WELCOME MESSAGE FROM WALTER FITZPATRICK
We all love summer, but to me, the saddest part of summer is not hearing the sound of children throughout the building, so opening day is a big deal. This year didn’t disappoint!!! So many eager children were ready to reconnect with their classmates. Teachers were bursting with excitement to have a full class, and the halls were alive with the sound of students. It has been a great opening. Staff and students have jumped right in, started reconnecting, building new relationships and exploring new content. We completed week one of what will be a great year!
THE GROSSE POINTE FOUNDATION FOR EDUCATION
- The Grosse Pointe Foundation for Public Education is an independent, non-profit organization with the mission of funding extraordinary educational opportunities for the students of the Grosse Pointe Public School System.
- Since 2007, the GPFPE has provided close to $3.5 million in funding to the GPPSS, supporting a diverse roster of programs and projects at every school and every grade level across the district.
- The GPFPE supports the schools by funding district-wide programs like The Leader in Me at every elementary school.
- The GPFPE also supports teachers and staff by awarding grants twice a year that get resources into the classroom to enhance learning and teaching.
- Additionally the GPFPE has launched a new initiative called SEED (social, emotional, encouragement and development) which seeks to fund programs that target the emotional and mental health of our students and teachers. Teachers and counselors can apply for SEED grants year round.
- The GPFPE exists through the generosity of community donors - both individuals and businesses. Visit gpfpe.org for more information on programs and upcoming events. And follow us on Facebook and Instagram at @TheGPFPE.
PICKING UP STUDENTS DURING THE SCHOOL DAY
- Call or email the school office and teacher ahead of time.
- You must sign your child out from the school office.
Thank you for your cooperation.
