Washington Middle School will have two days for students to come and pick up their belongings. We have placed locker items in bags and placed them in the hallway for pick up outside of your students homeroom class. We will have a table set up in the entry way for any books that your child may need to return (library, teacher’s classroom library, etc.). Chromebooks and HotSpots will be returned to the office and you will be given a sign off sheet showing you have returned it. We are also asking that students stop by their gym locker and lost and found to pick for any additional items that may be theirs.
Pick up times are as follows;
Thursday May 14th and Friday May 15th
Last Name A-I 8:00 a.m -10:30 a.m.
Last Name J-R 10:30 a.m. - 1:00 p.m.
Last Name S-Z 1:00 p.m.- 3:00 p.m.
We will be following CDC guidelines and only allowing 10 students in the building at a time and we ask that students follow social distancing.
Thank you!

In recognition of National Teacher Appreciation Week our students and I put together the following slideshow to show our appreciation to our teachers. We miss each one of you and appreciate all you do, especially during this crazy time! GO DEMONS!!!

Social-Emotional Learning is very important to us here at GPS. In the final weeks of school, we will be offering many opportunities for you and your student(s) to watch and participate in some online learning in regards to resilience.
Please join us Monday for this great training with Jeff Veley. If you can't make it at 10:00 am, don't worry, we will be rebroadcasting it at 6:00 pm that night.
Hope you will be able to watch!

#Resilience


From Superintendent Schreibeis:
The GPS Board of Trustees met Wednesday night and unanimously approved the recommendation to continue online remote learning for the remainder of this school year. This is an intentional decision that puts the safety of our students and staff first and foremost. While our school campuses are closed, we have an obligation to ensure our students continue to receive quality education services through the remainder of the school year, with a focus on the delivery of instruction through distance learning and providing school meals to our students. If you currently have questions or concerns about your students’ progress, please take the time to contact your child’s teacher(s).
We recognize the closure of school campuses through the end of the school year brings about many questions. Please be watching for upcoming communication from your child’s principal and teacher(s) on how these last few weeks of the school year will be used to get assignments and work turned in, return textbooks and other school-owned items, and provide additional support that may be needed. More information will be coming out in the upcoming days.
I also want to acknowledge the extraordinary efforts of school staff to serve our students and families with continuity of learning, nutrition, and social/emotional supports during these unprecedented circumstances. We truly have an amazing staff, awesome students, and supportive community!

Please help us in celebrating our Cooks! They are always amazing and deserving of recognition, but during this transition with COVID-19, they have been nothing short of superheros! We really appreciate everything that they do for our students and staff!

Parent/Guardians: Mid-Term grades for 4th quarter will be posted in the Infinite Campus portal this Friday, 4/24 by 4 pm. Please log in to see your child's current quarter progress. https://mtdecloud3.infinitecampus.org/campus/portal/glendive.jsp
We have also made the decision to start using the ICU database again to communicate with parent/guardians regarding the missing work their child has. We did not want to overwhelm parents/students when we began the online learning process but after feedback from parent/guardians who feel they are not sure what their child has turned in or not completed, we felt should take advantage of the communication tool we have been using throughout the year and use the database once again. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at the school at 377-2356. GO DEMONS!!!

GPS is trying to send out emails to all of our parents to help get them set up on Infinite Campus. Infinite Campus is a district-wide student information system designed to manage attendance, grades, schedules, assessments, lunch balances, and other information about our students at Glendive Public Schools.
We are sorry if you got multiple notifications. We had to send the messages out by each school. If you didn't receive an email, please check your spam folder.
Also, we did not have all of our parent's email, so if you did not get an email and would like us to have it, please fill out the following survey and we will get it into our system: https://forms.gle/ArF8yRGHSmLaPJ976

We know that with the new shift to online learning, more families will have to use internet more than they ever have before. Glendive Public Schools is working on ways to help families out in this difficult time. We understand that some families do not have internet which makes it difficult to get the assignments done. Please click on the link below for some information that might help. We will continue to work on solutions to help both our students and staff.
