Dear Parent(s):

On behalf of the staff at George Middle School, we are excited and happy to welcome you to the 2018-2019 school year!  We are looking forward to a productive partnership with you to ensure our children can achieve their highest potential. 

Academics continue to be a top priority at GMS and our focus this year will be based on working together to increase student achievement. We recognize that in order to be successful in school, our children need support from both the home and school. We need to make sure that our students arrive for the new school year with the belief that education is important and requires hard work. A strong partnership with you will make a tremendous difference in your child’s education. As partners, we share the responsibility for our children’s success and we want you to know that we will do our very best to carry out our responsibilities.

Cell Phone Policy–Attached is a copy of our school cell phone policy so that you and your child can review it together. If you have any questions about the cell phone policy, please feel free to contact me or to discuss them with other members of our administrative staff. It is very important that you and your child are fully informed regarding standards related to appropriate behavior for a safe and productive school year.

If you have questions or concerns that arise at any time, please do not hesitate to give your child’s teacher or me a call.
