Our Wildcats returned yesterday ready to learn, grow, make memories, and SHINE! ✨ We loved welcoming our students back to GBP and kicking off a brand-new school year together.
Here’s to a year full of bright beginnings and big things! 🐾
Beginning Tuesday, all students arriving by car will enter the building through the bus entrance. After exiting the vehicle, students will walk through the designated gate and follow the sidewalk along the bus ramp into the building. This will be our permanent morning drop-off procedure.
This change adds an extra layer of safety, provides stronger supervision, and creates a consistent arrival routine for all of our Wildcats.
A few important reminders:
-Doors open at 7:15 a.m. Please do not drop students off before this time, as supervision is not available.
-School begins at 7:35 a.m.
-Please follow staff directions during drop-off and have your child exit when directed.
-Families are encouraged to take advantage of bus transportation whenever available.
Please allow a little extra time during the first few mornings as we get familiar with the new routine. Thank you for partnering with us to keep our Wildcats safe and help every student start their day ready to SHINE! ✨
We’re so excited to welcome our students and families for Meet & Greet tomorrow, September 3!
