Our 5th and 6th graders will be testing this week, April 20–24, 2026. Testing will begin Tuesday and conclude Wednesday.
It is important that all 5th and 6th grade students are present both days to complete the NM‑MSSA assessments in ELA and Math.
To support student success, please ensure your child gets adequate sleep, arrives on time, and encourage them to do their very best. Thank you for your immediate attention and support.
There will be NO EARLY DROP OFF on March 12, 2026, this Thursday, due to important district staff training. We apologize for the late notice and thank you for your cooperation. Campus will open at 8:45 am.

House Bill 253 is being heard 02/09 at 8:30 AM, and your voice matters.
If this bill passes it will cause a $47 million dollar shortfall for GMCS this year - but there is still time to stop this legislation from moving forward. We are asking our community to please call and email members of the House Education Committee and our local legislators and urge them to vote NO on HB 253.
Please know this: GMCS is doing everything within its power to avoid any negative consequences to our students, staff, and community. We are actively advocating, working with legislators, and fighting to protect the funding our students depend on. A few minutes of your time telling our legislators to vote NO on House Bill 253 will make a real difference. Thank you for standing with our students and schools.
