MAP Testing

MAP testing is just wrapping up at GKMS.  Ask your student about it.  In MAP testing, all students take the computer based assessment in Math and Reading.  The test continuously monitors correct and incorrect responses and shapes the assessment to accurately assess your students' level of performance.  The results give teachers a clear understanding of each students' strengths and areas of weakness so we can better meet individual needs. 

Copies of results will be sent home with progress reports.  Thanks.

A New Year at GKMS

Welcome back everyone!  We are looking forward to a great year here at GKMS.

Classes are in full swing as we use best practice instructional strategies to deliver standards based curriculum.  Our students also have the opportunity to participate in extra curricular sports, clubs, and volunteer activities.  Feel free to contact me for additional information.

An excellent student and parent tool is Assignment Connection.  Log in to Powerschool, and you will have access to what your student experienced in all their classes each day.  Powerschool is generally up to date by 1:00PM each day.

We look forward to a great year helping students excel and contribute to our community!
