One-Minute Survey
By Donald M. Larson, PhD
| |
At our Back-to-School parent meetings, I announced that we would be sending out a monthly “One-Minute Survey.” These will be short surveys that cover various topics. These surveys will be used to help the school leadership with decision-making processes. They will take you less than one minute to complete and will provide us with important information. Please take a minute to complete it.

Art Supplies Needed
There are some things that you might normally toss out or send to Goodwill that the ES Art department can use in their art class. If you are willing, please send them in to either GCS front desk. Here is our list:
- Artificial flowers (immediate need only)
- Solid color t-shirts with no logo or design (immediate need only)
- Plastic (not Styrofoam) egg cartons (these make the BEST paint trays! We always need these!)
- 16 oz. creamer bottles (through Christmas)
- 16 oz. short-style sour cream, cottage cheese, or dip containers (all year)
- Styrofoam meat trays (all year)

Even on days when you did not brush your teeth, chewing gum inside any GCS building is prohibited. Violating this policy most likely will result in behavioral detention being assigned.

Except on Casual or Casual + Days, students should not wear t-shirts to school.
Also, when wearing sweatshirts, hoodies, etc. as "outerwear," students should have a top underneath their "outerwear" that falls within our dress code guidelines.

Students may pick up a student planner from Mrs. Kilmer's office upon request, while supplies last. There is no charge for this.
