September 1
We’re thrilled to welcome your student back this Tuesday, September 3rd! A big thank you to everyone who attended Back to School Night—it really set the tone for an amazing year ahead.
Here are a few important updates:
Each day, from 8:00 to 8:15 AM, all students will enter through the green gym doors. After 8:15, students can enter through the back lot or the gym doors. Breakfast service begins at 8:00 AM, and school officially starts at 8:30 AM.
For dismissal, students in grades K-4 should be picked up at the back of the building. If you have students in grades 5-8 or both K-4 and 5-8, please use the car line at the front of the building near the gym doors. To ensure a smooth process, we ask that you remain in your car and avoid walking up to the pickup area. Your patience as we settle into the routine is greatly appreciated.
Please note that the front office will be closed from 3:00 to 3:30 PM to facilitate a quicker dismissal. If there are any changes to your child’s dismissal plans, inform the front office by 2:15 PM.
This Friday, and every Friday, is Groovy Gryphon Spirit Day! This week is GEMS Spirit Day, Students can wear GEMS gear or something green to participate.. We’ll also be focusing on our Habits of Learning, starting with perseverance. Ask your child how they’ve shown perseverance at school or at home and how they’re being a Change Agent.
This year, all students will follow our five school-wide expectations, including our cell phone policy. We are a cell phone-free building from 8:30 AM to 3:15 PM. If you need to reach your student, please call the front office. This policy aligns with the new state-wide cell phone law.
Thank you for being part of the GEMS family. Let’s make this school year amazing!
