Our sports teams are working hard. Last weeks sports scores were as follows:
Girls soccer 0-1 vs TaconicBoys soccer 1-2 vs Hoosac Valley
Boys soccer 3-0 vs PVCA
Girls soccer 0-3 vs Mt. Everett
Boys soccer 1-1 vs Drury
The girls fought a hard game against Taconic last week. Here is Maia Kibbie dribbling down the field with Shey Arnaldi behind her for support and Grace Renauld on the side for a possible pass.
GRMS and GRHS Late Bus
If students are not in the after school program and want to ride the late bus they will sign up in the office.
Open Houses Moved to March
School Committee votes on additional changes to the calendar
- As said above, Open House was moved from the end of September on separate days to all open houses taking place on Thursday March 9, 2023. We will stagger the time so families with children in both the elementary schools and the middle/high school can attend all parts of the evening. This was based on feedback from staff, administrators, and families. We had open house in early March last year due to COVID, and I think we were all pleasantly surprised at the high level of engagement, positive energy, and ability to show off lots of great student work. A side bonus was that prospective families and students were able to attend, and some transferred to Gateway based on what they saw!
- December 22 is now a full day of school. December 23 is now a half day of school. School will not be in session on January 2, 2023 to observe New Years Day. These changes were made to ensure that our last day of school didn't change and to keep winter break the same length. It was certainly an oversight to not include January 2 in the winter break--thank you for those who brought that forth for consideration!
