GMS Semester Tests will be next week on Wednesday, May 21, and Thursday, May 22. GMS students will find out their exemption status on Monday during Homeroom. If they are exempt in any classes, they will bring home a signed note from their homeroom teacher. The exemption policy can be found on page 6 of the student handbook or on the school website.
SEMESTER TEST EXEMPTION POLICY (student handbook p. 6):
Semester tests will be given at the end of each semester. The policy states that students will be exempt from taking semester tests if they meet the following criteria in a class:
Grade Absences
A 3 or fewer
B 2 or fewer
C 1 or fewer
All students with a grade of D or F must take semester tests. School activity absences are the only absences that do not count against the student, or disqualify them from a semester test exemption. Students who enter the district after the first nine weeks of the semester do not qualify for exemptions.

5th and 6th grade gifted and talented students were treated to a day trip to OKC to visit the Oklahoma State Capitol and the OKC Bombing Memorial. The students received a tour of the grounds of the Bombing Memorial and went on a walking tour of the inside of the State Capitol. While there they shared lunch with State Representative Josh West and he even recognized them from the Floor of the House as they sat in the Gallery. A big shout out to GATE Teacher Deana Glasgow for arranging the trip and Becky Shelley who accompanied the group. Also thanks to Tosha Sherman who jumped in last minute to drive our students on this important trip.
GHS Seniors and Parents: The graduation ceremony for the Class of 2025 is scheduled to begin at 7 pm on Friday, May 23rd, at Ridgerunner Stadium.
As we all know, the weather can be unpredictable during this time of year. If there is concerning weather for 7 pm that night, we are planning to handle it just like we would an outdoor sporting event. If we need to postpone for safety, we will do so according to the rules set forth by the OSSAA. Graduation will continue through light rain if that is all there is. The ceremony will proceed as soon as it is safe to do so in accordance with the rules set forth for outdoor events.
Thank you for your patience and understanding!
