We hope that you enjoy the holidays with your loved ones!  We will be refraining from emails for the week of November 25-29 so that we can spend time with family and friends!  While some may be working, the office will be closed to the public and all emails will be returned when school reopens on Monday, December 2!  HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

It's that time of year again when we, at GVMS, do our best to support those in need!  We are currently collecting new toys for our Toy Drive with Officer Holecek and his Toys for Tots Drive!  We are also collecting canned foods and nonperishable items for our own Fairfield Suisun Family Resource Center in Fairfield!  They need our help!  Take a look at THIS LIST of items and donate if you can!  Thank you for all of your generosity as we help those that are in need!

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!

All of our Lost and Found will be donated to the Clothes Closet at Sullivan Interagency Youth Services Center on Friday, December 20!  Please have your Viking check the stage in the cafeteria ASAP before it disappears!

Did you purchase your yearbook?  If not, you still have time!  Please visit www.yearbookordercenter.com and use code 7927 or enter "Green Valley Middle School".  Cost is $40 and will go up to $45 after Winter Break.  If you are unsure if you purchased one, please email LynnLa@fsusd.org to double check.  If you double order, we cannot issue refunds =)

We are ALWAYS thinking outside the box to create effective ways to reach all of our students!  Want to be a part of this??  Check out THIS LINK to see the different ideas that our teachers have come up

I am sure you or your tween/teen is connected to some form of social media and check it throughout the day.  While there are some AWESOME things about social media (staying connected to family from afar, getting some great information, etc), there are some real negative effects as well.  We have found, over the years, that our students can be TOO consumed with 

Over the three-day weekend, I read THIS ARTICLE as to why our teens and tweens have so much anxiety.  It's something that I see as both an educator and a parent and the cause of it is sometimes confusing.

Emotions in middle school students....did that make anyone else cringe?  They are hard to understand, hard to interpret and hard to help through sometimes.  They are complex, they can be hidden by other emotions, and they can be contagious!  You are not alone!  

How can we, as the adults and parents, help our kids/students navigate through these emotions at the various stages of development?  Take a look at THIS ARTICLE from Parent Tool Kit on ways to help you survive =)

Wow.  So many requests for short term Independent Study (IS) have happened ALREADY this school year.  It is SO very important for our students to be in school, even if they get the work from their teacher.  The instruction that they loose is way too valuable.  PLEASE, parents and guardians, remember the policies for IS as outlined in our student agenda, webpage, and welcome pamphlet:

• GVMS must be given at least 5 school days advance notice prior to the request
• IS must be at least 5 school days missed or more (weekends and holidays don't count)
• IS will not be granted the first two weeks and the last two weeks of school
• Please let us know if your student has an IEP as we must hold an additional meeting
• All assignments are due the day that the student returns
• IS may not be granted depending on percentage of work completed for prior IS requests
