The Wildcat Weekly
September 16-20, 2024
Hi Families,
As we enter into the Fall season, we're already seeing some colds come through the building. We will be reviewing handwashing with kids on Monday, and need your support and help when kids are sick. If kids aren't feeling well, have a fever, a gnarly cough, etc., please keep them home. As a parent, I understand how challenging this can be, and when we don't stay home, the illness just continues to travel.
We have a new custodial staff member and schedule! Cody Demars has joined the Grand Isle School custodial team. Mr. Cody is in our building as the school day is winding down and into the evening. Both Cody and Toby are working hard to keep our building clean and sparkly. If you see them, give them a big thank you!
Madame Lisa also sent us an update. She is doing OK after her first round of treatment, and we're hoping to get a meal train up and running for her family. Please see the link below.
In the newsletter below, you'll find important information on:
- Soccer parking
- Open House
- Reminders of October school closings
- Attendance resources
As always, my door and inbox are always open!

GIS Family To-Dos
- Be sure you have filled out your kiddo's t-shirt size. I'm ordering shirts on Monday. If I don't have their size, I will make a best guess. Not sure if you filled it out? No problem! You can fill it out again.
- Be sure you can log into the Life Touch Portal. Picture day ID = EVTXQZNRD You will be able to see photos there and order them, if you haven't done so already. Photos should appear in a week or two.
No Parking at the Hyde Cabin on 9/14
Morning Drop Off
If you are walking kids to the door, please park in a parking spot, rather than in the drop-off lane.
If you are dropping off, continue using the appropriate drop-off locations.
Please leave the handicap space accessible and unobstructed.

Explanation of Truancy at GIS
Attendance is so important to students' success in school. If getting your kiddo to school becomes challenging (and we've all been there in some way shape or form) please reach out. We want kids in school and we know it can be hard sometimes.
We take into account excused absences (illness or family emergency). We will ask for a doctor's note after 3 consecutive days of absence.
