The first day of school is fast approaching! The teachers and staff are working hard to get everything ready and we are looking forward to another great year! Here are a few things that you should be aware of...
The Back to School Open House and Pool Party are scheduled for August 12th. The Open House will begin at 6:30 at GSLS and the pool party will follow at 8:15. The open house will be a great opportunity for parents and students to meet teachers and look around the classrooms. Students may bring their school supplies that evening so they are prepared for the first day. We will have classroom party sign up sheets out and there will be some paperwork for parents to fill out and look over also. We hope that doing this at the open house will make the first few days/weeks of school be a little less crazy. 😉 We will have the GSLS Handbook and Family Directory available for you to pick up that night also.
The public school has announced that school will be dismissed at 1:40 on August 15th AND 16th. We will follow their schedule for those days.
We will begin our first day of school, August 15th, with chapel at 8:30. We will then go outside to raise our flags and join in prayer. After that, we will ring the school bell to start off an awesome year! Please spread the word and plan to join us!
In October (I know, I know...let's get through August first) there are a few days that are a bit unusual so we wanted to make you aware of them now. We will also have reminders in the newsletter as the time gets closer.
October 9th & 10th ~ GSLS will not be in session because our teachers will be at the District Teachers Conference. The public school is in session these days.
October 11th ~ GSLS will not be in session. The public school is in session and will dismiss at 12:10
October 14 ~ GSLS will be in session. The public school is NOT in session so buses will not run.
October 21 ~ GSLS will not be in session. This is a professional development day for our teachers. Public school will be in session.
We try very hard to follow the public school calendar but there are some times that it doesn't work since our conferences don't fall on the same days. If you have any questions, you can call the office or Mr. G. Thanks for your understanding!
