Greeting families!
We hope you had a wonderful summer. Today, we held our first event of the year...Rookie Camp! It was a great opportunity for those new to GEMS to get acquainted with each other, their teachers, and their new school. Thank you to all the families and staff that made this a great experience.
We also wanted to share some notes about next week.
1. Breakfast and lunch are FREE this year
2. This Wednesday is the first day of school. It is an early release. Students will be dismissed at 12:47. Busses should pull out around 1:00.

Have a great weekend!
