Last Day of School
On June 4th GIS will be dismissing students at 11:30AM.
Our 6th Grade farewell walk will be starting at 11AM and students will have the option of lunch if they are interested. Because of the half day schedule, students will be picking up a sack lunch and taking it back to their classrooms.
Parents who are planning on attending the farewell 6th Grade walk for their student will need to sign in at the main office and we will have a parent section for the walk in our main foyer.
Article- Seven Ways to Prevent Summer Learning Loss
We often get asked, "What are some things I can do to support my student over the summer?"
Below is a link to a brief article on seven easy ways to support your student over the summer.
Reminder for 6th Graders Before they Head to the Middle School
Sports physicals can be done at the Gaylord Blue Devil Wellness center at the High School. If a student wants to participate in any Middle School sport they must have a completed physical before they are allowed to participate.
Don't Forget!!
With the end of the year fast approaching please don't forget to...
- Double check our Lost and Found for items left behind.
- Pick up medications in the main office.
