Dear Parents,

We had a great turnout for both curriculum nights this week. If you did not get a chance to attend your child’s session, a recording has been uploaded to their eCLASS page.

Accelerated Reader is going strong! Students have been busy reading and taking AR tests. I sent out the challenge to beat me to a million words. Believe it or not, we already have two students that have read over a million words. Congratulations to Gavin Zhang and Biniam Deneke for beating the principal to a million words. We have several other students that are getting close to a million words.  I better get reading!

Please join us Tuesday at 6:00 for our general PTA meeting. Voting on the budget will take place. A copy of the budget can be found on our webpage. Copies will be provided at the meeting. This meeting will be in person, as this is a requirement from the PTA association. The meeting will be held in the cafeteria. The board of directors meeting will immediately follow the general meeting. All parents are welcome.

Do you have a child that is interested in joining Cub Scouts? There will be an informational meeting on Thursday night at 7:00. Boys and girls will have an opportunity to sign up for this club.

We are still looking for parents and or business partners to join our School Council Board. If you are interested, please email me at lisa.marie.johnson@gcpsk12.org . Board members are asked to attend four School Council meetings throughout the year, September 23, November 11, January 20, and March 17. These meetings begin at 6:00 and will be held virtually at this time.

Have a great week!

WHO can do AR?  

To log into AR the student can log in through their eclass course page and scroll down until they see the Accelerated Reader link by the Media Center page. The username is their student number and the password is mustangs. Or use this link and bookmark it.  https://global-zone05.renaissance-go.com/welcomeportal/310783

You can check for a quiz (and quiz number) with this site:  https://www.arbookfind.com/

Can students only take quizzes at school? No, they are welcome to independently take quizzes at home OR school. At home, use this link:   https://global-zone05.renaissance-go.com/welcomeportal/310783

Can I take a quiz for my child?  It is best that students takes quizzes independently.  Many of the quizzes have a read aloud feature to use. Now that we are in-person we really would like students to be able to navigate and use the program all by themselves.
