Eagle Edition #10 - 2022-23
November 4, 2022
Happy Friday, Eagles!
Here are your important school updates for this week:
- PARENT TEACHER CONFERENCES
- Thank you so much to all who attended our Parent/Teacher conferences. We loved having you in the building and are so happy to continue working closely with our amazing Anderson/McGrath families!
- TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 8
- There is no school for students on Tuesday, November 8. This is a PD day for all staff.
- MORNING DROP OFF
- If you're dropping off a student and the outside doors are closed, you need to walk your student inside. Thank you for your help in keeping all of our students and staff safe!
- NEWS FROM THE LUNCHROOM
- We encourage all students to eat a nutritious breakfast which will prepare them for the school day. Research shows that students who eat breakfast score better on standardized tests, improve academic achievements, have fewer health issues, and behave better in class.
- All students are eligible to participate in the school breakfast program. If you walk, ride the bus, or come to school by car, you can still have breakfast at school. At Anderson & McGrath, students receive both free breakfast and lunch. There is no extra paperwork required.
- Breakfast is served in the Anderson & McGrath cafeteria from 8:30 AM to 9:00 AM.
- UPCOMING AUTHOR VISIT
- On Monday, Nov 21 at 6:30 PM, the brand new GBHS library will be hosting a local author, Keith Stone, to share his story in his new book, the Optimistic Quadriplegic. Keith is the husband of former Indian Hill Principal Sarah Stone. If you'd like to attend this author event at Grand Blanc High School, please reserve your spot for FREE at this link. Books will be available for purchase at the event.
- TRANSPORTATION INFO
- Please do not walk through the morning drop off lines to bring your student into the building. This is dangerous! If you need to walk your student in yourself, please park in the main lot in front of the office and walk your student inside.
- If you need to change your student's method of transportation home, please make sure to notify your building office: Anderson office: 591-5829; McGrath office: 591-5827
- Teachers cannot change the way a student is getting home without verification, which needs to be communicated through the office BEFORE 3:00 PM.
- If your student arrives at school after 8:50 AM, please walk into the office and sign in your student.
- Car Pick Up - Please make sure to remain in your vehicles as you drive up to our cones at the end of the day at both Anderson & McGrath. We will get your students to you as quickly as we can!
- GRADE LEVEL/CLASSROOM INFO:
- Thank you to Mrs. Moul's class for hosting our school announcements this week! We are so proud of all of you. Next up: Mrs. Sweers's class!
