In-Person Mock SAT Test - February 5, 2022

The PTSA, in partnership with NovaStar Prep, will host an in-person, proctored Mock SAT test on Saturday, February 5th at Marshall High School. The cost is $25 and students will receive a detailed analysis of their test scores. This is an excellent way to prepare for the SAT test.

Open to all GCM students.

Saturday School

Several times each month, students have an opportunity to work with our teachers to complete classwork, homework, test corrections and prepare for long-term projects. Each session, there are teachers from the core classes (Math, English, Science and Social Studies), as well as staff who can help students in the areas identified below. Learn more about Saturday School and view this year's schedule.

Anticipated Bus Delays

Due to the bus driver shortage, we will be increasing “double back” bus runs, meaning a bus is required to run two scheduled routes back to back that would normally have been covered by two separate buses. These “double backs” may impact delivery time to schools or bus stops and may have a domino effect, affecting after-school drop-off times.
