Gettys Middle: Weekly Newsletter

Dear GMS Families,

This is our last week before spring break. I know that everyone is looking forward to a well-deserved break. This week, we will finalize spring MAP testing. Please emphasize to your child that they do their best on this assessment and congratulate them on their hard work this year. Students will also be taking the Climate Survey for the State Report Card this week. Please encourage your child to finish strong before our Spring Break. As a reminder, Friday of this week is a day off for students and staff.

Have a great week,

Jacob Nelson

Principal, Gettys Middle School
