Halloween Day - 11:35 a.m. Dismissal for Students
Halloween is one of the highlights of the school year. Students are allowed to come to school dressed in costume. We ask that we limit the amount of gore and scariness. We are a building that also houses preschool 4 year olds. We ask that you be mindful of the young ones.
We will have our annual parade starting at 8:45 AM. Students will walk through the hallways and then proceed out of the building through the Essex Ave doors. The parade will move down Middlesex until the first break in the median and then back to school.
Each class will hold their own celebration. Please be on the lookout for information from your child’s teacher.
Kids Club Reminder - Half Day - Oct 31
November Millage
Two ballot proposals are on the November 5th ballot. The first millage proposal is an Operating Millage Restoration and Extension (a homestead and non-homestead operating millage) that was first approved by voters in 1995. It has two components:
the homestead millage (7.8763 mills) that is levied on primary residences and allows the school district to receive its full funding allowance from the State of Michigan; and,
the non-homestead millage (18 mills) is levied primarily on rental properties and businesses. The State of Michigan requires school districts to levy this millage to insure full State Aid funding. Nineteen (19) mills is requested so that with Headlee rollbacks of up to one mill, the full 18 mills can be levied.
The second millage proposal is a one mill sinking fund proposal that was first approved by voters in 2004. This millage expired with the 2019 levy. Voter approval of this proposal will extend the term and expand the purpose of the sinking fund and restore the authorization to one mill after a Headlee rollback. Voter approval of this proposal will extend and restore the sinking fund and allows the school district to use sinking fund proceeds for expanded purposes, including security and technology equipment.
These two proposals combined make up 25% of the GPPSS Budget.
Shout-out to Mr. Caulfield!

Box Tops for Education
A couple of reminders for this school year:
Don't forget - we continue to collect box tops all school year long!
If your child turns in a sheet full of 25 they can pick a prize out of the treasure chest! Sheets are available in the office.
Did you know? Box Tops has gone mobile! While legacy box tops are still out there, new items will not have physical tops to cut. All you have to do is download the app from the link below and scan your receipt from the grocery store - easy as that! But keep those tops coming so long as you still have them! https://www.boxtops4education.com
Any questions, please contact Kimberly Nyenhuis or Charlene Williams.
