GPPSS middle school students who have a Chromebook checked out must return devices to their school's main office by the end of the day on June 10, 2025. Devices will be checked back in by main office and reviewed by tech later this summer. Here are the costs for any missing/damaged/lost devices (checks can be written out to GPPSS and will be collected at the building level):
$300 charge for lost devices
$50 for damaged device
$40 for lost charger
PARCELLS LIBRARY BOOKS DUE
Please have your student look around your house for any library book that belongs to Parcells Library!
YEARBOOK PICK UP
If you would still like a yearbook there are some left. See Mrs. Charuba in Room#100. The cost is $40, cash only please.
MEDICATION PICK UP
Summer is almost here, and we want to remind families that ALL MEDICATIONS in the office
need to be picked up no later than June 13th @ dismissal (11:36 am). Any medications that
are not picked up will be properly disposed of by our staff at the end of the day.
If your child will be enrolled in the GPPSS Summer School Program, parents will need to take
the medication to that program. The school will not be responsible for transferring those
medications. We will forward the current years medication forms to the appropriate summer
school location, you do not need new medical forms for summer classes.
If your child needs medication for the upcoming school year, the appropriate forms have been
placed in an envelope with the current medication the office has. The forms will need to be filled
out by your Childs physician after July 1st. This includes all prescription and non-prescription
medications. If your child has medications for Allergies, Asthma, Diabetes or Seizures they will
also need an emergency plan filled out by a physician. All medication forms and emergency
plans are available on your school’s website under Families/Health services and on the
link below.
