There are so many positive benefits to social media....Heck, we work hard to bring you into our classrooms through social media. There are, however, some draw backs as we are certain that you have already discovered for your selves. Check out THIS ARTICLE to become more aware of the best and worst social media apps, how it is considered more addictive than some substances, and how it can be linked to depression. Just being aware could help you and your teen with these issues!
Don't forget to join us on September 27 from 5:30-6:30 in the cafeteria for "All Things Tech at GVMS" to become even more familiar!
MAP (Measure of Academic Progress) testing will take place three times during our school year. We will begin in Math and ELA next week. These tests are done on a computer and they measure academic growth throughout the year. The tests are unique as they can adapt to your your Viking's level of learning! Each student has the same opportunity to set goals for themselves and to succeed while maintaining a positive attitude toward testing! MAP tests take a shorter amount of time to administer and give us detailed accurate information about their growth. Check out THIS Parent's Guide to MAP Growth!
