Tomorrow's shaping up to be a scorcher! 🌡️ We're wrapping up at 1 pm to keep everyone cool and comfortable, but don't worry—your scholars will still get nearly a full day of learning since we're starting right on time in the morning. ☀️ Please make sure they arrive bright and early so they can soak up all the learning before we head out early. 🎒 See you then!

We're so grateful for our amazing cooperative families! 🙏 Thank you for working with us as we launch our new dismissal process and True Driveline procedure. As with anything new, we're still smoothing out the bumps. Your patience and support mean a lot as we fine-tune things. ✨

Here's how the Driveline works best: please stay in your car 🚗 and pull into the line at dismissal time. We'll get your number from your vehicle, and then we'll bring your scholar right out to you starting at 3:15 pm. This keeps everything moving smoothly and keeps our students safe as they head to their cars.

When parents step out of their cars and come to the door, it actually slows down the whole process and creates a safety concern for our scholars exiting the building. So we ask that everyone stay in their vehicles—it really does help us get everyone home faster! 💨 Thank you for helping us make dismissal safe and efficient for everyone. 🌟

What an incredible start to the school year! 🎉 We're thrilled to dive into week two with all the energy and excitement our scholars bring to the classroom each day.

A few important updates to keep things running smoothly this week 🏃‍♂️

DRIVELINE
Our driveline pickup has a fresh new look and procedure designed to get everyone out safely and efficiently. We appreciate your patience as we fine-tune this process! Videos are available on Facebook and here so you can see exactly how it works before tomorrow morning.

MANDATORY FORMS AND OTHER ITEMS
If you weren't able to join us for Parent Orientation and Open House, we need a few forms completed for the school year 📋. We will be sending these forms home, so please make sure to submit them:
Technology Agreement
Emergency Contact
Family Handbook Sign-Off,
Photo Consent/Denial Form
Student After School Activities and Parent Volunteering Sign Up

Also, if you didn't pick up your Driveline car tags yet, just give the office a call, and we'll get them home with your scholar.

SCHOOL LUNCH
School lunch menus are heading home tomorrow 🍽️. Take a look together with your student and plan out which days work best for school lunch versus packing from home.

ATTENDANCE
Quick attendance reminder ⏰: School starts at 8:15 am and ends at 3:15 pm. Arrivals after start time and early pickups are tracked as part of attendance and may affect truancy reporting to the state. We know life happens, but we want to make sure families are aware of how this works.

REMINDERS
The snack store is open Tuesday and Thursday, with an extra Wednesday this week since we have a short week ahead. 🍪 Students can grab snacks for $1 to $3.

FULL DAY FRIDAYS
Most Fridays are full days this year, with only six half-days scheduled throughout the school year.

LABOR DAY SCHOOL CLOSURES
This Friday, September 4th, and Monday, September 7th, are days off for the holiday, so enjoy the long weekend!

We are so glad to have our scholars back! Here's to a wonderful week of learning and growth! 🌟

GHA Families! As you know, we partner with the Boys & Girls Clubs of Southeastern Michigan: Dick & Sandy Dauch Campus. If you are looking to place your scholars in their after-school program Now is the Time to Register! GHA buses scholars from the school to the Club after school, Monday through Friday. This service, as well as enrollment in the Boys and Girls Club has limited space and is honored on a first come first serve basis.

Parents MUST register their scholars at the club themselves before being added to the bus after school.

Scholars who previously register MUST register again. Scholars are not automatically re-registered for new school years.

Don't wait; register today! Here is the link: https://bgcsemichigan.my.site.com/V2/s/login-home

Summer's almost a wrap! 🌞 Next week marks the end of summer school, and before you know it, students will be heading back to the classroom. Mark your calendars because GHA, like all of the surrounding school districts, is starting the school year on August 24th for grades 1st–8th and August 31st for grades PK and K! 📅

Here's some exciting news we're thrilled to share: we've listened to your feedback and made meaningful changes to our calendar! 🎉 This year, we're cutting way back on half-day Fridays. Instead of 38 half-days, we now have just 10! That's 26 fewer half-day Fridays, which means more consistent instructional time for students and more predictable scheduling for your work week. 💼 We're keeping a few half days to support our staff's professional development and parent-teacher conferences, but the reduction gives everyone more stability throughout the year.

We are kicking off the school year with GHA Parent Orientation and Open House on Friday, August 21st from 12 pm – 2 pm, and we'd love to see you there!

This is your chance to meet your child's teachers 👋, grab important information like classroom assignments, driveline numbers 🚗, meet your child’s teacher, and pre-register for afterschool activities 🎯. Plus, there's plenty of time to mingle with staff, students, and fellow parents — it's a wonderful way to kick off the school year together! ✨
We really hope you can make it. See you soon! 🎉
