PDAC Meeting At Gregory
This year District 204’s Parent Diversity Advisory Council (PDAC) has chosen a theme of “Parents as Effective Partners.” Studies have shown a direct link between parent involvement and student success, so we’d like to invite you to join the Gregory branch of PDAC to continue this conversation. We’ll discuss how to increase engagement & create connections with the goal of “strengthening the home & school bond.” We are seeking feedback regarding your experiences and ideas. Please join us Thursday, December 13th at 7 pm in the Gregory LMC! Contact your student’s counselor with any questions or concerns.
Positive Referrals
Students getting caught doing the RIGHT thing! When a GMS staff member catches a student following the “Gregory Way”, the student receives a copy of the positive referral and another copy goes into the POSITIVE Referral jars in the main office. Every Friday we will select 3 students in each lunch period from the POSITIVE Referral Jar. Weekly Winners get to choose a prize from the following items: candy, gum, lunch snacks or donated items. At the end of each quarter, 2 students from each grade will also have the opportunity to win a $20 gift card from a local restaurant or retailer like Chipotle, Yogurt Beach, Dairy Queen, Dunkin Donuts, Taco Diner etc.. All students who received a positive referral during that quarter will be in entered into the quarterly drawing. The more referrals you receive the more chances you have to WIN! At the end of the year, ALL students who received a positive referral during the year will be entered into the GRAND PRIZE drawing and have the opportunity to win something AMAZING!
