Have you heard about the Positivity Project? Grand Blanc Community Schools believes in the Other People Matter mindset and we spend a few minutes everyday focusing on various positivity strengths. If you'd like to know more about the Positivity Project you can learn more by going to https://posproject.org/ You'll also see the upcoming strenghts we'll be focusing on in the P2 section of this newsletter. Be sure to ask your child about what they are learning!
Please be sure to read the Drop Off & Pick Up Reminders below! We really need your help to keep our parking lots safe and moving efficiently. Thank you in advance for your help with this important matter.
Thank you again for giving us the opportunity to work with your child and family. We are looking forward to a wonderful year together. At any time if you have questions please feel free to give me a call at 810-591-7922 or drop me an email at tdale@gbcs.org
I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Drop Off & Pick Up Reminders!
We need your help please!
PM PICK UP REMINDERS - If you are picking up at the end of the day you may have noticed there is a LOT of traffic! We're hearing reports that cars on Cook Road are being very unsafe by passing into oncoming traffic and driving on people's lawns etc. We really ask for your patience. If you choose to pick up your child(ren) from school please follow all traffic laws, slow down and take it easy. The other option is for your child to ride the bus.
When coming into the Cook/Mason lot please SLOW DOWN and put your cell phones down. Cars lately have been driving really fast and we're seeing many drivers who are scrolling through their phones while the car is moving. We ask that you only pass around cars if you are directed to by a staff/security/law enforcement person. If no one is directing traffic please be patient and remain in the line.
Also reminder that the front parking lot is closed to vehicle traffic (other than busses and/or staff) between 8:00-9:30am and 2:30-4:00pm. Our front parking lot is reserved for bus traffic and staff parking.
Thank you for your help with all of these matters. If everyone follows the above guidelines our lines will move more quickly and everyone will be safe! We appreciate your help!
