Message from Principal Murdock
THIS WEEK
Good afternoon,
We are ready to open the doors on the 23/24 school year!
If you have not picked up your schedule and materials, please feel free to stop by the office this week. Monday 12:00-4:00, Tuesday 8:00-4:00pm or Wednesday 8:00- 4:00 pm. Please also make sure you have updated your Infinite Campus information - this must be done yearly even if you have no changes.
Reminder that our teachers will be in trainings and preparing for opening day. Students will be escorted to lockers.
Opening Day for all students is Thursday, August 17th! Doors open for breakfast at 8:20 am and 8:35 for all students. Please note the map to drop off students as safety is our priority. Students should not be dropped off in the bus lanes. Our bike racks are located east of the building.
Please check the new Gahanna Schools Webpage!
