Glenview Middle School

Hello Gators! Take a few minutes to read through this week's The Gator Gazette for all of our latest updates. Our Gators have been very busy and that continues into December. A quick reminder that STAR Assessments begin this week. Please encourage your GMS student to get a good night's rest, charge their Chromebook/device and make sure that they bring it to school every day. Please note: Loaner devices are available for students who are having their device fixed through the EMSD TechBench. Good Luck on the Winter STAR Assessment Gators! Have a GATOR week! 💙🐊💛 https://secure.smore.com/n/9zxn4
