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.  If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to respond to the message.

NOTES: 

• Congratulations to our Students of the Week: Laken Landgraf, Emersyn Sims, Kayla Devariste, and Ava Warriner.

• Big congratulations to our students and the incredible team for a successful PM1 for ELA. Data is ahead of last year- although great news, it is a reminder of the work ahead, as maintaining or increasing student's scale score will be that much more challenging.  However our students will be well prepared.  I’ll send an overview to everyone once make-up assessments are completed.
• Wednesday, 9/16- F.A.S.T. Math- PM1 for all students (except those in algebra), 9:15 AM- 12:30 PM.

• Please help remind students of the importance of PM1- it is not a starting point, rather the point where students left off from PM3 last year. As was discussed last year, the assessment continues to be computer adaptive and will lessen or strengthen the complexity of the test questions based on student responses for Math, as it did for ELA.

• To help sustain our Middle School Athletic Programs, admission fees will be implemented for certain competitions this year.  The district has asked parents and guardians to review information using this link:  Middle School Athletics and/or the district email sent Friday afternoon. 
• Our PTO will host our annual 6^th grade Ice Cream and Pizza Social after school on 9/17, from 4-4:45 PM in the cafeteria.  Permission slips can still be turned in Monday and Tuesday.  Please note that there is no bus transportation.

• Wednesday is the last day for collecting nomination for Golden Apple, please considering filling out a card (in the front office or guidance) or use this link for an electronic submission: virtual nomination link

• 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.

• PTO Business/Family/8th Grade Banners are due Friday, Sept 18th.
• Coming in October we have the PTO 7th Grade Fall Fest and new Spirit Wear options.
• All the banner options, volunteer opportunities, the amazon wish list for the school store, and sign up for the newsletter can be found on the PTO website : https://gulfviewpto.membershiptoolkit.com

• Please assist GVM in ensuring students arrive at school each day prepared for success each day:

1. In GVM Dress Code.
2. GVM ID's and Lanyards on for the entirety of the day.
3. Laptops fully charged.
4. Cell phones powered off and put away from 9:00 AM to 3:50 PM.
