2024-2024 CGIS THEME
We are excited to share our Theme for This School Year!
"Educating the Mind Without Educating the Heart is No Education at All"- Aristotle
This year is going to be a year of learning and growth! As always, we will educate the mind and prepare your student for academic success, but we will also focus on educating matters of the heart. This theme goes along with our love of Capturing Kids' Hearts Monthly Character Trait Education. Be on the look for helpful resources and ways to help us help your student at school and at home!
MILES FOR MARYVILLE
CALLING ALL HAWKS!!!
The Maryville City Schools Foundation hosts Miles for Maryville each year. This is a great way to help support the school foundation that supports our schools!
CGIS PROCEDURES
WE ARE GETTING IN THE FLOW OF THINGS!
We have had an amazing first week of school! We hope you have too!
As we continue to get into routines, we know teachers are going through procedures with your student and want to remind you to take time to read the CGIS student handbooks for reminders on all of our Hawk Way Procedures. Knowing and following these procedures will make adjusting to a new year so much easier. Please take time to read arrival and dismissal procedures, dress code policies, cell phone policies, and all other parts of these important handbooks!
SHOW UP NIGHTS
PLEASE NOTE: REVISED TIMES
Please join us for our beginning of the year Show Up Nights. Show Up Night is the Open House Night to see classrooms, meet teachers, pay school fees, pay the I-Reach Laptop Insurance Protection plan, and get familiar with our school. We hope to see you on Show Up Night!
