Here are some of the things you will find…

*Please note: In order to access the Summer Reading Website and all of the activities, students cannot be logged in to their fcpsschools.net accounts.
Friendly Reminder...
This is the last friendly reminder to please return all GBW library books. Please do your best to locate and return these items. In-person students can return books to the bin outside of their classrooms and virtual students can return books to the wagon outside of the main entrance (Door 1). If the wagon is not outside, please ring the doorbell. A great time to return books is when you turn-in your laptop. If you can't find any items, please contact Mrs. Wilhelm at sawilhelm@fcps.edu.
FCPS will be returning to five days a week of in-person learning in the fall. You can get a head start on the 21-22 school year by pre-purchasing your child's school supplies. Each Spring the GBW PTA offers the convenience of pre-packaged "supply kits" from CampusSurvival. Instructions for online ordering can be found at www.campussurvivalkits.com/gbw, as well as on our GBW school homepage. Online ordering closes on July 15.
Supply kits ordered through CampusSurvival will be delivered to the school sometime in August. You will receive notification in August as to when your supply kit(s) will be available.
If you would like to purchase your own school supplies, supply lists, by grade level, can be found on our school website under the Academics tab

THANK YOU! for a great year from the PTA.
It has been an incredible year. We want to thank the students for their incredible resilience, the teachers who have worked tirelessly with our students and for being so patient and creative, our GBW staff for accommodating continued changes, added work and always being there for the community with smiling faces, and most of all to our community and parents for taking on multiple roles as parents, care givers, teachers etc. as we progressed through the year.
We are grateful for community support and our volunteers who were able to pivot creatively to support our students.
We look forward to seeing everyone back in school next year. We wish for a peaceful, restful summer for all the families.
