Drop off and Pick up After School
Please drop off and pick up your student in the North parking lot located by the football fields. I am asking that you form two lines at the drop off and pick up locations. Please comply with the directions of staff when picking up your student. The map is circled in red for the drop off/pick up location.
Chromebook Protection Plan
Friday August 30th the chromebook protection plan should post to your student's IC account. You should be able to opt in/out for the protection then.

Locks
PTO has provided Master combination locks at $7.00 cash only for students to purchase. They can be purchased in the front office for school lockers and/or from Boggs/Demchak for PE lockers. This is a CASH purchase only exact change ONLY. Please encourage students to keep their belongings locked up at all times.
Students are not permitted to share lockers
Talking Points
We will be using the Talking Points app to communicate with families. You can send and receive messages to your students teacher. If you are asked for a class code that means the phone number you are using is not linked to the student in Infinite Campus. You should not need a class code to use Talking Points.
6th Grade Adventure Day
We have had a change of plans with Adventure Day. There were a few mix-ups with both Hannah Park and our vendors, so we are changing Adventure Day to be held At Middle School West on Thursday, September 12th. New Permission slips were passed out today, but If you've already turned one in you are good to go with the new plans. We also ask that you pay through Infinite Campus or by cash or check to the main office, but If you already paid through the Vehicles for Change website you are also good to go. If you want to volunteer to help that day please email Isabel Fox at foxi@gjps.org.
Heart and Pride
The Heart and Pride Award recognizes two outstanding staff members each month who make a profound impact on our students and Gahanna-Jefferson Public Schools.
The Heart & Pride Nomination Form will remain available year-round and is open to any member of our staff, regardless of position.
