GMCS Word of the Day! Today's word is 'Air'.

It's National School Psychology Week! This is the time to recognize and celebrate the impact school psychologists have in our schools and community. They help identify learning and behavioral needs, provide counseling and interventions, support students’ social-emotional development, strengthen family and school partnerships, and help schools develop strategies that help students thrive. Our GMCS school psychologists work every day to ensure students have the tools, support, and encouragement they need to succeed in school and beyond.

This year's theme is "Inspire Connection." Take some time to reflect on how important connections are in our lives. Think about how you can turn a connection into using your voice for advocacy. Use this time to celebrate what brings us together.

Please join us in celebrating all school psychologists by thanking them for advocating, problem-solving, and showing up for our students when they need you most. Your expertise makes a difference, but it’s your compassion and commitment to our students that truly set you apart. We are incredibly grateful for all that you do!

As winter weather approaches, changing conditions may impact school schedules, transportation, and school activities. We encourage all families and guardians to stay informed by visiting the GMCS Inclement Weather Procedures page.

Review the procedures to learn how the district communicates weather-related delays, cancellations, and other schedule changes. Make sure your Gallup-McKinley County Schools app is updated, and your contact information is up to date in Synergy to stay informed.
