Dear GMH Families,
I hope you are having a safe, warm, and wonderful weekend. This week’s message contains important information for the upcoming week or two. Please take a moment to review the information.
Basketball Game vs. Pollard
We invite you to join us for what promises to be an exciting basketball game against Pollard this Thursday. This is always a well-attended community event that showcases our school spirit. The PTSA will hold a brief meeting between games to discuss several exciting capital projects planned for our school's improvement.
Martin Luther King Day of Service - January 20th
We are proud to announce our participation in the Chatham County Schools MLK Day of Service on January 20th from 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM.

CULTURE
SYSTEMS
PowerSchool is an advanced Student Information System used by schools across the country. Its functions include grading, attendance, and the scheduling of courses. PowerSchool is capable of allowing parents and students to access student grades and attendance in real time, as well as state assessment individual reports. The purpose of this feature is to increase communication and collaboration among parents, students, and teachers. It gives parents and guardians more information about their child’s education and encourages students to take increased ownership of their learning.
Parents/Guardians are provided an opportunity each fall to review their contact information and their student's information in PowerSchool, yet it is important to contact our data manager Mrs. Bland if any parent/guardian or student information has changed at any time during the year. This will ensure families receive all school communications including (but not limited to) report cards, inclement weather notifications, emergencies, and weekly updates from the school.
