Community Engagement: Cleo Gordon

On April 25, Sandie Lawler the director of The Leaven program came to visit Cleo Gordon. She provides after school tutoring to many of our students. She was very excited to see how engaged students were in their classrooms.  Cleo students were very happy to see Sandie and show off  their work.

Attendance and Honor Roll at GVMS

All students who have perfect attendance for the third quarter are posted on the windows in the library!  There are over 400 students who reached this goal!  We are so proud and have a plan to acknowledge them next year in a more effective way!

All certificates for Honor Roll will be given on Friday May 6th and pictures will be posted to all GVMS Social media sights.  For 16-17, we are going to have three different categories:  Principal's Award (4.0), Honor Roll (3.5-3.9) and Honorable Mention (3.0-3.4).  We plan to have more than just certificates for students as well!

Parent Engagement

Sem Yeto is continually looking for ways to foster an environment of parent engagement. In the month of March, Sem Yeto Satellite put on a Family Art night for parents and relatives of our students. There was a student art competition as well as art classes for the entire family. The event was a huge success for our campus.
