Hope this blog finds you well and adjusting to our new norm. 

GMS Art work from home...


Needs ideas on how to create a poem?  Mrs. Juettner has a great idea.




Huge shout-out to the GMS PTA, specifically Mandy K. and Katy H. for hosting the Screenagers screening this week. 

This week you should have received the approved Middle School grading guidelines.  There are some significant changes for students taking high school credit classes.  Within the next few days, you will also receive another email from the district informing you of your child's current grade in high school-level courses, and if you want your child to continue in them.  Knowing there will be lots of questions, I am hosting a parent meeting on May 5th at 11:00.  Please RSVP to michelle.roddewig@austinisd.org to attend. May 6th, you should receive a survey where you will need to inform GMS of your decision to stay in the high school level course or be removed.

GMS is working on end of year celebrations.  We are in current need of pictures of our 8th graders.  Please send photos to michelle.roddewig@austinisd.org by May 15th. 

As we close out the year, students have items that need to be returned.  These are very specific items and you will receive an email from the teacher with more details if this pertains to your child.
Athletics, May 7th, 10:00-12:00, drop off in back by the gym
Band, May 14th, 10:00-2:00, front carpool lane
Orchestra, May 14th 10:00-2:00, loading dock near dumpsters
Dance, May 14th, 10:00-2:00, driveway by portable entering street from the front of the school.

At this time, all student materials will remain where they are until schools reopen. 

Next Principal Coffe is May 11th.  Look for more details.  Have a great weekend.
