Message from the Principal 💌

Dear GBE Families,

The first half of the school year is over! As we reflect halfway through the school year, we have so much to celebrate! I want to personally thank each family for prioritizing school attendance this school year. We are very close to reaching our goal of maintaining less than 15% of our total students identified as chronically absent by June. We are currently at 16%. Last year at this time, 23% of our students were chronically absent. We are proud of the progress we’ve made as a school community and I believe we will reach our goal this school year!

I want to extend my sincere gratitude to the PTA for providing our staff lunch last Friday during the Teacher Work Day. Thank you to Fleur de Cuisine for the delicious food! We have a fantastic PTA and we are grateful for their dedication to appreciating our staff! 

I hope families can join our next Partner with the Principal tomorrow, Thursday, February 1st at 8:00 am in the library. You can RSVP here. We will be discussing our School Improvement and Innovation Plan and our plans around our upcoming GBE Night. We’d love to hear your feedback! 

GBE Night will be a celebration of family favorites through food, performances, interactive activities, and/or shared experiences of our students and their families on Thursday, February 22nd. If you would like to share during this event, please sign up here. We want to learn more about your family! We have welcomed many new GBE families this school year and this event will provide an opportunity for families to build connections with each other. We currently have 962 students with 40 different languages represented in our one school community! What a gift for our students to grow and learn at GBE. Let’s celebrate together as #OneGBE on February 22nd! We hope you can join us to share about your family or come to learn more about our extraordinary school. 

Thank you for your ongoing support this school year. Please know that I am always available to support your family. You can email me directly at djpietzman@fcps.edu. I can’t wait to celebrate your students' accomplishments during the second half of the school year. 

Sincerely, 

Dave Pietzman, NBCT

Principal


Estimadas familias de GBE,

¡La primera mitad del año escolar ha terminado! Mientras reflexionamos a mitad del año escolar, ¡tenemos mucho que celebrar! Quiero agradecer personalmente a cada familia por priorizar la asistencia a la escuela este año escolar. Estamos muy cerca de alcanzar nuestra meta de mantener menos del 15% de nuestro total de estudiantes identificados como ausentes para el mes de junio. Actualmente estamos en el 16%. El año pasado a estas alturas, el 23% de nuestros estudiantes estuvieron ausentes. ¡Estamos orgullosos del progreso que hemos logrado como comunidad escolar y creo que alcanzaremos nuestra meta este año escolar!

Quiero extender mi más sincero agradecimiento a la PTA por proporcionarle el almuerzo a nuestro personal el viernes pasado durante el Día de Trabajo de los Maestros. ¡Gracias a Fleur de Cuisine por la deliciosa comida! ¡Tenemos una PTA fantástica y estamos agradecidos por su dedicación a nuestro personal!

Espero que las familias puedan unirse a nuestro próximo Socio con el Director mañana, jueves 1 de febrero a las 8:00 am en la biblioteca. Puedes confirmar tu asistencia aquí. Discutiremos nuestro Plan de Innovación y Mejora Escolar y nuestros planes en torno a nuestra próxima Noche GBE. ¡Nos encantaría escuchar tus comentarios!

La Noche GBE será una de las celebraciones más favorita de las familias a través de comida, presentaciones, actividades interactivas y/o experiencias compartidas de nuestros estudiantes y sus familias el jueves 22 de febrero. Si desea compartir durante este evento, regístrese aquí. ¡Queremos aprender más sobre tu familia! Hemos dado la bienvenida a muchas familias nuevas de GBE este año escolar y este evento brindará una oportunidad para que las familias establezcan conexiones entre sí. ¡Actualmente tenemos 962 estudiantes con 40 idiomas diferentes representados en nuestra única comunidad escolar! Qué regalo para nuestros estudiantes crecer y aprender en GBE. ¡Celebremos juntos como #OneGBE el 22 de febrero! Esperamos que pueda unirse a nosotros para compartir sobre su familia o venir a aprender más sobre nuestra extraordinaria escuela.

Gracias por su continuo apoyo este año escolar. Tenga en cuenta que siempre estoy disponible para apoyar a su familia. Puede enviarme un correo electrónico directamente a djpietzman@fcps.edu. No puedo esperar para celebrar los logros de sus estudiantes durante la segunda mitad del año escolar.

Atentamente,

Dave Pietzman, NBCT

GBE 가족 여러분,

 

학년의 전반부가 끝났습니다! 학년의 절반을 되돌아보면서, 우리는 축하할 것이 너무 많습니다! 저는 개인적으로 각 가정이 이번 학년의 출석을 우선시해 준 것에 감사하고 싶습니다. 우리는 6월까지 만성 결석으로 확인된 총 학생의 15% 미만을 유지하는 목표에 거의 도달했습니다. 우리는 현재 16%에 이르고 있습니다. 작년 이 시기에, 우리 학생의 23%가 만성 결석을 했습니다. 우리는 학교 공동체로서 이룬 발전이 자랑스럽고 저는 우리가 이번 학년의 목표에 도달할 것이라고 믿습니다!

 

지난 금요일 교사 근무의 날에 직원들에게 점심을 제공해준 PTA에게 진심으로 감사를 전하고 싶습니다. 맛있는 음식을 제공해준 Fleur de Ciouses에게 감사드립니다! 우리는 환상적인 PTA를 가지고 있고 직원들에게 감사를 표하기 위해 헌신해준 것에 감사합니다! 

