Monday, October 22nd
Monday, October 22, 2018, is GBE School Picture Day for all students. It’s that time of the year again to capture school memories with portraits by Lifetouch. An order form was sent home in your child’s Friday Folder, to explain detailed information as well as the payment envelope. Additional order forms are in the front office.
You may also choose to pay online at mylifetouch.com:

If you would like to order the picture packet, your child must have the payment envelope at the time of his/her picture is taken on Monday, October 22nd.
If for some reason your child misses this opportunity on Monday, October 22nd or you do not like the results, picture make-up day will be on Wednesday, December 5th.
Author Visit
 This week fifth and sixth grade students experienced an amazing author visit with New York Times Bestselling author Alan Gratz. Mr. Gratz is best known for writing historical fiction books for middle grades including Refugee and his latest Grenade. Students loved every moment of his visit and our hold list for his books keeps on growing!
This week you should have received the Student-Parent Survey for Federal Impact Aid requesting confidential information regarding your child’s federal connection. By thoroughly completing and promptly returning this brief survey, you contribute to your child’s school funding.
For each school-aged child in your household,please complete, sign, date, and return the survey to your child's school. If sections 1 and 2 of the survey do not apply to you, just check the box in Section 3.
