March 15 - March 19
Parents & Families,
We have one more week to go until Spring Break - and three more total weeks in Quarter 3. Please make sure you are checking your student's grades on PowerSchool and helping them finish the best they can! One thing we try to impress upon our students is to Persevere - learning and growing every single day. Help your student finish this quarter strong!
Our last flag football game is this week, and we have been so proud of our young men and women participating in our athletics this season. They have had good attitudes, competed hard, and followed all of our new health & safety protocols. Thank you for making this happen with us!
This will be the last week that the YouthTruth survey for students and families is open. We have about 35% of our families that have participated. We're aiming for 50% - so help us get there, and tell us what we've been doing well with and where we can improve!
And last, please remember that AVID Applications are now open! This has been a fantastic program/system/class that we have had for our students the past three years. In fact, the first graduates of AVID at GPHS are finishing up their first year in college - what a success!!!
-Mr. Sale
Family Character Dare - THEIR THING
Offer to spend time with a family member doing something that you know means a lot to them. For example, playing chess with grandpa or learning the new video game your student loves.
Even though it might not be interesting to you, investing in other people's interests is a great way to have them feel appreciated and validated.
