At Grayslake Middle School, we believe that students learn best in a safe andnurturing environment where all students have the opportunity to participate. Thisschool year, your child has the opportunity to participate in a variety ofnoncompetitive activities that will build your child’s academic and nonacademicinterests and skills.

Our intramural program will run in (3) three different sessions throughout the schoolyear. A variety of courses will be offered during each session. Student interest andparticipation will determine the classes that we conduct. The attached forms providecourse descriptions, dates and times, and other valuable information about the first(Fall) session of our intramural program.

To make this program a complete success, we need your help! Please discuss theattached course descriptions with your child. If your child is interested inparticipating, please fill out the registration form and return it to his/her homeroomteacher no later than November 3rd.

Thank you for making our Intramural programs a success at GMS.
