Last week our Best Buddy officers received an award from the Len Mattiace’s Anti-Bullying Campaign for their service projects this year. The officers held a sock drive for the Homeless Coalition at the beginning of the year, collecting over 1,000 pair of socks! They also made large placemats for the residents of The Ponce nursing facility and rehab center to use in their dining room. There is no better way to carry out the mission of Best Buddies than to care for others. Well done, buddies!!! 💜

Following Spring Break, Mrs. Kinnaman’s 8th grade Biology students began a unit on biomes. As part of the unit, students first developed research skills in the library before investigating the impact of human activity on Earth’s biomes. Using the information they gathered, students designed and created their own educational board games. The unit culminated today in the library when Mrs. Crupi’s 6th grade Accelerated Science students played the games, reinforcing their understanding of the water cycle as it occurs across different biomes.

DO YOU KNOW OUR POLICIES
Thank you for your understanding and compliance as we work together for all students’ success!
Overview
Please be aware of the following policies below that may affect your student at GRMS during 25 – 26 school year.
DRESS CODE POLICY
The dress and grooming of our students should contribute to the health and safety of the individual, promote a positive educational environment and not disrupt the educational activities and processes of the school. Gamble Rogers Middle School follows the school district’s dress code guidelines explained in the 25 – 26 Student Code of Conduct.
Provisional Transportation Waiver
The St. Johns County School District Provisional Transportation Waiver Program (PTWP) extends transportation services to students assigned to district schools based on space availability and criteria. The PTWP Form can be completed in BusPlanner.
From The Front Office
Drop-Off Items
All items (clothes, shoes, monies, keys, books, etc.) Must Be In A Bag (except band instruments, homework and lunch boxes) labeled with the student’s name and grade.
Thank you for your help with this!
Early Check-Out
If you need to take your student out of school early, the latest time that he/she can be picked up is at 1:20PM (12:20PM on Wednesdays). Only parents, guardians, or other individuals identified on the student’s contact list, with appropriate identification, will be allowed to check-out the student.
Note – we do not send children to the front office until you have arrived and shown your photo ID to the front office staff.
Food Policy
Stingray families — Parents will not be permitted to drop off food from outside sources to their student during the school day. This includes all fast food/restaurant meals.
Thank you for your understanding.
Tdap immunization is required for all 7th graders
Proof of this immunization on the DH 680 form can be brought to the front office, faxed (904-547-8715), or emailed to Ms. Greve even if your student is still in 6th grade. Per district policy, all 7th grade students are required to submit an updated DH 680 form to include Tdap prior to the start of 7th grade. Failure to provide updated immunization records will delay your child’s start date.
