Thank you for joining us for Back to School Night on Wednesday!  It was awesome to see so many friends and families!  We hope you had fun downloading QR codes, seeing the videos on FlipGrid, and watching the slide presentations! We know that this was a different format than the past and we are still working out the kinks.  Next year, we will be working on a hybrid model of the past and present so stay tuned and THANK YOU for your patience, productive suggestions, and constructive feedback!

We have Challenge Day coming to GVMS this year September 26/28 and we need YOU!  Are you interested in participating in with us?  This program was created to build connection and empathy among teens, and to fulfill a vision that every kid can feel loved, safe, and celebrated!  This is an AMAZING opportunity for all of many of our 7th and 8th graders!  Sorry, not for 6th at this time due to program policy.  Check out more information at www.challengeday.org and check our their videos here https://www.challengeday.org/videos/featured-videos/ 

If you CAN HELP US and participate, PLEASE email Mrs. Bates here or cut and paste into your email ElizabethBa@fsusd.org! 

THANK YOU to all of the parents that signed up to participate in our Watch D.O.G.S. program at GVMS!  Our Watch D.O.G.S (Dads of Great Students) is looking for even more volunteers to join our organization!  The purpose is to provide positive male role models and enhance campus security.  We are only asking for 1 shift this school year!  FSUSD fingerprinting is required.  Our first meeting will be Tuesday, September 12 at Nelda Mundy Elementary at 570 Vintage Valley Drive in Room 707 from 7-8 PM.  Fingerprinting will be available THERE beginning at 6 PM with the cost at $45.00.  Please contact Jason Biggs at jjbiggs129@yahoo.com or 707-330-6977 if you have any questions!

We are done making schedule changes at this time.  All students have been placed to the best of our ability and all classes are full.  Please do not submit any more requests to change as we really want stability moving forward! Thank you!

We apologize that there has been a LOT of questions regarding PE clothing. We have decided to REOPEN the ordering window for 2 weeks and then clothing will be delivered two weeks later.  If you have questions, please contact Ad Special Ts at 452-7272 and CLICK HERE for the ordering website!

Cell phones and Internet aren't just part of our student's lives....they ARE their lives in many cases!  As a parent, we don't get an instruction manual as to how we can keep up with it, so check out THIS LINK on ideas, ways to keep up with the latest apps and more.  Don't back away!  Work with your tween and teen to stay on top of it!!

If you and your family have applied for the National School Breakfast and Lunch Programs in the past and have not completed the application OR if you are interested in completing the application, please CLICK HERE to complete the application!  

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 with!!

Cookie dough and cheese cake orders have gone home!!  Order forms are due September 7 with checks made payable to GVMS PTC.  All orders will be delivered on October 3rd and they MUST be picked up as we don't have the space to store them!  Have questions?  Please email GVMS PTC HERE or GVMSPTC@gmail.com
