8th Grade Fundraiser at Chipotle
The 8th-grade team will be sponsoring a fundraiser at Chipotle on Monday, February 25th from 4 to 8. Please come to the Chipotle at 564 N. Frederick Ave. and tell them you’re there to support the 8th graders at Gaithersburg Middle School. Your contribution will go towards helping GMS 8th graders enjoy and participate at the end of year activities. If you have any questions please ask Mr. Padilla or Mrs. Larcamp. Thank you for your help.
Student Attendance
Daily attendance is necessary for a student to be successful at school. In addition, patterns of regular attendance and on-time arrival established now will help students throughout their education and their employment years.
If a student’s absence or tardy is excused, they should bring a note from a parent or guardian excusing them. Failure to bring a note within three days will automatically be considered unexcused.
Student’s attendance and tardies are monitored by the school. Beginning Marking Period 3 on January 29, 2019, students will be receiving consequences after three tardies to school.
Yearbook
Are you curious about the GMS yearbook? Check out the preview pages in the display cases outside the cafeteria! These are just 3 of the 64 pages in the yearbook.
Order your yearbook by Friday, February 15th!!! The price goes up after the 15th! You can order online by going to the GMS website and clicking on the yearbook link.
Minority Scholars
Applications for Minority Scholars are due ASAP.
If you need an application or have any questions, please see Mr. Padilla, Ms. Mesina or Ms. Hunsberger.
Business Challenge Program
Do you want to challenge yourself? Do you want real-world experience for your resume? Are you interested in solving a local problem? Do you wish to start a business someday?
Mr. Stouffer is sponsoring a Business Challenge program that will start February 27th and last until the end of May. If so, please stop by Mr. Stouffer’s classroom to pick-up a flyer.
