Dear Parents,

As we approach the end of the school year, we would like to kindly remind you to take a moment to reacquaint yourselves with our school's attendance policy.

Attendance plays a crucial role in your child's academic success. Consistent attendance ensures that your child is actively engaged in learning and able to keep up with the curriculum. It also promotes positive social interactions and fosters a sense of community within the school.

Students should make every effort to attend class. If a student is ill or otherwise unable to attend class, the parent or guardian must alert the school with written notice before 9:00 am to alert us to the absence. Parents and guardians may contact the school in the following ways:

Use the Attendance Reporting Form on the attendance page of the GWCS website.

Email Ms. Nunez-Oliver, Mr. Mallonee, and the student’s advisor, as well as any other teachers who will be directly affected by their absence.

As per our attendance policy, it is important for parents to provide written notice for any planned absences or absences due to illness, appointments, or other reasons. This allows us to keep accurate attendance records and ensure that your child's absences are properly documented.

FRESH VEG NEEDED…

ESPECIALLY KALE!

This is Tortellini, our resident Russian Tortoise.

He is a ferocious plant eater. Kale leaves quake in his presence.

We have three turtle friends: Grouchy and Sweetie (red-eared sliders), and Tortellini (Russian tortoise). They are all on a natural raw diet which mainly consists of fresh, leafy greens! If you have any veggies from home or want to purchase and donate food items - it is much appreciated! Please bring donations directly to Ms. Kohler in the lab. The below list are their favorite staples. Thank you for helping keep our beloved school pets well nourished!

  1. Kale

  2. Mustard greens

  3. Shredded carrots

  4. Yellow squash

  5. Zucchini
