No Left Turn During Drop-Off/Pick-Up

Chromebook FAQ: Getting Online at Home

Is your student having trouble accessing certain websites at home, but they work fine at school? They probably just need to use the GCSD Authentication portal.

The GCSD firewall follows students on their Chromebooks and works even more strongly when students take the devices off of district property. If your student is having trouble accessing the internet on home or public wi-fi, it is because of this firewall. Students will often be able to access their email and Google Drive, but not much else when this is the case. To gain access, students must follow these steps to authenticate their wi-fi source.

If you have any other questions about student Chromebooks, their functionality, or are experiencing any problems, please visit our MMS Chromebooks page. You may also email our Technology Clerk, Mrs. Wylie, if you do not find what you're looking for on the site.

Lost & Found

Lost items aren't always gone for good. Students who have misplaced jackets, sweatshirts, lunchboxes, and other non-electronic items should check our Lost & Found room. It is open every Tuesday morning from 8:00-8:30 AM.

View our Lost & Found photo album to see if you spot something that's yours.

Please Note: If you have lost an electronic device (such as a wireless mouse, a phone, etc.), please check with the front office. If you lost a Chromebook, please check with Mrs. Wylie.

Weekly Phone Message

At the beginning of each week during the school year, parents, faculty and staff should expect to receive a recorded message from our Principal, Mrs. Greene, notifying you of school news and important information about the week ahead. If for any reason you miss this phone call and would like to access a typed copy of the message, you need only visit the Weekly Message page of our website.

You can access this page by:

• clicking on the megaphone iconlocated on the homepage at the top of the blue "Upcoming Events" box.
• going to the "About Us" menu at the top of any page on the school website and selecting "Weekly Message".
