Course Review Process:

- Course reviews will take place after final grades and state testing scores are released in June. Decisions to change placement will follow the course progressions and will be communicated over the summer.

Things to keep in mind:
- Every student will have P.E. in his or her schedule unless a parent signs a waiver for the student to be excluded from P.E.
- Applying for these courses does NOT guarantee placement. Core classes scheduling and elective teacher recommendation are considered.
- The semester courses are automatically added to student schedules and placement is based on availability.
SCHOOL POLICIES
Mission:
To create the best learning path for all students. Students understand the value of being engaged in their education as goal-setting, college and career bound questioners, who recognize the value of all learning opportunities.
Overview
Please be aware of the following policies that may affect your student at GRMS during 22-23 school year. View the 22-23 GRMS Parent Information for bell schedule, introductions, etc.
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 22-23 Student Code of Conduct.
Upon entering the school phones MUST be turned off and stored out of view. Earbuds must be removed to assist students in maintaining academic focus.
Expectation: Students are in class on time every class period every day.
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.
Vision:
GRMS will be a progressive school in which students are prepared to achieve at their highest level, preparing them for college and career, surrounded by an engaged community that is proud of its educational accomplishments.
