CGIS Welcome Back Block Party for all CGIS students and families
All CGIS students and their families are invited to join us at our 2022 Welcome Back to School Block Party at John Sevier Pool. Food trucks will be on site and have food available for purchase. We will post house lists on the outside fence for students to learn their house placements for the year. CGIS teachers and admin will be at the event as hosts handing out house colored bracelets and meeting and greeting families. Our CGIS PTC members will be on site with their children and be ready to welcome families and making connections. And of course, we invite you to cool off in the pool. Swim, Swim, Swim!
If you are unable to attend, no worries. We will have house lists also posted on our front doors at CGIS starting at 5 p.m. this day. We will also share house placements with students in our Town Square on the first day of school and make sure each student knows the schedule for the day!
***Important Notes-
We realize that returning CGIS students can see schedules and house placements through some of their software logins. We will be continuing to make schedule changes and balance classes through July 28th to best serve the needs of all. So, don't be confident about your schedule and placement until we post house placements on July 28th. After that date, if there is a need to make a change to student schedules, either as a group/grade level or for an individual student, we will communicate directly with families.

What about school supplies? You can find our list of recommended school supplies on our CGIS website for each grade level. We recommend that you wait on your teacher's communication about when to bring in supplies. We don't want you to be weighted down on your first day of school!

Coulter Grove Families,
CGIS will continue to offer an "early bird" pickup option during the 2022-2023 school year! While this is not an option that has traditionally been offered at CGIS, we are happy to continue this helpful option for our families with a few minor tweaks this year. Please see below for details regarding Early Bird pickup in the afternoon:
- This option will service 25 families of 4th and 5th graders ONLY.
- Sign up is first come, first serve.
- This option includes an early dismissal time of 2:35 instead of the normal 2:40 (this is five minutes later than last year).
- Families will be assigned a spot in the lot adjacent to the baseball field behind the school.
- Families who choose this option are expected to commit to "early bird" pickup for the entire year.
More information will be provided after parking spaces are assigned. If you are interested in this option, please email Mr. Hargett. Include your child's name and grade level in your communication.
