Reading memoirs will help your teen see the world from different points of view. Suggest that they browse the library’s e-book collection for ones by people they admire or have studied in school. They may even be inspired to write their own memoir. #GCMSOpportunity
Invite your teen to work with you to help others. You might pick up groceries for a sick friend, or cook a casserole to take to a relative with a new baby, for example. It’ll give you an excuse to hang out and reconnect while doing something kind for someone else.
Two meal options are now available! Meals on the Bus will continue to operate on its current schedule through this week (Dec. 18). Or, you can order a five-day meal kit instead, available for pickup. Just email Kristy Hodges to place your order.
What a treat! Kari and Bethany Ray visited GCMS, bringing cupcakes for the staff. Also, Bethany shared a beautiful rendition of "O, Holy Night" for our front office staff! Congrats to Bethany for making All-State Symphonic Orchestra! #GCMSOpportunity @gcboe
Documentaries can give your teen a deeper understanding of topics they study in school. If they're studying the Earth in science, they might stream a NASA program. Or they could watch a National Geographic show about a country or region they're earning about in history.
Pick a category, such as types of rings. Set a timer for three minutes and have family members list things that fit the category (wedding ring, Saturn’s rings, doorbell ring). Compare lists and cross off duplicates. The person with the most unique item wins! #GCMSOpportunity

Asking questions about your child’s math assignment can help them think through the process and deepen their understanding. Some simple ones to try: “What do you think when you look at this problem?” “What should you do first?” “Why do you need that step?” #GCMSOpportunity
In the midst of a pandemic, Mr. Zayne Priddy is leading our Grow, Green, Give Cougar Zone program in studying aquaponics. The plants you see here are being grown in water with no soil. Innovative teaching bringing opportunities for students! #GCMSOpportunities @gcboe
Parents and kids can find common ground with music. When your child mentions a song they like, take time to listen with them. Then, introduce them to music you enjoyed at their age. Or make playlists for each other to share your different tastes. #GCMSOpportunity

Very proud of our small groups of students who are still attending short in-person instruction sessions! Opportunity > Obstacles! #GCMSOpportunity @gcboe
During NTI, the GCMS staff is still working hard to make sure that our students have the best possible learning experience! #GCMSOpportunity @gcboe
Be consistent with the rules you set for your teen. For example, if you let them slide when they break curfew one night, but ground them for it the next time, they’ll be more likely to question your rules and test their limits. #GCMSOpportunity
