Have you heard this has been a change to the student dress code?  The GMS Student Council proposed these changes: Students be allowed to wear athletic shorts and all other shorts as long as they are at  least finger tip length; Leggings can be worn with shirts/dresses which must also be at least finger tip length. These proposed changes have now been approved and can begin immediately. Student out of dress code will have their parent's contacted or will need to change clothes.

This is a reminder that all middle school students must pass a keyboarding proficiency test prior to leaving middle school.  This can be done several ways.  Most students just take the keyboarding class.  For those that don't, you must sign up to take the keyboarding test before the spring semester of your 8th grade year.  This year that test date is the last week of January.  Make sure you have a plan for your child to either take the class or test.

The boys basketball teams had their first games this week. The 8th graders didn't end with wins, but were impressive to watch.

Today I attending my first fieldtrip here at Gorzycki.  I went with the 6th graders to the Houston Museum of Natural Sciences.  It was a fun day of learning.

Don't forget there is no school Monday.  Have a great long weekend.
