Good evening Gotha Families -
I hope you are all enjoying last weeks summer and have been able to make many lasting memories together! I cannot believe that we are just one week away from the start of another school year. We are just one percentage point away from achieving that “A” and we will get there this year!
Our teachers are already back at the school preparing for your students. As is the case every year, we will be focusing on literacy across the content areas, effective classroom practices, building relationships and safety and security.
MEET YOUR TEACHERS
6th Grade MYT - Students and their grown up will go through the bell schedule in order to experience “A Day in the Life” of their new middle schooler. 6th graders will receive a paper copy of their schedule. Plan to arrive at 9:00 to get information about transportation, the YMCA Before and After School Programs, our PTO and to purchase Gotha Spirit Wear! MYT will start at 10:00.
7th/ 8th Grade MYT - Students and their grown ups are invited to campus to find their new classrooms and teachers in more of an “open house” environment. 7th and 8th graders will need to access their new schedule on Skyward. Plan to arrive at 12:00 to get information about transportation, the YMCA Before and After School Programs, our PTO and to purchase Gotha Spirit Wear! MYT will start at 12:30.
