Word of mouth remains the most powerful marketing tool. Help us encourage community members with little ones to explore our neighborhood schools.
It is critical that families establish or verify residency soon if they have a student entering GPPSS next fall, particularly for kindergarten (by May 1) and Young Fives (by April 18). Click here to see the pre-enrollment process (step one) and the residency documents (step two) required by board policy.
This Frequently Asked Questions document was created in response to inquiries from families this year.
