GCMS Parents/Guardians: Please help us spread the word about our small, targeted group Fridays in January. (Read this graphic) Remember, most students are at-home/NTI. Thank you! #GCMSOpportunity @gcboe
Here’s an idea that can help your teen start an early morning workout routine: Sleep in workout clothes! Wearing a t-shirt & shorts or leggings to bed is comfortable, & it will save them a step in the morning. Waking up ready to go may be just the motivation they need.
Another great day of in-person learning at GCMS! Opportunity > Obstacles #GCMSOpportunity @gcboe
GCMS Students are focused on growth mindset this week. We're learning to take a year filled with obstacles and turn those into opportunities! #GCMSOpportunity @gcboe
Great week of in-person learning at GCMS! Very proud of our students for picking right back up where we left off! #GCMSOpportunity @gcboe
Homemade vegetable soup is a tasty & inexpensive way to encourage your teen to eat more veggies. It is a comforting way to warm up too! Try making soups from other cultures. Your teen could make a spicy bean soup from Mexico or a hearty minestrone soup from Italy.
Congrats to the 7th Grade Boys Basketball Cougars for a big win over Butler Co. last night! #GCMSOpportunity @gcboe
Is your teen a techie? Suggest that they take an online class to learn a new technology skill. Perhaps they could learn to build a website, design a mobile app, or write a computer program. These skills would carry forward into their career. #GCMSOpportunity

Please remember to check your child’s temperature and any symptoms each day before leaving or sending them to school. Continue to contact your child's school as soon as you know of a possible exposure or confirmed case. More on the Relaunch page at http://graysoncountyschools.com.
GCMS Parents/Guardians: Please click this link to read slides with important information concerning in-person classes next week! https://5il.co/odze Thank you for your support! #GCMSOpportunity
Boost your teen’s interest in science by suggesting that they enter a virtual science fair. Many offer scholarships or cash prizes, and your child may decide they're interested in a science-related career. Visit ipl.org/div/projectguide/ to get started.
Given the projected community health climate for the next several weeks and to simplify planning for families, GCS will operate on a Mon. – Thurs. ONLY in-person A/B schedule for the month of January. See full message from Supt. Robinson: http://bit.ly/GCSUpdate010721
What do the custodians do during NTI? At GCMS, they keep everything sanitized, and also complete some fabulous painting and updates to our facility! Thanks for making our building a great place to learn! #GCMSOpportunity @gcboe
The “impulse control” part of your teen’s brain is still developing. Before they make an impulsive decision, ask what they would think if a book or movie character did the same thing. Looking at it from an outside perspective may make them think twice.
Attention GCMS Parents/Students: Need some extra help with your classes? Check out how to easily sign-up for new-and-improved Cougar Zone Tutoring from this video: https://youtu.be/zFFvClo3hhk Quick and easy! #GCMSOpportunity @gcboe
Social media quizzes are fun, but remind your teen to think and use caution before posting. A quiz that asks for information people commonly include in passwords (pet’s name, favorite food, birth year) may be designed to hack into accounts.

While vaping among teens declined in 2020, it’s still critical to talk to your child about e-cigarettes. Explain that nicotine is addictive, plus there’s no good data on the long-term effects of vaping. Let them know what the consequences are from vaping.
These videos from GCMS Band and Orchestra were recently shared with our local nursing homes. Proud of these students and directors for not letting Covid interrupt sharing their talents! Orchestra: http://bit.ly/3mDKkkp Band: http://bit.ly/2LXhQp7 #GCMSOpportunity @gcboe
