes after school and finish the session with a 5K run at Solano Community College on May 11th with over 600 other girls, their families and community organizations!  Only 12 GVMS girls can join this team!  Pick up a flyer in our front off and register today at www.gotrnapasolano.org/register-now and help change the world!



The SPRING FLING IS COMING!!  We are gearing up for our 4th Annual Spring Fling at GV Cellars on Saturday, April 27 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?   Click HERE to see if you can donate

Every 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 as they are certainly not complicated: Be Respectful, Be Responsible, Be Safe!
