GCMS Families,
Yesterday was the requested deadline for completing online registration. We are very thankful for the 75% of our families who have completed the process. On July 18th Mr. Willis sent out the links to engage in this process and we are just two weeks away from the first day all of our children will start the 2022-2023 school year. If you have not completed registration we need this done as soon as possible. The first few days of school are exciting and busy and we want to ensure a great experience for all. Please check your emails for the invitation to register and get those completed. We are ramping up to have your students for 78,750 minutes this school year and we want to make each one the best we can!
Sincerely,
Mr. Darnell

Our new Infinite Campus system has an app! You can look for both the Infinite Campus Parent and Infinite Campus Student apps in the App Store and Google Play. When you first log in you will need to search for our district. We are listed with our full name so search for "Gib" rather than GCMS and our school should pop up.
An important FYI to parents logging in to Infinite Campus: The next time you log in you will be prompted to enter a security email. This can be the same email you first used when setting up your account. This allows you to recover your username and/or password when needed.
GCMS Families: Please take a moment to review our upcoming important dates and other recent updates from Mr. Darnell: https://www.gcmsk12.org/article/788224
