Do you know what BLEND is?  This is the platform used in AISD for student learning.  Most students would say it is where they find their assignments.  Parents have access to BLEND as well.  In BLEND there is a course title Gorzycki Middle Campus Community Course.  It's another way to receive information.  If you aren't clear on how to use this, ask your child.  They have the course as well.  If you are an 8th-grade parent, I have sent you a message.

GMS celebrated Pride Week with clothing specific days.  Today was wear a color of the rainbow.  



Yesterday was "Don't be tacky and discriminate.   Mr. Mahoney is always in the spirit to dress up.

In keyboarding this week, students created presentations on Digital safety.  

Speaking of technology... 8th-grade parents here are some reminders from the GMS tech team:

  1. Please make sure that your student is using the district issued carry case or a protective sleeve for their device. We have already had several screens damaged due to improper handling. 
  2. Beginning Tuesday 10/15, if students are not using their district-issued carry case or a protective sleeve, students will receive lunch detention.
  3. Students should restart their Chromebooks at least once per day. 
  4. Please remind your student to charge his/her Chromebook each night so it's ready to use at school the next day. 
Don't forget the next two weeks are short.  Students are off tomorrow and Monday.
