Hey there, eighth-grade families!

As you know, our eighth-graders will be heading to Peek’n Peak Resort on Friday, June 5, 2026 for their end-of-year trip!

⚠️ This is a reminder that registration packets are due this Friday, Dec. 5. These were sent home with students. Additional copies are available in the 8th Grade Office.

⚠️ In addition, we are pleased to announce that GCMS is piloting a new electronic payment system using ParentSquare! This means, if you haven’t already done so, you can make your first payment of $70 right from this post.

• Like MySchoolBucks, there is a small service fee added to this payment method, which is powered through Stripe.
• You can still make cash or check payments without any service fees, but those payments are due by this Friday, Dec. 5. Checks must be made payable to GCMS PTO. 
• Electronic payments for payment #1 are due by next Wednesday, Dec. 10.

📲 To submit a payment using the ParentSquare mobile app, tap “Items for Purchase,” enter the total amount of the payment in the quantity field ($70) and then tap “Continue.” Be sure to enter your student’s name in the optional memo field, then tap “Pay” to enter your credit card information.

💻 To submit a payment using the ParentSquare website, click “Pay,” enter the total amount of the payment in the quantity field ($70) and then click “Pay Now.” Be sure to enter your student’s name in the optional memo field, then tap “Pay” to enter your credit card information.

For details about the trip, refer back to the original ParentSquare post for more information. If you have any questions, please contact Ms. Rollins or Mrs. Sanza at 247-5050 ext. 31301.
