📢 ATTENTION, GMS Bulldogs! 📢
🚨 Interim Report Update! 🚨
We know you’ve been waiting (some more than others 😅), but due to the weather-related school closures in January, interims will now go home on 📆 Tuesday, February 11, 2025!
That means a few extra days to double-check those grades, turn in any missing work, and finish strong! 💪📚
Stay focused, Bulldogs! 🐾 You've got this! 💙 #GMSBulldogs #StayOnTop #InterimsIncoming
