Greer Middle School
Welcome to the 6th Grade 2012-2013
Parent/Student Orientation!
An International Baccalaureate School
Tonight’s event is to help the student
and the parent understand the
transition from elementary school to
middle school. Presentations will last
about 25 minutes.
Transition to middle school is
a big time in your life…but it
should not be something that
makes you worry
I want to be clear and upfront with all
parents and students so that we can
work together to ensure the safety of
the school and learning environment
and to make your transition to Greer
Middle School as smooth as possible.

Tardies
Students that are late to school or late to a class cause major
disruptions to the school day for office personnel and
classroom instruction.
Excuses for tardies to school will not be accepted unless they are
accompanied by a doctor’s note. All students are given two
warnings for tardies (without a consequence) that allow for
unusual circumstances (wreck that slowed traffic,
oversleeping, car breaks down, etc.). All other tardies will
(unless accompanied by a medical excuse) be deemed
“unexcused” and fall into the 3rd Offense category as listed
on the next slide
Tardies between class periods at GMS is unacceptable as
students are given ample time to get from one class to
another. Please work with your child to understand that they
do not need to go to their locker after every class period.
Tardies To School/Class
Tardies are tabulated in each class
(including the beginning of the school day).

instructional use. A form needs to be completed by
the parent and returned before the PED is allowed
in the building.
PED cannot connect to the Internet.
Bring PED at own risk
Examples of PED’s (Kindle, Nook, Ipad, Itouch, etc.
Facebook
Issues that arise when middle school students use
Facebook many times spill over into school.
– Threats/harassment made on these web sites that
spill over into school will be dealt with under our
harassment/threatening persons policy.
– Threats/harassment made on these web sites that do
not spill over into school can still be treated
criminally.
– Bottom line is simple: If your child is on the
Internet at these (or similar sites), they are
responsible for the content they post. We highly
recommend that you disallow, regulate, or monitor
your child’s use of these sites as it could quickly
become a school issue.
New Greenville County Schools
Bullying and Harassment Policy
If a student or parent brings to the
attention of GMS staff an “alleged”
situation of bullying or harassment, the
student will give a written statement on a
school form and then turn it into the
Guidance Department upon completion.
We highly encourage students to take the
form home and have their parent sign it
before returning to Guidance.
New Greenville County Schools
Bullying and Harassment Policy
Upon review of the statement, the member
of Guidance and/or Administration will
determine the results of the investigation
and document finding and applicable
consequences on the statement form.
Parent contact will be made if applicable
and a copy of the statement and result will
be sent home with the student.
The form will be filed in Guidance
Department for future reference.

First Day Of School Info
Drop your child off, give them a hug, and
let them enter Middle School on their own!
Teachers and administration will guide
students to the proper location.
If you are a car rider, remind your child to
go to the front for pick up in the afternoon.
We will ensure that students know what
bus to ride as the school day progresses.
Students will not be marked tardy on the
first week of school until they learn their
way around the building.
Drop Off In Car Loading
Car riders may be dropped off after 7:30
– Riders cannot be dropped off prior to 7:30
because there will not be any supervision of
the students.
– If you arrive before 7:30, please remain with
your child in the car until administrator
comes to open building
Students will be considered tardy if they are
not in their classroom by 8:30.
Students should report directly to their
designated location after drop off (cafeteria for
6th grade…gym for 7th and 8th grade). Note: 7th
and 8th graders may eat in the cafeteria prior to
moving to gym.
Drop Off In Car Loading
You may drop off your child in the front or
the back car loading areas.
Please form a single line in the drop off areas.
Do not “double park” in the drop off line if
you need to come inside the building. Park in
a designated space before coming inside.
Please remember that safety is our #1
concern…be extremely cautious and attentive
while you are in the parking lots.
Dismissal In Car Loading
6th Graders Are Picked Up In The
Front Car Area (Front Of Building
Near Gap Creek Road)
7th and 8th Graders Are Picked Up In
The Rear Car Area.
If you have multiple children you are
picking up, they should be picked up
in the front car loading area.
Dismissal-Car Loading
Rear pick up gate will be unlocked at 3:00 for 7th and
8th Grade parents to begin lining up. Front car
loading area will remain open entire school day.
Dismissal is at 3:30
– Note: Students will not be allowed to have early
dismissal after 2:45 without permission from Mr.
Rhymer.
Students should exit the building and immediately
look for parents. Administrators will not call for
students in the car loading area, nor will an “all call”
be made inside of the building. It is the student’s
responsibility to exit the building and look for their
parent.
Dismissal-Car Loading
Parents should form a single line on the right
side of the driveway in both the front loading
and rear loading area. As your child loads the
car, parents may enter the left lane to exit the
parking lots.
Cars in the front of the pick up lines will be
asked to move to the back of the line if their
child does not load the car in an appropriate
amount of time. This is to ensure that the line
moves quickly and makes dismissal as orderly
as possible.
Please remember that safety is our #1
concern…be extremely cautious and attentive
while you are in the parking lots.

Student Handbook
Read with your child. They will
bring it home the first few days of
school.
It is assumed that you and your child
understand all items included in the
handbook.
This handbook will be their agenda
and pass for the school year.
Medication Policy
A student who needs to go to the health room must obtain a
pass from his classroom teacher. Students reporting to the
nurse for illness must remain in the health room until
released by the nurse to return to class or go home. If the
health room is not open, the office staff will call the parent
or send the student back to class.
Students may not take any type of medication unless under
the direct supervision of the school nurse (this includes
Tylenol, Advil, etc.). Failure to follow this procedure will
lead to suspension.
There is no grace period for prescription medication. If
parent does not bring doctor’s note in with the prescription
medication, the nurses cannot administer the medication. In
the past, you had 10 days to get the doctor’s note to the
school.

Attendance
–In order to be successful, students must attend school every day.
Instruction at GMS is intense, and missing any day is a detriment to
a child’s academic progress.
–Students are counted present only when they are actually in school,
on homebound instruction, or are present at an activity authorized
by the school principal.
–The school year consists of 180 days. To receive credit, students
must attend at least 85 days of each 90-day semester course and at
least 170 days of each 180-day year course, as well as meet all
minimum requirements for each course.
–Accrued students absences may not exceed ten (10) days during the
school year. Any absence in excess of ten (10) may cause the student
to lose credit for the year. Because 170 days are the minimum
required by the state, the first ten (10) absences may be lawful,
unlawful, or a combination. All absences beginning with the
eleventh (11th) day must be lawful and will be excused if they fall
within the following guidelines:
Attendance
Lawful Absences
– Personal illness of a child verified by a statement from a
physician within two (2) days of the students' return to
school. Absences for CHRONIC or EXTENDED illness
will be approved only when verified by a physician's
statement. (This includes doctor's appointments.)
– Serious illness or death of an immediate family member
verified by a statement from the parent within two (2) days
of the student's return to school.
– Absences for religious holidays when approved in
advance. Requests must be made to the Principal in
writing.
– Absences for extreme hardships must be approved by the
Principal. Such approval should be prearranged when
possible.
Attendance
Unlawful Absences
– Any student absence, with or without the knowledge of
the parent, which does not meet the conditions for a lawful
absence, shall be counted as unlawful and will not be
excused. When a student returns to school from being
absent he/she should bring a note explaining why he/she
was absent. The note should be signed by a
parent/guardian and dated.
– Students should present parent excuses to the Attendance
Clerk on the day they return to school. This should be
done before the 8:30 a.m. bell.
