We had a great first full week of school!
Kindergarten Colors
For the first two full weeks of school we will be helping our Kindergarten students learn their colors by having color days. We invite all our students to participate. This week we are wearing: Monday- white, Tues.- brown, Wed.- purple, Thurs.- black, Fri. -pink.
Kindergarten Lanyards
Kindergarten parents, please continue to have your child wear their lanyard. This really helps to identify your student quickly, as well as helping during lunch time and dismissal.
Food Service
Just a reminder that parents must apply for free or reduced lunch this year online. Also, if you want to deposit money in your child’s account, you can do so online by setting up a lunch account. You can even have it send you email reminders for when your child’s account is getting low. The full price breakfast is $1.50 (.30 reduced) and full price lunch is $3.00 (.40 reduced). Food service sends out robo calls when the charges add up so please be sure to either send in cash or deposit online. https://www.gccschools.com/home/our-district/departments/food-services/
Transportation Changes:
Any transportation changes need to be communicated to the front office. You may send in a note or call the front office at 812-288-4868. Please indicate whether this is a permanent change or just for the day. Please notify the front office of any changes by NO LATER than 2:00.
Attendance:
If your child must be absent, please call the school first thing in the morning and leave us a message with your child’s name, teacher’s name and reason for the absence. If your child tests positive for Covid, please know that the child must complete a 5 day quarantine beginning with day 1 being the day after the positive test with return to school on day 6. Upon return, your student will be asked to wear a mask on day 6-10 and will be socially distanced at lunch (since they would have to take their mask off to eat).
Powerschool:
We sent home letters to set up your parent account for powerschool. If you do not have an account already, this is a great way to see your child’s grades and keep track of progress. If you need help or have any questions about setting up the account, please contact the front office for assistance.
