Good afternoon Gladys West Families,
I hope you had a wonderful weekend and are ready to begin another great week together at GWES!
Just a reminder that there is no school on Tuesday, September 23, for students or staff.
We are also excited to celebrate Attendance Awareness Month with a Spirit Week:
Monday, Sept. 22: 😴 Pajama Day (school-appropriate)
Tuesday, Sept. 23: 🚫 No School – Student Holiday
Wednesday, Sept. 24: 🧦 Silly Sock Day
Thursday, Sept. 25: 🏈 Sports Jersey Day
Friday, Sept. 26: 💚🖤 School Colors Day (black & green)
We’d also like to take a moment to remind families about bus expectations. The bus ride is an extension of the school day, and all school rules apply. Please help us by reminding your child to:
Stay seated at all times
Keep feet and belongings out of the aisle
Avoid eating or drinking on the bus
Have respectful voices so drivers can focus on the road
A safe bus ride depends on everyone doing their part, and we appreciate your support in reinforcing these important safety expectations.
Don’t forget to check out the latest GWES Newsletter for important first semester dates, attendance and transportation information, and all you need to participate in volunteer opportunities throughout the year: https://secure.smore.com/n/r5z6b0
As always, thank you for your continued support of our school community. If you have any questions or need anything at all, please don't hesitate to reach out at (540) 372-1140.
With appreciation,
Mrs. Wheeler
