Parents Are the Key! One of the most powerful ways to support your child's success is by making attendance a priority. Students from low-income households are twice as likely to be chronically absent, but strong family support can make a tremendous difference.

Let's work together to ensure students are in class, on time, and ready to learn every day.

Ms. Rivera asked her students what they love most about Gus Garcia Middle School, and their responses were truly heartwarming. Many shared that they appreciate their teachers and staff, while others said they enjoy learning and spending time with their friends. Their answers remind us that GGMS is more than a school—it is a community where students feel connected, supported, and valued.
