After the CSTs, ALL students in 6th-8th grade will be taking the SBAC in Math and English from April 25th- May 13th! We will be on block schedule (1-3-5 one day and 2-4-6 the next) for almost the entire time so please pack a snack and water with your student so that they can maintain their concentration! They are ALL currently practicing on these tests so that they are familiar with the format and the questioning style.
No one said raising a tween/teen was easy, and more and more parents are taking an active role in monitoring their student's progress (Thank you!). Things a re different now and THIS ARTICLE gives some helpful ideas on ways to support good study habits!
Our GVMS PTC is working with the American Chinese Cultural Exchange Service to find accommodations for 64 middle school students from China who will be attending summer camp in Fairfield this summer!!! Half of the students will be here from July 10-July 20 and the other half will be here from July 28-August 13. Students have a minimum of 2 years of English traning and can communicate effectively. They attend class at Solano CC from 8:30 AM- 4:30 PM and are free on weekends to spend with their host families. Hosting an international student can expand horizons and develop life long friendships!! For additional information on YOUR family hosting, please contact Gary Bacon at gary.bacon@accexs.org of click HERE!
Please help us remind students that pulling the fire alarm is not only against school rules, it is against the law and students will be cited by FFPD. Also, SHORT shorts are NOT allowed and students will be asked to change into PE shorts, call home for other shorts, or sent home. Please help us keep our students safe and follow the rules!
Our Faith, Love, and Care and Honor Society clubs are organizing a Sock Drive to support Heather House and Mission Solano in Fairfield now through April 20th! The 4th period class with the most socks will win a prize from FLC/Honor Society. Thanks for any help!

8th Grade Promotion is scheduled for Thursday, June 2nd from 11-12. Each 8th grade student that is being promoted to 9th grade will receive FOUR PROMOTION TICKETS ONLY. Due to space, parking and crowds, this is all that we can accommodate. All balloons, posters, and such MUST remain at home as it cannot block the view for other families and will be checked at the front door when tickets are collected. Again, we don't have the space for these items and they can be given outside the gates. Parking will be a mess and gates will not open until 10:30 so please plan accordingly. We appreciate your support in making this successful for our students before moving to high school!
