Good afternoon. This is just a reminder that we will have our annual Open House tonight at 5:30. Parents will “walk” their students schedule and go to each period. We will have our volunteer training before Open House at 5:00 in our cafeteria. Anyone who is interested in volunteering in any way needs to attend this training. In addition, our Book Fair will open at 4:45 and close at 7:30 in the library. See you tonight.

Good morning,
This week your child should have brought home two important pieces of information. On Monday, students were given Flu Mist consent forms. If you would like for your child to receive the free flu mist vaccine, please return the consent form by Tuesday, September 8th. We have school pictures on Wednesday, September 2nd. Picture forms were sent home yesterday. If you would like to pay for a packet for your student, please have your child return the packet on September 2nd. All students will get their picture taken for the yearbook. If you would like to purchase a packet later, we will give you information on how to order. Thanks for a great start to the school year and have a great day.

This Friday, Aug. 21st Gulf Breeze Middle School will begin our online Compass Curriculum, which covers lessons created by experts in the field and cover grade level mandated topics in an appropriated, interactive manner. These lessons are required by Florida State Board of Education statute 1003.42, which is related to required instruction in health education topics for students in Grades K-12. Please see the attached letter and monthly curriculum of topics.

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 had a great first day today. The students were well behaved and made it to every class! Parents, tonight is the night you hate as you fill out all the first day paperwork. Please get these forms back to us as soon as possible. Don't forget when dropping off or picking up to please pull forward as much as possible.

Good evening Dolphins, this is Mr. Brandon and we are looking forward to seeing all of our students tomorrow. If your student did not pick up his or her schedule on Friday, please have them come to the office to pick up the schedule. Due to safety concerns, parents will not be allowed to walk students around the building. We had to do a little balancing over the weekend, and some classes may have changed for students that did not pick up their schedules. If students arrive to campus before 7:05, they can go to two places depending on the grade level. All 6th grade students will go to the Stringfellow room. 7th and 8th grade students will go to the blacktop. All students can go to the cafeteria for breakfast. Students arriving after 7:05 will go straight to their 1st period class. There will be staff all around campus to guide students all day long. When dropping off or picking up, please pull forward all the way to the end of the cones and barriers. We want to get as many cars off Highway 98 as possible. Thanks, and we look forward to a wonderful day tomorrow.

Good evening, our schedule pick up day is finally here!! 7th grade will start the day off tomorrow from 8 – 9:30; 8th grade will come from 10 – 11; and finally, our 6th grade will pick up schedules from 12 – 1:30. We will have stations in the cafeteria where you can get information for transportation, PTO, PE uniforms, yearbooks, and more. Parents can also use this time to drop and sign off medications in the clinic. Students are not allowed to bring medications to school. Please remember that students must follow the schedules that are picked up tomorrow. Any other versions are invalid. We would like to give a big shout out to Ryan Hepworth and his wife Debbie for giving the front of our school much needed landscaping. Ryan saw a need and volunteered his services. We are so fortunate to have the support of folks like Ryan who constantly give their time and service. Thanks again Ryan and Debbie and we cannot wait to see our students. Have a great night.
