Last Day of School
Currently our last day scheduled for the 2023-2024 school year is June 5. We are tentatively on schedule to meet the required minimum number of days and hours of pupil instruction. Therefore, if there are no more inclement weather days, our last day of the school year will be June 4, 2024. This would be a half day for students and a full day for staff. GIS Dismissal time is 11:30.

Counselor Corner- Career Lessons
In the month of May Mrs. Skowronski and Mrs. Martell are going into all grades to teach lessons on careers. Fourth grade students learned about various careers through a fun game of career bingo. Fifth grade students learned about the Holland Hexagon’s six personality types (Doer, Thinker, Creator, Helper, Persuader, and Organizer) and explored careers found in each. Students had the opportunity to discover their personality type and consider what career/s they might enjoy based on the results. Sixth grade classrooms have the opportunity to explore O*Net, an online database that provides information on multiple careers. Students take an interest inventory that matches their interests with a career. They gain an understanding of different types of careers that are available.
