Happy Saturday, Bobcat Families! We hope you enjoy the beautiful weather this weekend as we head into our final weeks of school. It is hard to believe this school year is coming to a close. Stay safe and don't forget your sunscreen! Important updates are below...
Early Dismissal & Dismissal Change Reminders
If you need to get your child early from school OR change their dismissal plan, please be sure to call the main office at 203-531-9139. Teachers do not check their dojo during the day because they are teaching our wonderful students! Thank you for your continued support with this. We promise to get any message to your child's teacher before the end of the day.
Vaccination Card Reminders
If your child has been vaccinated, please send a picture of the vaccination card to Nurse Nancy at nancy_minowitz@greenwich.k12.ct.us. Students who are vaccinated do NOT need to quarantine after a close contact.
Parent Survey
Did you fill out the annual GPS Family Survey yet? We encourage participation from all families because we value your confidential feedback. The survey should take approximately five minutes to complete, and you can skip questions if you don’t have enough information to answer them. You should have received an email on Wednesday with the subject line “Greenwich Public Schools Family Survey” from me, via k12insightllc.com. The deadline is Friday, June 17.
Safety & Security
This past week, Dr. Jones sent an email to all families and staff regarding our safety and security measures and had a lot of information that you would be interested in. After reading the email and contacting your school principal with any concerns, If you have additional questions, please fill out this form and we will get back to you as soon as possible.
*Please note, in order to comply with state law, we will have one more lockdown drill this year. If you have questions or need additional information about these drills, please reach out to Mrs. Michaelson directly.
Alliance Newsletter - New Lebanon School Featured!
We encourage you to read the latest Greenwich Alliance for Education newsletter that was released earlier this week. It is filled with so much great information about upcoming events, May highlights, and amazing achievements of our students.The Greenwich Alliance for Education is a public/private funding partner to the Greenwich Public Schools, funding innovation, expanding opportunities, and inspiring educators.
Substitutes Needed
We need you! Even if you can only sub one day per week. As a request from some of our parents and community members who are interested in helping out as substitute teachers, the District has greatly reduced the initial step to get started. The Connecticut State Department of Education has also introduced a swift process for the District to gain approvals. Individuals need to have some experience with children, or hold a bachelor's degree. Currently, GPS has a substitute incentive of $140 per day, and if an individual subs every day during the week, the pay increases to $160 per day.
Quarantining/Isolation
Guidelines on quarantining and isolating can be sometimes confusing for all of us. If your child has tested positive or has been exposed to a positive case and is a close contact, we recommend reaching out to your school nurse directly. You can read the CDC’s updated guidance on its website, including a helpful “Quarantine and Isolation Calculator,” a tool to help determine how long you need to isolate, quarantine, or take other steps to prevent spreading COVID.
Have a great weekend and GO BOBCATS!
