Gotha Update - Week of November 30, 2020
Hello Gotha Families. Here is your update for the week of November 30, 2020.
If you are like me and using Amazon to shop this holiday season, you can donate to our school with one small step! On your mobile device in your Amazon app, go to settings and click AMAZONSMILE. If you are working from a computer, you can sign up here. By choosing Gotha Middle School PTO Inc as your preferred charity, Amazon will donate a percentage of the sale back to the school at no cost to you. This is a quick and easy way to help us raise money that will impact our students, staff and families!
I’m sure you have all seen the small, white donation station at the front of our school driveway. If you’re cleaning out your closets this season and have those bags of clothes to donate, consider bringing them up to the school and placing them in that bin. We receive fundraising dollars based on weight and those funds can be used in any way to support our school.

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!! I hope everyone is well. Remember if your student is not feeling well, please keep them home. If you or someone in your household has tested positive for COVID 19, please let us know. Your student will need to stay at home and follow the FDOH quarantine guidelines, even if they’ve tested negative. Stay safe, and as always, it’s a great day to be a grizzly!

REMINDERS:
8th Grade Behavior Contract - 8th Grade parents, students reviewed and signed off on the behavior contract before the break. We need parents to sign off as well. If you haven’t already, please read and complete the PARENT SURVEY. Students will not be able to attend 8th grade activities, including Gradventure, without parent and student acknowledgement of the behavior contract.
Please remember that we have set up daily Learning Labs from 4:30 - 6:00pm through the YMCA After School Zone. The YMCA ASZ is a free program for families.
