Hello GBMS Families,
This is Mr. Brandon, principal of Gulf Breeze Middle, with an important message for parents and families. We conducted a lockdown drill at school today as part of our regular emergency drill process as required by state law. We know that drills can cause possible concerns for our students, but we believe it’s important for them to know exactly what to do in an emergency and these practice drills enhance their safety. Again, all students are safe, and this is simply a required lockdown drill. Thank you for your understanding and support.

We have our anti-bullying dress up days this week in our continued stance against bullying at GBMS. Tomorrow, Tues. Oct 14, students will wear orange to "orange out bullying"
Good afternoon, this is Mr. Brandon from GBMS. Tomorrow, October 10th, is the last day of the 1st 9 weeks. All work should be made up and completed tomorrow. There will be no school on Monday, October 13th, as teachers will have a planning day to finish grades and plan for the 2nd 9 weeks. Our PTO fundraiser is still going on. If we could get each family to purchase one item, we would easily make our goal. Please continue to support our wonderful PTO. Have a great night.

Dear Parent/Guardian,
This is to inform you of Florida State Board of Education statute related to required
instruction in health education topics for students in Grades K-12. Florida Statute 1003.42
requires school districts to develop a comprehensive, age-appropriate, and developmentally
appropriate K-12 instruction for various topics including suicide prevention, substance use and
abuse prevention, dating violence, abstinence, resiliency, and child trafficking prevention
education.
In accordance with Florida State Board of Education Rule 6A-1.094124, Required Instruction
Planning and Reporting requires school districts to annually provide a minimum of five (5) hours
of data-driven instruction to students in grades 6-12 related to civic and character education and
life skills education through resiliency using the health education standards, including the social,
emotional, and physical effects of social media.
To meet these mandatory state requirements, our school district utilizes an online program,
Navigate 360/Compass Curriculum, which contains lessons created by experts in the field and
cover grade level mandated topics in an appropriate, interactive manner. Lessons are presented
in an online format and may be presented either individually, in whole, or small groups. Families
have access to view all lessons by logging in through the student portal under the Clever app
where the Compass Curriculum app resides. It is important to note and reiterate that this
requirement is mandated by the Florida State Board of Education, and these lessons will be
presented to all secondary students in our district, including Dual Enrollment students and any
student participating virtual learning.
Thank you,
Tracy Murphy
