Dear students and families,
Students and families will soon receive students’ Summaries of Learning. These reports are designed to provide a clear picture of progress, growth, next steps, and to support meaningful conversations at home about learning. We encourage families to read them together with students. Ongoing communication between home and school remains an important part of supporting student success.
We are proud of the hard work, teamwork, and sportsmanship shown by our GFSS basketball teams this season. Our athletes and coaches have put in countless hours, representing our school with commitment and pride both on and off the court. This weekend, we’re excited to host a home basketball tournament and invite families and community members to come out and cheer. Home games are a great opportunity to build school spirit and show our students that their efforts matter. We hope to see the stands full and the energy high in the gym!
