GCMS Families: A number of SPAM emails were delivered to high school students over the weekend soliciting for money. These are fake, do not click on any links contained in the emails and do not reply to these messages in any way. We are examining our email filters today to prevent this moving forward.
![](https://core-docs.s3.amazonaws.com/gcms_cusd_%235_ar/profile/avatar/68469/circled_ac4c5e17-e920-4ba1-88f2-366e6caf5583.png)
GCMS Families,
Please keep our neighbors, the Ridgeview Mustangs, in your thoughts as they navigate the tragic loss of one of their students as the result of a car accident. Our deepest sympathy goes out to all of the students, staff, and community members in this difficult time.
As a show of support we encourage student and staff to wear navy, silver, gray, and white in honor of the Mustang family.
We encourage GCMS students to reach out to our SEL (social emotional team) should the need arise.
Sincerely,
Mr. Darnell
