Suggest that your teen draw designs for products that could help people with disabilities navigate daily life. They might sketch a fork that’s easier to hold or a mini ramp that makes crossing the threshold of a patio door safer. Encourage them to build models of their designs.
Future employers will expect your teen to be responsible for knowing when they are supposed to work and showing up on time. They can practice now by setting phone alarms to remind them to study or leaving notes for themselves about chores they need to do. #GCMSOpportunity

Does your teen know what to do if they lose their debit card or overdraws their checking account? Have a discussion with them about how to handle banking issues.. If they do run into a problem, let them be the one to contact the bank so they gain experience. #GCMSOpportunity
Our A schedule students have just completed their first week of their first ever hybrid school year! Mrs. Christian, GCMS Counselor, wanted to show them all how proud we are of them! #GCMSOpportunity
To improve focus, suggest that your teen make their distance-learning or homework area as classroom-like as possible. They should turn off or silence devices they're not using for school, get out supplies they’ll need before each class, and post assignments on a bulletin board.
Social media gives your child a powerful voice. But before they post about a controversial topic, encourage them to think critically. Is their post based on facts? Is it free from personal attacks? If the answer is “no,” then they should revise their writing. #GCMSOpportunity
Good morning GCMS families! Here's a quick tip for parent drop-off. With the temp outside dropping, it is understandable that you have your heater on. If you turn it off & crack the window when you turn into GCMS, it should help with your child's temp screening. #GCMSOpportunity
GCMS certainly enjoyed seeing our "A" students today. Looked a little different, but we made the most of it! Very proud of students and staff for handling things so well! #GCMSOpportunity @gcboe

On the family checklist, there was some confusion about personal devices. School-provided chromebooks and chargers should be brought to school each day. Bringing personal devices to school is helpful, but optional--not mandatory. Sorry for any miscommunication. Thanks!
Ask your teen to name someone they admire and what character traits that person displays. They might say their teacher is kind, helpful, and fair. Encourage them to focus on those traits in themselves—maybe they can become a role model for someone else. #GCMSOpportunity
And, thanks to our Transportation Dept. for all your help in getting our students safely here today! #GreatFirstDayBack #GCMSOpportunity @gcboe
