A Principal's Perspective
This student note pictured below says it all for our GP Mission and focus on the social/emotional learning of our campus. This note was from a new student. It says, "Dear Principals, I love your school at my other school I felt different and like I was left out."
Pretty powerful words from a third grader to remind us of the importance of student to student/staff connections and staff to student connections. Thank you for the continued, purposeful work that you do to build relationships with your students and with colleagues as well. Collectively, we are creating a special place for our school family!
