Happy Saturday, Bobcat Families! It is Field Trip Season! We are so fortunate and grateful to be able to enhance our students' learning experiences by exposing them to diverse opportunities throughout our greater community. We want to thank our PTA, The Greenwich Alliance, and GPS for making all of these experiences possible for our students. This week Kindergarten and 2nd Grade traveled to the Ridgefield Playhouse to see Pete The Cat and 5th Grade traveled to The Met Cloisters and Western Middle School to see Moana. Our March Madness Basketball Tournament continued, and we hosted ten families at our Special Education Parent Coffee at New Leb. Ask your students about the reusable trays in our cafeteria - we officially started to use them again this past week! We are diverting about 50 pounds of trash per week just from composting in our cafeteria. We are making a difference in our community and our environment! Have a safe and healthy weekend...important updates are below!
Summer School 2023
We are excited to announce that the 2023 GPS Summer School will be in session from Monday, July 3rd, through Friday, August 5th. In addition to Extended School Year (ESY) services for all eligible PreK-12+ special education students, our summer programs will provide academic supports for invited K-8 students with priority needs in literacy and/or math. This year, we offer tutoring options in literacy or math for invited families who opt out of the full-day program.
In addition to our academic support programs, we will hold Advanced Bridge Courses for middle school math students looking to accelerate their learning and Credit/Credit Recovery courses for GHS students. Invited students will be notified by April 1st, with registration beginning April 15th.
More information regarding programming times, course descriptions, and registration can be found on the Greenwich Summer School Website.
K-5 Parent Input on Second Conferences
It is not too late for families of students in K-5 to provide feedback regarding the second scheduled parent/teacher conferences. This was new for GPS and we would appreciate your feedback. The survey can be completed in less than a minute and will stay open through next week.

Attention 3rd Grade Families!
We need your help! The Greenwich Public Schools require a 3rd grade physical handed into the nurse by the end of every child's 3rd grade year. We can accept the physical if it is dated between January 1, 2022 through the present. We have received MANY physicals but still are missing quite a few. Please send them to Nurse Nancy as soon as possible. Thank you!
Moana at WMS
The Western Middle School Theater Club presents Disney's Moana, Jr. with shows on Friday, March 24 at 7:00 PM, and Saturday, March 25 at 2:00 PM and 7:00 PM. Tickets are available to the public beginning March 21, or at the door on performance dates. Evening performance tickets are $10, matinee tickets are $8.00.
School Enrollment Goes Online
Do you have a new neighbor with children that expect to attend GPS next year? If so, we now have an online registration system, which is more efficient and easier for families. Online registration for the 2023-2024 school year opened on March 1, 2023.
Have a great weekend and GO BOBCATS!
