Laptops:

Students have picked up their laptops for in school use. All parents should be on the lookout for paperwork that outlines participation in the District’s laptop repair pool as well as designates a spot indicating whether or not their student has parental permission to take the laptop home. If 8th grade parents attended a session last year, they do not need to attend again this year. However, if you did not attend or are the parent of a student who is new to GMS, you must attend a session in order for your child to take the laptop home.
