Dear Bulldog Parents and Guardians,
We have been noticing an increase in over-the-counter medications being brought to school by students. For safety reasons, students are not allowed to keep these medications with them. All medications must be brought to the school nurse to be properly processed and administered.
We also ask that you check your child’s belongings for sharp objects such as scissors, rattail combs, or other items that could cause harm. These items are not permitted at school, and your help in checking ahead of time means a safer environment for everyone.
We know it may feel like a lot, but just like we adults have rules to follow, such as not speeding 100 miles per hour down Highmarket Street 🚦, our students must follow rules too.
Thank you in advance for teaming up with us to keep our Bulldog family safe and strong. Your support means the world. 💙🐾

Our scientists-in-training 🧲🔬 got hands-on with forces today! They tested magnets and friction to see how forces can be contact or non-contact 💥🤯. Science + fun = a perfect combo! 😎🎉


💥 Robbery Under the Sea! 🌊🐠
After learning about the suspects in this ocean mystery, students put on their detective hats 🕵️♀️ and used C.E.R. to figure out who committed the crime!
🔹 C = Claim
🔹 E = Evidence
🔹 R = Reasoning
These science sleuths are proving that learning can be mysterious AND fun! 🧠✨






🚨🐾📐 BIG things are happening at GMS! 📐🐾🚨
Mrs. Erhardt has been holding it down for Mrs. Duncan’s 6th Grade Math Class while Mrs. Duncan is home enjoying her sweet newborn 👶💖.

The creativity was WILD, and the math skills were on point! 💯🔥
👏 A HUGE shout-out to these amazing students, Mrs. Duncan, and Mrs. Erhardt for making math ROAR with excitement! 🐯📚

Dear Georgetown Middle Parents:
Thank you for entrusting your children with us at Georgetown Middle School, while allowing us to provide your child with a quality education. Safety is the number one priority for our students and staff at GMS. Therefore, procedures must be in place in order that we can implement our emergency and crisis plans efficiently and effectively. Practicing for such drills is one way to safeguard that the students know what to do in the event of an actual emergency.
We will be conducting a “lockdown drill,” on Monday August 11, 2025 with a focus of an intruder inside the building. The drill will focus on what our teachers, students, and support staff should do in the event that we have an intruder within the school with the intent to do harm. The purpose of the drill is to provide our students and staff with practice on how to react in a situation in the event that there is an intruder inside the building. During the “lockdown drill,” classroom activities will be interrupted in order for the staff and students to practice executing the drill successfully.
We strongly encourage you to talk to your child about what to do both at school and at home in the event of an emergency. If you have any questions about the upcoming lockdown drill or any of our safety procedures please don’t hesitate to contact us at 843-527-4495.
Sincerely,
Mr. Seth Hillman

We’re in middle school, and this is the place where students grow, learn, and focus on their future. Lately, the dress code has become a major distraction, and we truly need your help, parents. 🙏
We don’t enjoy making calls about clothing. We’d much rather call home with positive news and celebrations. So let’s partner up to keep our focus where it belongs: on education. 📚💡
* ***No Pajamas Please
👗 Crop Tops: We’re seeing more tied-up shirts and midriffs showing. While the style is cute, it’s not appropriate for school. Please save these trendy outfits for the weekend.🙅♀️ Let’s make sure everything is fully covered. School is not the place for low-cut tops.
🩳 Leggings & Bodysuits: Super comfy? Yes. But without a longer top to cover up, they’re a bit too revealing for class. Let’s aim for fashionable AND school-appropriate!
👖 Shorts & Mini Skirts: Yes, it’s hot—but if your child bends over and too much is showing, it's too short for school. If you can feel the breeze, please don’t wear it. 😉 Let’s keep those cheeks in check!
👖 For the Boys: Sagging is still showing up, and so is underwear. Let’s keep it respectful and remind our young men to keep it classy and pull those pants up!
We don’t wear any Hats or Hoods in the building.
💬 These dress code reminders are not about policing style. They're about minimizing distractions and creating a space where all students can succeed. We want our students to feel confident AND focused.
💙 Thank you for teaming up with us to keep our school environment respectful, positive, and focused on learning. We can’t do it without you! ✨




Big Blue has the best views! 💙👀
It’s giving vibes after the storm. ✨🌈
📸: Mrs. Fesperman


Why not give our amazing teachers and staff something sweet as a treat? 💙✨
Because THIS is what we do at BIG BLUE — we celebrate, we appreciate, and we show LOVE! Shoutout to Chick-Fil-a

Sure, we’ve got a few wrinkles to iron out, but overall? EPIC start.
So excited for what 2025–2026 has in store! 💫
Until next time... signing off.
Whispers: Thank goodness it’s the weekend 😌🙌

We are beyond excited to see our GMS students return and kick off an amazing school year!
📚 Parents, we know you're just as excited — maybe even a little nervous — but please remember: escorting students to class is not permitted. Don't worry, though...
They are in GREAT hands! 🙌
Our staff is ready to guide, support, and cheer them on every step of the way. Let’s make this year the BEST ONE YET!



School starts back tomorrow August 1, 2025.
🎉 Parents and teachers are buzzing with excitement for the 2025-2026 school year at GMS.
This year, we're gearing up to make things even BIGGER!
Why? Becuase we only know how to do things BIG!
💙 Drop a blue heart in the comments for Big Blue!
Let's show everyone why we're THE BIGGEST!