 

내일 2월 1일 목요일 오전 8시에 다음 파트너인 교장선생님과 함께 도서관에서 가족들이 함께 할 수 있기를 바랍니다. 여기에서 RSVP를 할 수 있습니다. 곧 있을 GBE의 밤을 즈음하여 학교 개선 및 혁신 계획과 계획에 대해 논의할 것입니다. 여러분의 피드백을 듣고 싶습니다! 

 

GBE의 밤은 2월 22일 목요일에 우리 학생들과 가족들의 음식, 공연, 상호작용적인 활동, 그리고/또는 공유된 경험을 통해 가족들이 가장 좋아하는 축제가 될 것입니다. 이 행사 동안 공유하고 싶다면, 여기에 등록하십시오. 우리는 여러분의 가족에 대해 더 많이 알고 싶습니다! 우리는 이번 학년도에 많은 새로운 GBE 가족들을 환영했고, 이 행사는 가족들이 서로 관계를 형성할 수 있는 기회를 제공할 것입니다. 우리는 현재 하나의 학교 공동체에 40개의 다른 언어를 가진 962명의 학생들이 있습니다! 우리 학생들이 GBE에서 성장하고 배울 수 있는 정말 좋은 선물입니다. 2월 22일에 #OneGBE로 함께 축하해요! 우리는 여러분이 우리와 함께 여러분의 가족에 대해 공유하거나 우리의 특별한 학교에 대해 더 많이 배우기를 바랍니다. 

 

이번 학년도 계속적인 도움에 감사드립니다. 제가 항상 부인의 가족을 도와줄 수 있다는 것을 알아주세요. djpietzman@fcps.edu 에서 직접 이메일을 보내주시면 됩니다. 저는 학생들이 이번 학년도의 하반기 동안 이룬 성과를 축하해 드리고 싶습니다. 

 

진심으로, 

 

Dave Pietzman, NBCT

January Parent Workshop

Dear GBE families,

We are happy to share the recording of our January 31, 2024, Family workshop about “Understanding and Enhancing Children Self-Esteem”  As many of you requested. It has Spanish interpretation, but because Zoom languages are limited, we had to put Portuguese for Arabic, and Deutsch- German for Turkish. We are also attaching the presentation and the handout.

Today's Attendance rate is 83.8%

As of today, students enrolled at the beginning of the school year that have missed 8 or fewer days of school are helping us reach our goal of 85% (percentage of students not chronically absent). Thank you for making regular school attendance a priority! We love dancing our way out of the building on Fridays at dismissal when our overall chronic absenteeism rate is below 15%!

Pickup Patrol

Use PickUp Patrol to report absences

In emergencies, email or call the front office 

This is a reminder to put your students' absence, arriving late, or leaving school early in Pickup Patrol (PUP). All default plans should be up to date. Make sure you change the default plan anytime you change your students' permanent dismissal. Emails and phone calls are no longer encouraged, except for emergencies. When you enter a change in PUP, it goes directly to your child’s teacher as well as our front office staff. Please remember to provide a reason for the absence, late arrival or early dismissal. Changes must be entered on PUP by 2:30pm each day. If you need assistance setting up your PickUp Patrol account, please reach out to Adriana Barreto at 703-633-6400 or aabarreto@fcps.edu. 

Este es un recordatorio para poner la ausencia de sus estudiantes, llegar tarde o salir temprano de la escuela en Pickup Patrol (PUP). Todos los planes predeterminados deben estar actualizados. Asegúrese de cambiar el plan predeterminado cada vez que cambie el despido permanente de sus estudiantes. Ya no se recomiendan los correos electrónicos ni las llamadas telefónicas, excepto en casos de emergencia. Cuando ingresa un cambio en PUP, se envía directamente al maestro de su hijo y al personal de nuestra oficina principal. Recuerde proporcionar el motivo de la ausencia, llegada tardía o salida anticipada. Los cambios deben ingresarse en PUP antes de las 2:30 p. m. todos los días. Si necesita ayuda para configurar su cuenta PickUp Patrol, comuníquese con Adriana Barreto al 703-633-6400 o aabarreto@fcps.edu.

 

هذا تذكير لوضع غياب طلابك أو الوصول متأخرًا أو مغادرة المدرسة مبكرًا في دورية الالتقاط  Pickup Patrol (PUP). يجب أن تكون كافة الخطط الافتراضية محدثة. تأكد من تغيير الخطة الافتراضية في أي وقت تقوم فيه بتغيير الانصراف الدائم لطلابك. لم يعد يتم تشجيع إرسال رسائل البريد الإلكتروني والمكالمات الهاتفية، باستثناء حالات الطوارئ. عندما تقوم بإدخال تغيير في PUP، فإنه يذهب مباشرة إلى معلم طفلك وكذلك موظفي المكتب الأمامي لدينا. يرجى تذكر تقديم سبب الغياب أو الوصول المتأخر أو الانصراف المبكر. يجب إدخال التغييرات على PUP بحلول الساعة 2:30 ظهرًا كل يوم. إذا كنت بحاجة إلى مساعدة في إعداد حساب PickUp Patrol الخاص بك، فيرجى التواصل مع Adriana Barreto على الرقم 703-633-6400 أو aabarreto@fcps.edu
