A message from the School Counselor,

Mrs. McCarty

I am also a parent of tweens/teens and so I am navigating my children's digital use just like you. From time to time, I will share helpful information that I hope you will find useful. 

First, please see the video below from Common Sense Media titled Parenting In A Digital Age. Also attached are some family tech planners (one for age 9-11 and one for teens) that are mentioned in the video. 

Best,

Sarah McCarty

Gaudet Learning Academy Yearbooks are available to purchase online for $21. Please click the button below to place your order. Orders will be accepted until April 30th. Important to note: there is a yearbook for GLA and GMS, if you have students in both schools please be sure to order the correct yearbook.

As the weather is getting colder please be sure students wear their coats, hats, gloves, etc for outdoor recess. We will be going outside as much as possible for students to get fresh air and to play.

Students should bring water bottles to school everyday.  Please be sure that the water bottles  seal tightly to avoid spills in the classroom.  Students may only have water in the classroom, other drinks like juice or gatorade will need to remain in their locker until lunch.  Thank you for your help with this!

Dear Parents/Guardians,

Rhode Island is seeing the circulation of several respiratory viruses, including RSV, flu, and COVID-19.



Please keep your child at home from school with these symptoms: 

● Fever 

● Vomiting

● Diarrhea 

● Chills 

● General malaise or feelings of fatigue, discomfort, weakness or

muscle aches 

● Nasal congestion with frequent blowing of nose 

To help prevent respiratory viruses, please remind students:

• Cough or sneeze into your elbow.
• Wash hands often with soap and water.
• Stay home if you are sick.
• Stay up to date on vaccinations.

Keeping a sick child at home will minimize the spread of infections and viruses in the classroom. Thank you for helping make the rest of this year at school as healthy as possible!

Thank you! 

Nurse Phillips
