Attention Middle School Boys Basketball I want to update you about the season given the latest Whitmer announcement. We are still planning to practice next week. We will follow all protocols, however, we will be doing activities with NO physical contact. That means we will be conditioning, and doing skill development(ball handling, shooting, game study) . There will be No scrimmaging, or drills the require the boys to be within 6 feet of each other. We are also going to adjust the schedule to better allow more social distance: 6/7th grade 3:30-4:45 8th grade 4:30-6:00 Please plan accordingly for transportation. As of now we can not play any games until February 1st at the earliest. As I get more information I will share with you. Like you, I am also frustrated but I am going to choose to be positive and make the very best of this difficult situation. I look forward to seeing the boys next week. Go Rams ! Coach Merasco

GACS is developing a plan to support moving K-12 classroom instruction from the Hybrid Model to a 100% Face to Face Instructional Model. Our target is for mid February, possibly February 15, dependent on School Board approval. To do so, we need your help. As always, we strive to meet the needs of our families to the best of our abilities. We need each family whose children are currently attending school in the Hybrid Model, to complete the attached online survey for each child attending. We will make further announcements as soon as possible. Your feedback is always helpful & welcomed. Thank you for your continued support of our students and the entire G-A family. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdYSDRhfA5m9hBCfo7QkEgKReqK2ktn3eFWpSmdE_7e6HWrNA/viewform?gxids=7628&fbzx=5037691627825491354
