Get Set.... (Part 2 of Back to School 2021-22)
Getting Set for September 7
Part 2 of Back to School
Next week you will see the return of the weekly calendar as well as the lunch periods listed by teacher.
Sept 6: Student schedules will go live on MiStar. Check MiStar and have that with you on the first day of school.
Sept. 7: Students will report directly to their 1st hour as it appears on MiStar for a FULL DAY OF SCHOOL
Sept 13: All students will have id/picture day on Sept. 13, during the school day. Students will be called down by alphabet to get their pictures taken and receive their school ids.
STUDENTS WHO ARE VIRTUAL:
- The new virtual program we are using is run by an outside company. As soon as we have information to pass on to you as far as classes etc, we will contact you.
- Please keep in mind, classes will be chosen with the students requests in mind, but we cannot guarantee students classes will match. We will make sure that all of the classes will go towards graduation requirements.
- We will have a time on Sept. 13 that virtual students will need to be at the building to get their new school id/pictures.
Parents Must Update Registration Information on MiStar Prior to Sept. 7
Click here: parent portal, sign in, click on the RED Back to School Registration link on the top right side. Click on register now for each student. Initially, it will show as Re-Enrollment Incomplete, this will change to Enrollment Complete (in green) when you are finished.

- Desk shields have been removed from student desks.
- We will continue efforts of social distancing in classrooms and lunchrooms as necessary/available
- Classroom teachers will only be teaching to students physically in the classroom. There will be no online students mixed into the classrooms.
- Although not part of the mitigation plan, due to construction 1 way staircases will be in effect at high school.
1 - 1 District
Sept. 1: Students grades 10-12 with the last names starting A - K are to pick up their Chromebooks at the middle school IT window between the hours of 10 am - 5 pm. If the student is unavailable someone from their MiStar contact can pick it up for them.
Sept 2: Students grades 10-12 with the last names starting L - Z are to pick up their Chromebooks at the middle school IT window between the hours of 10 am - 5 pm. If the student is unavailable someone from their MiStar contact can pick it up for them.
Any freshman who did not attend orientation on Aug. 26 may follow the pick up above based on their last name.
Parking Passes 11/12th graders
We will have a limited number of spots by the gym until construction is over. Then we will be able to expand. Seniors will get 1st priority to the limited spots at the beginning of the school year.
2020-2021 Yearbooks
We will be putting the word out as soon as we are able to distribute the books to you. Unfortunately deliveries have been delayed on several occasions due to setbacks beyond our control.
If you have further questions on 2021 yearbooks, contact Mr. Fulton at fultonr@gardencityschools.com
