News and Notes From GKMS

GKMS is currently a thriving learning institution. Some things going on in our school and classrooms:

• Open House was September 20th. If you attended, please take our survey.

• The canned food drive begins for the month of October. Our two biggest community projects for the canned food drive are our Faculty-Student Basketball Game (Oct. 28th, 2pm) and our Halloween Dance (October 31, 3-5pm).

• All GKMS students completed MAP testing in early September. This test gives our teachers an opportunity to plan student-specific learning goals for the school year. The results of the test will be in with the first quarter report card.

• Across the district, students are actively participating in 6+ Traits of Writing initiatives. Students at GKMS are deeply involved in 6+ Traits in their Language Arts classes. For a brief description, visit this website.
