Message from Mr. Nelson
Dear GMS Families,
As you have probably heard from your child, we are preparing for SC Ready testing to take place over the next few weeks. This testing allows us to celebrate the growth and achievement throughout the course of a year. We also use the data from these assessments to help us as teachers in our focus on continuous improvement. Please begin to have conversations with your child about giving their best effort in class as they review and about being as prepared as possible for the assessments. As always, we greatly appreciate your support!
Have a great week!
Jacob Nelson
Principal, Gettys Middle School
