Welcome to Gotha Middle School!

Gotha Update 3/11/2024

Monica Emery

Hello Gotha Families!

Congratulations to Zachary Martin!   Zachary is our Cambridge Learner Attribute Student of the Week.  He was nominated by Ms. Cavanaugh for being CONFIDENT.  

I cannot express my gratitude enough to our Gotha PTO for sponsoring, organizing and running our 8th grade dance, The Candyland Sneaker Soirée.  We had over 180 kids here at the school Saturday and it was a perfect night.   Thank you to all of those families that made it so special for the kids.

8th grade families don’t forget Gradventure is May 17th and payment must be made on SchoolPay by this Friday, March 15th.  The cost of the event is $135 and includes park entrance to Universal, bus transportation, dinner and a shirt. 

The 2024 Annual Stakeholder Survey window is open until April 12, 2024.  I personally use the family survey data to gauge the community’s satisfaction with how we are serving you and your student.  We look for positive responses to see what we are doing well.  Please take a moment to give us feedback by clicking THIS LINK.

We have fewer than 100 yearbooks left for sale.  All students who pre order a yearbook will get an invitation to our first annual Yearbook Patio Pizza Party! They’ll be able to pick up their yearbooks during lunch on the patio on distribution day. Pizza and pens will be provided so students can gather together, look through and sign their books, and enjoy lunch on the patio!  You can purchase a Gotha Middle School yearbook online at www.BuyTheYearbook.com and our school code is 715596.
