January 17, 2020

As we enter the final stretch of the first semester this school year, we want to remind all parents and students that all permanent grades will be entered on Friday, January 17 (no school for students- teacher workday).  Parents, PLEASE stay on top of your student by monitoring Parent Portal, downloading the Aeries app for iPhone and Android, signing up for Remind texts from the teachers that use it, asking to be connected to Google Classroom and checking out teacher websites.  PLEASE ASK your Viking to show you what they are working on.  Please, oh please, don't wait until the LAST MINUTE to see what they are missing or what their grades are.  2nd semester electives should now be visible!

Need help with any of the tech tools we use?  PLEASE reach out to our office at 707-646-7000, email your Viking's teacher directly, or check out our website here!

As you already know, our students are completing the MAP testing in English and Math.  While we may have had a few technical difficulties, we are plugging away at it!  
MAP is a computer adaptive test and shows a student's growth over time (which is why our students take it three times a year!) and it is indicative of how they will perform on the CAASPP test at the end of April.  
Teachers will each get reports on every single student as to how they are progressing!
MAP is important and we will be celebrating the growth of our students as soon as they have completed all parts!  Want a more in depth look?  Take a look at THIS ARTICLE so that you can have a better understanding.
Also, check out the MAP Parent Toolkit website to answer some more questions you may have!

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!
