Family Engagement Workshop

Save The Date

Dear GBE Families

Our monthly Family Workshop will be held on February 28th at 10:00 AM in Trailer 2. Families can join in-person or virtually for any workshop. We will send the Zoom link the day before. Even though, we love to see you in person to enjoy the interaction with our great speakers,  Mrs. Eley will send an E-notify message with a YouTube link of the workshop for families if they are unable to attend. The topic is going to be “Peer Pressure”. In effort to provide important information as we continue our partnership as #OneGBE!

Arabic, Spanish, and Turkish interpreters will be available.

 

GBE 가족 여러분께 날짜 저장

 

저희 월간 가족 워크숍은 2월 28일 오전 10시 트레일 2에서 개최됩니다. 가족들은 직접 또는 가상으로 모든 워크숍에 참여할 수 있습니다. 전날 줌(Zoom) 링크를 보낼 예정입니다. 훌륭한 연사들과 교류하는 것을 직접 보고 싶지만, 가족들이 참석하지 못할 경우 Mrs. Eley가 워크숍의 유튜브 링크와 함께 전자 알림 메시지를 보낼 것입니다. 주제는 "동료 압력"입니다. #OneGBE로서 파트너십을 지속하면서 중요한 정보를 제공하기 위해!

 

아랍어, 스페인어, 터키어 통역이 가능합니다.

 

Reserven la fecha Estimadas familias de GBE

Nuestro taller familiar mensual se llevará a cabo el 28 de febrero a las 10:00 a. m. en Trailer 2. Las familias pueden unirse en persona o virtualmente a cualquier taller. Enviaremos el enlace de Zoom el día anterior. Aunque nos encanta verlo en persona para disfrutar de la interacción con nuestros excelentes oradores, la Sra. Eley enviará un mensaje de notificación electrónica con un enlace de YouTube del taller para las familias si no pueden asistir. El tema será “Presión de grupo”. ¡En un esfuerzo por brindar información importante mientras continuamos nuestra asociación como #OneGBE!

Habrá intérpretes de árabe, español y turco disponibles.

Atentamente,

Today's Attendance rate is 83.2%.

As of today, students enrolled at the beginning of the school year that have missed 10 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
