Title I Family Engagement Survey
Please take a moment to answer two questions regarding the type of programming and activities we can provide in the future at Gray Hawk and what could be limiting access to family engagement activities here.
Please be sure to choose GHE for your school when answering the survey. We will keep the survey open until March 9 and I will send out occassional reminders. We would love 100% participation in order to have your voice heard. Thank you!

Parent Teacher Conferences
Thank you for your flexibility during Parent Teacher conferences. With the Super Bowl Celebration and the inclement weather, I know that everyone had to do a lot of pivoting and rescheduling. Thank you for making this time a priority to connect with your child's teacher. If you were not able to reschedule, please reach out to your child's teacher to find a time.
Thank You!
Thank you for your patience as we checked people in for the Valentine's Day Party. There were significant lines as people waited to get in but my hope is that people understand that this is another example of ways that we are making OUR school safe for OUR kids and community. If your ID has been scanned you will not need to have it scanned again this year for any events.
NO SCHOOL ON FRIDAY 2/17 or MONDAY 2/20
