Gilles-Sweet Elementary

News & updates for the week of May 18, 2020 *  Learning-at-Home Edition

Teachers have been in to clean out their rooms and student desks, lockers, and cubbies the past two weeks. They bagged and marked each student's materials. Realizing some families may want to have these at home sooner than later, we will have pick up days the week of May 18th-22nd.  

Please use the front driveway and park along the sidewalk.  Tables will be set up by classroom teachers' names outside the front doors where students' belongings will be bagged and marked with the students' name.   

If your child also has any library materials that you would like to return, please place them on the book cart located next to the tables outside the front doors.

5th Grade SlideShow:   Students yearbook pictures as well as other school candid pictures will be organized into a slide show and shared with 5th grade students and families.

Gilles-Sweet Staff Farewell Video: The staff of Gilles-Sweet is currently working on a video of farewell messages to 5th grade students as they begin their middle school careers. 

Hello Fairview Park Families!

I hope all my  Rock Star Parents  are doing well!  It is hard sometimes to say how we are really doing with all the unknown around us.  I have truly learned to just look at "one day at a time."  It really is the best we can do right now! Below are some ideas of supporting you and your child with your mental health.  I hope these can be another tool to have in your tool box!

To help support with May being Mental Health Awareness Month...here is a great link to the best apps to help with Mental Health for your child.

Another fun tool is the Mood Meter  Many times our children don't have the words of how they are feeling.....in this article and visual, you could ask your child to point.....where is your energy and where is your pleasantness.  Then you would have a good idea of how your child is feeling.

As we approach the end of the school year, it is important that you let us know if your child will be attending any school other than Gilles-Sweet or for 5 th graders, Lewis F. Mayer Middle School.T

his information will help the staff plan for the 2020-21 school year.  Please contact Gilles-Sweet school office at 440-356-3525 ex. 2104 or jjohnson@fairview.k12.oh.us if your family will be moving in the upcoming months.  You may also fill out this withdrawal form and return to it Gilles-Sweet.

 

Thank for your help!
