GPPSS Update
Shoe Project at North
On December 19, Mr. Sowers and his Marketing students displayed their Shoe Project. Students were required to work in teams to create a shoe brand/design/collection that included all of the key elements of the marketing process from design to promotion. Not only did the students design the shoes, but they actually created the designs on canvas shoes. These Shoe Collections were on display during the showcase and students were able to discuss the data collection and analysis processes. They were also able to demonstrate how they incorporated data driven decision making into the 4 P’s of Marketing (product, price, place and promotion). The greatest part of this project is that the shoes will be donated locally to support others in need through Lace up Detroit.

Off & Out of Sight Reminder
All secondary students are to have access to a technology learning device. The GPPSS BYOD Handbook supports the district's strategic plan for student learning and growth. Students use their technology learning device to access Schoology -- the GPPSS's Learning Management System.
Additionally, cell phones are OFF AND OUT OF SIGHT all day for middle school, and during class time for high school students. If students need to be reached during the school day, please continue to contact the main office.
Middle school students may use their phones before the first school bell and after the final school bell. High school students may use their phone during passing time and at lunch, as well as before and after school.
How Snow Day Decisions Are Made in GPPSS
As winter approaches, we wanted to provide you with important information about how inclement weather may affect school operations. Our top priority is the safety of our students, staff, and families, while also striving to maintain as much instructional time as possible.
Decisions to close school or adjust schedules are made thoughtfully, with careful consideration of the impact on our community. While the District reviews all available information to make the best possible determination, we recognize that winter weather brings inherent risks. Ultimately, parents have the authority to decide what is safest for their students under their unique circumstances.
