Week1

From Principal Wilson, “It was a great first week of school! While one cannot expect all things to go perfectly when you put 1000 people together in a smallish space, overall, the first week was a success. We realize there are exceptions.”

Please take a minute to review some of the highlighted school expectations.

The Bridge Program

The Bridge Program at GRMS supports students that have an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) that includes specific goals in the Social/Emotional Behavior, Independent Functioning and/or Communication domains. Many students also benefit from a Behavior Intervention Plan (BIP) and counseling services.

The focus of our program is to teach students alternative behaviors to replace challenging ones, with data collected to monitor their progress. The ultimate aim of the Bridge Program at GRMS is to gradually reintegrate students into the general education setting with minimal support.
