Principal's Corner
Vol. 1 No. 4 Sept. 6th 2019
Good Evening GK Families,
If your student missed Picture Day this week, Picture Retakes will be held on Wednesday, October 16th.
Next week all students will be participating in grade level appropriate classroom activities and discussion as we observe Patriot Day on 9/11.
As part of the GKMS reading WINs, students will have the opportunity to read with volunteers from our community. This established program has volunteers whom we call the "Grannies." We have openings for new adult volunteers who would enjoy listening to our 6th and 7th graders read to them. They meet twice a month on Monday mornings in the media center from 10:35-11:50am. If interested, please come to an initial orientation on Monday, September 9th at 10:20 to learn about this program. Please contact Carol Hencken at 815-784-2915 with any questions.
As always, please contact me with any questions or concerns at cbutcher@gkschools.org or at 815-784-5222.
Respectfully,
Mr. Butcher
Principal GKMS
PBIS Update with Mr. Uili
We are in great standing for our end of year goal of more than 80% of our GKMS students with 1 or 0 referrals. I have no doubt we will earn that awesome pizza and a frozen treat prize for 80%. Currently we have 99.44% of our students with 1 or 0 referrals. Remember, we get to make Mr. Butcher do something crazy if we hit that 90% mark!
