RevTrak is currently experiencing technical issues related to a recent software update, which is preventing payments from processing. In the meantime, please send lunch payments by check or cash to your student’s building secretary.

Our middle school had kicked off fall break with an energetic Teachers vs. First Responders volleyball showdown! 🔥🏐 GK staff came ready to play and swept all three sets — but the real win was our students’ generosity. Together, GKMS and the Middle School Impact Club collected groceries for the Genoa Food Hub, making a big impact before the holiday season.
Great game, great energy, great cause! 💙💛
