My Camp 2023 is on fire! Students are having the best times ever enjoying new experiences and extending their learning. As My Camp staff, we understand how important it is for parents to be able to share in their child’s experiences. Each week, we are committed to providing parents with a recap and highlights of the week before. Additionally, we hope that families are enjoy spending time together and doing some of the suggested math and reading activities.

We have also included a parent survey below and welcome your feedback on how we are doing and/or suggestions on how to improve. Please take a moment to complete.

This week we have also included the breakfast and lunch menu, make sure to scroll down to take a peek.

Finally, kudos to our staff for doing such an amazing job this past week! Thank you parents for allowing us to have your students for My Camp and for your patience during dismissal!

As always, if you have any questions, please call 972-264-7803.

Parents of afternoon bus riders,

Any student who rides the bus home will need to have a parent (or authorized person who picks them up) meet them at the bus door for their child to be released from the bus. Your child’s school will give you an ID tag that you will show at the bus door for pick up.

Students will not be released from the bus if parents/guardians are in their cars waiting. These are extra measures taken to ensure your child's safety.

What a fun week!

Students got to do a culinary activity with chefs, created fruit kabobs and fruit salads.

Campers also went to the Arlington Skatium for a little recreational skating!

Kinder through second grade went to the Aviation Discovery Zone to learn about planes and space. They also got to make their own paper plans and straw planes; even got to be flight attendants and Ground Marshall's!!

K-2 also got to learn about and be community helpers.

Our 3rd to 5th graders learned about construction work and do a little building of their own!

Remember,

Parents, please review some of the lessons we will be implementing this coming week and how you can help reinforce these lessons at home.

Did you know we also provide daily Social Emotional Learning Lessons to our campers?

"Social-emotional learning, or SEL for short, is an essential concept within education because it is a framework through which students acquire the skills necessary to navigate through school, working life, and beyond. In particular, the framework helps with self-preservation, self-control, relationship-building, and decision-making." - View Sonic

During My Camp, we provide SEL lessons that will help your student focus and manage their feelings/emotions through stressful situations. Take some time this weekend to ask your student what SEL lessons they learned this week and how they can continue practicing that every day.

To learn more about SEL and how you can continue these lessons at home, please visit https://www.gpisd.org/Page/49354
