Weekly Announcements

Dear Panther Parents and Guardians-

As a way to keep stakeholders aligned with what is occurring on the Gulfview Middle School campus, I will send a weekly e-mail to keep you posted on dates, events, and the happenings on our campus. 

NOTES: 

• One last reminder- students brought home a folder with several items for you to review.  Most items can be accessed via the Parent Portal.  If you have any issues logging into the portal, please contact GVM, and we can assist.

• Thank you to everyone who was able to attend Open House. I hope you found it a meaningful night.  Please reach out staff with any questions.
• Reminder- there is no school next Monday, September 7, 2026.
• Wednesday is our first dress-down day of the year.  For $3 students can be out of GVM standardized dress, but within CCPS’s dress code.  Students must have their GVM issued ID on to participate (no temporary badges).
• Unfortunately, this time of the year has the potential for lightning dismissals.  In preparation, please remember the following when we are under lightning alert:
  • Walker and Bike Riders will report to the cafeteria until we are 'all clear'.
  • Car Riders should remain under any covering at the front of GVM until their ride has arrived at GVM.
  • Bus riders dismiss normally.
• The first PTO meeting of the year is Wednesday, September 3rd at 9:10 AM in the cafeteria.
• The PTO is looking for sponsorships for our perimeter gate banners.  Businesses and Eighth Grade Parents can purchase one with all funds going back to the school (please see attached with details).
• Our generous PTO runs a school store twice a month during both lunches that serves to incentive our PBIS system at GVM.  If you are interested in helping supply items, or assist in working the store, please use the links below.
