Gulf Breeze Middle School

Dear Parent/Caregiver,

As part of our commitment to continuous improvement, we are conducting a survey in partnership with Studer Education to monitor our progress in creating a positive school experience for you and your child(ren). Your feedback is crucial in helping us identify areas for recognition and improvement.

The survey will ask you to select the school your child(ren) attends. Once you complete the survey for one school, you will have the option to provide feedback on another school, if you have a child at another school in the district. Providing feedback to each school should take approximately 10-15 minutes to complete. We encourage you to complete it in one sitting, as your responses will be saved once you click submit.

The Parent/Caregiver Experience Survey can be accessed here:
• Santa Rosa County District Schools - Parent/Caregiver Experience Survey

• QR Code link:


The survey is scheduled for 2/17/2026 through 3/13/2026.

To maintain confidentiality of the Parent/Caregiver Survey, our partners at Studer Education will be administering the survey, managing the data collection, and aggregating the data to provide results reports to leaders.

Thank you for your partnership,
Michael Brandon
Principal

Will you be doing some Spring Cleaning soon? Instead of throwing all those stuffies, blankets, old towels and old t-shirts away, donate them into the boxes in the hallways for the pet shelter NJHS is supporting. NJHS is holding a pet shelter supply drive from March 23-31. Donations can include t-shirts, towels, blankets, fresh sealed food, pet toys and all other pet supplies. All is appreciated. Let’s stuff the boxes, so Ole Mother Hubbard’s cupboard is not bare.

Two more days until BINGO NIGHT! (Dinner is included.) Don't forget to buy your tickets! Our GRAND PRIZE is a 1 night stay at Fairfield Inn with pool passes. Scan the QR code in the flyer or click here to buy your tickets: https://tinyurl.com/mpc83euh

The Gulf Breeze Middle School Builder’s Club is collecting new socks and underwear for students at Oakcrest Elementary School in Pensacola. Many of the students at the school do not have enough socks or underwear. If you can, please send in socks and underwear for students ages 5-12. There are collection boxes in each hall of the school. The final day to send them in is March 10th. They will be delivered to Oakcrest on the 11th.

Good afternoon Dolphins,
This is just a reminder that we do not allow flowers, candy, or gifts to be delivered to students on Valentines Day. We are sorry for the inconvenience, but we just do not have the room in the front office to store everything until the end of the day and we do not want students walking around with them. Thank you for your understanding. Today is the last day for 8th grade Ads for the yearbook. Have a great night.

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.
