Suggest that your teen use different-color pens and highlighters when taking notes. They may discover that doing so helps them visualize the material later. They might use yellow for important dates and blue for people’s names, for example. #GCMSOpportunity

You can help your middle schooler do better in math just by asking them to teach you how to do it. They could show you how to solve equations, for example. Explaining concepts will help them understand better and you’ll show them that you feel math is important too.
With our community’s upward trend in COVID-19 cases, GCS will remain on NTI through Nov. 24, the day before Thanksgiving break. Hopeful for a Nov. 30 return, we will continue to monitor public health conditions with an update Thanksgiving weekend. Full message: https://bit.ly/Update111220

Is your teen related to a famous historical figure? Explore family history to bring the past to life and find out. They can use online resources to trace your family’s genealogy and learn where their ancestors came from and what they did.

In case you didn't get to see our GCMS Veterans Day Salute, https://youtu.be/hsZKNqtAJco Thankful for our veterans and active-duty military personnel! #GCMSOpportunity @gcboe
With respect and gratitude to our veterans, today and always - thank you! We're proud to welcome back GCHS Class of ’80 alum and distinguished veteran, retired Army 1SG Roger Lush, who shared his journey with students across the district today by video. Link: https://bit.ly/VeteransLush2020
We would like to take this #GCMSOpportunity to thank all veterans for their service.
Encourage your whole family to think of ways to honor veterans for Veterans Day today. You might hang an American flag outside, write thank-you notes to friends and relatives who are veterans, or make special treats to drop off at veterans’ homes.
