Our "Return to Learn" Plan was developed as a starting point toward starting school on August 26 with both face to face learning and virtual (online) learning. As we gather more information, this document will be updated to reflect those changes.

Welcome to GLMS! I know you all are being inundated with emails and information from the schools.  It is a busy time for all of us. We are working very hard to create the best Back to School Learning Plan for everyone. I want to reach out to you all to let you know about plans for a 6th Grade Orientation Meeting. Go to the link below to view Mrs. Byerly's letter.

Now that we have evaluated the results of our previous surveys, and our "Warrior Way - Return to Learn" plan has been shared and approved by our Board of Education that includes our three options for instruction modes (Face to Face, Virtual (Online), and Homeschool), it is time to make your final choice(s) for the mode of instruction that you choose for your child(ren) to begin the 2020-2021 school year (barring a move to Phase 3 in the Governor's "Roadmap", which would move everyone to virtual instruction.)

This survey is mandatory for every Grass Lake Community Schools student to indicate their choice for instructional mode. The deadline for the survey to be completed is Friday, August 7, 2020, at 6:00 PM.

To share information about the planning that is occuring within the administration at Grass Lake Community Schools regarding the start of the 2020-2021 school year, Superintendent Kiser has written a letter to our school families that shares information about this planning. As the administration moves ahead, the results of our recent survey will weigh heavily on decisions being made while being mindful of mandates being given to us by the State of Michigan regarding how schools should start in the fall.
