Hey Tigers! Listen up! There is a NEW process for applying for application-based electives and program next year! The first step is to fill out the GMS Application for Electives. This application is ONLINE and must be completed first! On the online application, it will give you instructions for any specific materials you need to complete or submit for each class you are interested in taking. This might include making a video or picking up an additional paper application, so make sure you read the directions carefully! The link for the application will be sent out to your parents, or you can scan the QR code on the posters in the hallways. ALL applications (the online app and any other supporting materials) are due by Friday, January 30.
