From the Principal

Greetings Parents and Students!

The second semester is moving along at a fast pace. We are nearing the end of the third quarter of school and heading quickly toward NM state test time (NMSBA). We have 17 more instructional days until the first day of testing. Testing will start on March 27th and continue through April 5th. Make up testing will occur through April 12th. PLEASE make sure your children are in school every day as we are working hard to make sure our kids score proficient and advanced in Math, Reading, Writing and Science.

The basketball season has ended, and I would like to say thank you to all parents, students and staff for supporting our student-athletes and helping us conduct the games. Good Job athletes! It is now time to prepare for next year's sports season by making good grades!

This past fall New Mexico implemented the A - F grading system for schools across the State. School grades are based on a school's current performance and student growth on the NMSBA, as well as student attendance and parent involvement. I am happy and proud of our school for receiving an A grade. We are the only middle school and only one of two schools in the Gallup McKinley County School District that received an A. I know that our teachers worked hard and continue to work tirelessly with your children on their Reading, Writing and Math skills so that they can achieve proficiency on the NMSBA. Our school goals are to increase the number/percentage of students who score "PROFICIENT" or "ADVANCED" on the state test each year. We also work hard to move students from the lower level of "Beginning Steps" to the next level or category which is "Nearing Proficiency." Thank you parents for making sure your child(ren) is/are at school every day and for encouraging them to do their best on school work. We will work hard to maintain our A grade, especially with your continued support.

If you have questions about anything at our school, please feel free to call me at 505-721-4600 or Email: anozie@gmcs.k12.nm.us Thank you.

GO HAWKS!!

Mrs. Alberta F. Nozie
