Is your teen feeling down? If your child seems extremely sad for longer than two weeks, or if you notice changes in eating and sleep habits, loss of interest in activities, or extreme irritability, talk to your family physician or seek out a therapist. GCMS can help guide you.
Beginning Mar. 1 until Spring Break, in-person students will return on the A/B hybrid schedule, including alternating Fridays. See message from Supt. Robinson on plans for additional in-person days moving forward, copy of March calendar. Link: http://bit.ly/March21GCS
Studies show that students who take advanced classes can learn more and become better prepared for college and careers. Encourage your teen to ask the school counselor about which advanced classes might be a good match, then sign up for one or two to take next year.

When adults admit their mistakes, it sets a good example for teenagers. The next time you catch yourself making a mistake, tell your child—and explain what you’ll do about it. (“I paid my credit card payment late. I’m setting a calendar alert so it doesn’t happen again.”)
Cook up some science in the kitchen. Invite your teen to come up with a fluffier biscuit or a softer cookie, for example. Suggest researching ingredients, temperatures, and cooking times online, and experimenting with them to get a better result.
NTI will continue for in-person students this Thursday and Friday, Feb. 18 – 19. We look forward to welcoming back our A group students next Monday and B group on Tuesday.
When your teen takes notes in class, suggest writing notes on the left-hand page of the notebook and leaving the right-hand page blank. That way, your child will have space to add new information or jot down questions about the notes to ask the teacher. #GCMSOpportunity
Weds, Feb 17, will be an NTI day for in-person students. Be sure and get out for some fun in the snow, too. Stay safe!!
Tues, Feb 16, will be an NTI day for in-person students. Have some fun in the snow, stay warm, stay safe!!
In honor of Presidents’ Day, suggest that your teen learn how past presidents shaped history. A good place to start is by researching major events online, such as the Civil War and the Industrial Revolution. What impact did presidents have on the course of history?
