Hi GMS Families. We wanted to let you know that we will be using class time on the afternoon of Feb. 16th (the Tuesday after President’s Day) to return to Advisory for our MAP Assessment. We will spend 1 hour on reading, have a break, spend 1 hour on math, and then make appointments for anyone who needs to finish later. There are lots of parent resources and more details in our weekly newsletter here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/12fDEh3x8VyLsh29ZkV--lJFhQRyNZSri/view

If you would like to opt your student out of this assessment they can simply not return to our Advisory Google Meet after lunch on that day. Please contact your Advisory teacher to let us know, and so we don’t wait for them. We are asking students who don’t participate (or who finish early) to spend that afternoon working on this Black History Month choice board as an asynchronous assignment: https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vRRDTNLNPILRwt6Dvbe7AjRjIcXiuI7x96h4oRSckOrV4HAYWttaDonnT8JPeu2CWjg70mJmPEBkzw-/pub

We will be using this lesson in Advisory on Feb. 11th to help students prepare, answer their questions, and check Chromebook settings as an Advisory. Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns. Thank you! https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/e/2PACX-1vTKs4OoRjrFGxXVIUc_CJYarwJAOYATIyrZCUhNeGZ8Td9V8qAhX-CKz3tWS8a0Etm4KxWhdNJn_5X8/pub?start=false&loop=false&delayms=30000
