A new state law -- House Bill 1105, which was signed into law on July 1 -- stipulates how and when students can use personal electronic devices during the school day in an effort to support focused learning in all Florida public school classrooms. The law says:
• Elementary and middle school students may not use a cell phone or other personal electronic device at any time during the school day.
• High School students may use cell phones and other personal electronic devices during instructional time only if a teacher gives permission for educational purposes.
• Exceptions can be made on a case-by-case basis for students with an IEP, specific health needs, or English language learners (ELL).
Our Code of Student Conduct has been updated to reflect this law. See the Code of Student Conduct at this link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1RZS1-ppNFeQ_vSnOamPTlz0voX11U5Bs/view?usp=sharing . Thank you for working with us to create and maintain more focused learning environments for our students.

Did you know that every month our Gators participate in lessons to help build social skills? This is done through our PBIS (Positive Behavioral Intervention and Supports) System. The lesson for the month of November is about being grateful. Take a moment to discuss this with your child.

This weekend, our Junior Thespians represented Gray Middle School at the District Competition — and while our troupe was much smaller than usual this year, we proved once again that we may have been small, but we were mighty!
GMS brought home an incredible 5 Superiors and 11 Excellents!
A huge congratulations to Gabriella Milchman, who earned two of our three individual Superiors and took 1st Place and Top Honors in Scene Writing — for the third year in a row! An unbelievable accomplishment!
Our third individual Superior was awarded to 6th graders Caroline Rich and Riley Aleman for their duet scene. This is their very first year competing, and they absolutely blew the judges away. Amazing job, you two!
Our remaining two Superiors came from the technical and performance scores of our one act, Most Likely To… The cast delivered a powerful and emotional performance that literally moved both the audience and the judges to tears. They earned 1st place in the district and will be advancing to the State Festival for the second year in a row!
A special shoutout to Vincent Milchman, who stepped in at the last minute to cover for two no-shows, allowing those groups to still perform. Talk about a team player!
We are beyond proud of each and every one of our talented Gator Thespians. Congratulations on an outstanding showing at Districts — your hard work, creativity, and heart continue to shine!
Also, please come see Mad Libs Live! this Wednesday through Friday in the Auditorium at 6:00. Tickets will be $10. The show is sure to be LOTS of fun!
