GMCS Word of the Day! Today's word is 'Air'.
It's National School Psychology Week! This is the time to recognize and celebrate the impact school psychologists have in our schools and community. They help identify learning and behavioral needs, provide counseling and interventions, support students’ social-emotional development, strengthen family and school partnerships, and help schools develop strategies that help students thrive. Our GMCS school psychologists work every day to ensure students have the tools, support, and encouragement they need to succeed in school and beyond.
This year's theme is "Inspire Connection." Take some time to reflect on how important connections are in our lives. Think about how you can turn a connection into using your voice for advocacy. Use this time to celebrate what brings us together.
Please join us in celebrating all school psychologists by thanking them for advocating, problem-solving, and showing up for our students when they need you most. Your expertise makes a difference, but it’s your compassion and commitment to our students that truly set you apart. We are incredibly grateful for all that you do!

Happy Native American Heritage Month! At Gallup-McKinley County Schools, we are grateful for the families and community members who share their culture and experiences with our students.
From traditional art, music, and dance to Native languages, cultural practices, and stories passed down through generations, these traditions remain an important part of our lives. They reflect deep connections to family, land, identity, and those who continue to carry these traditions forward. We hope our students and families find meaningful ways to celebrate their heritage, embrace their cultural identities, and share the traditions and languages that connect generations and keep Native cultures thriving.
