The Wildcat Week Ahead

3/5 - 3/8

Hi GIS Families!

I'm looking forward to seeing everyone on Tuesday. Tomorrow is in-service for teachers.

I hope the break was fun and relaxing for everyone. There are some important updates about the Total Solar Eclipse, the last 1/2 day in-service in April, ski and ride, and family conferences below.

This week, I'll be outside to greet kids and families on Tuesday and Wednesday, but I'm at a conference on Thursday and Friday.

Coach Hannah is working on putting something together about all of the spring offerings for kids- stay tuned!

Enjoy the last few days of winter break.

As always, my door and inbox are always open.

Mrs. H
