Message from Principal Ricks
Dear Families of Global Leaders:
Our after-school Debate Club will be participating in the Manhattan Debate Tournament! We are so proud of their hard work and wish them the best of luck as they represent our school.
Report cards for the first marking period will be sent home with students today. Please take a moment to review your child’s progress and don’t hesitate to reach out to teachers if you have any questions.
Join us for our next School Leadership Team (SLT) meeting, which will be held virtually. This is a great opportunity to learn more about the direction of our school and get involved in decision-making.Immediately following the SLT meeting, we’ll host our PTA meeting. We encourage all parents to attend and participate in our discussions about how to support our students and enhance our school community.
Our after-school program is hosting a fun and festive Holiday Game Night! It will be a great way for students to unwind and enjoy some friendly competition before the winter break.
The 6th-grade Design class is hosting a special holiday breakfast for their parents. It’s sure to be a wonderful way to celebrate the season together.Our Student Leadership Team is organizing a holiday party for the entire school! We can’t wait to celebrate with students and staff.
Vision screenings will be conducted for students today. This is an important step in ensuring that all students are set up for success in their learning.
We are looking forward to all of these wonderful events and activities. Thank you for being a part of our school community, and we encourage you to get involved whenever possible. As always, if you have any questions or need further information, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
