This Week at GCMS:
As we race to the end of the first semester and enjoy all the celebration of the season, I want to wish everyone my sincerest wishes for a very Merry Christmas and Happy and Prosperous New Year! As we celebrate the birth of Jesus, the season of giving, family gatherings, and all that goes with it, I hope that each of you is able to relax and enjoy some down time and rest. To say that GCMS has been busy would be quite an understatement, but I have to say this place has been rockin’ lately. From Santa Hats to Reindeer Antlers, the school has been a very festive locale. I have also been able to get into several classrooms to see that “Yes Virginia, the Children are Still Learning!” I have a few notes to share as the week draws to a close.
School Christmas Play:
Our GCMS drama club did a wonderful job entertaining our students with the play “Santa Lives” on Tuesday. The classic tale of “Yes Virginia, There is a Santa Claus” came to life on the GCMS stage, and toward the end of the play, the madcap comedy and action really peaked! Great job, drama club!

Observations:
(Repeated
from previous Cougar Notes) Observation
reminders: all non-tenured (and
probation year) teachers will need a second mini-observation by January
13. Please contact your observing
administrator to schedule your observation.
Those teachers who need a peer observation this year should have those
completed by January 13 as well. Full
observations for summative year teachers may be completed any time after your
peer observation has been completed.
