Please be patient during drop-off and pick-up times, as we anticipate increased traffic.
Lunch Plans
- Please discuss with your child whether they will bring a packed lunch from home or enjoy the free school lunch provided.
- Lunch menus are available on the ReachWell app or by visiting this link. Remember, lunch is free for all students!
Daily Snacks
- Pack 1-2 healthy snacks daily.
- Please make sure the snacks are easy, quick, and nutritious (avoid candy, cakes, and cookies).
- Clearly label the snacks in a container or baggie marked “snack.”
- Water Bottles: To keep your child hydrated, please bring a water bottle daily.
Uniform Reminders
- Students should wear tennis or athletic shoes every day. All sweaters and sweatshirts worn in the building must be solid and feature the GVA logo.
Extra Clothing
- Please pack an extra set of clothing, including a uniform shirt, pants, underwear, and socks, in a gallon-size baggie. This will be kept in their backpack for any accidents or spills.
No Toys or Stuffies
- Please refrain from sending toys (including trading cards) or stuffies to school unless they are for show and tell.
- This helps minimize distractions in the classroom.
- Label Everything To prevent lost items, please label all belongings with your child’s first and last name, including backpacks, clothing, lunch boxes, and water bottles.
Afterschool Programs
- Talk with your child about any afterschool activities they are enrolled in, such as ENCORE or Innovation Learning. ENCORE classes begin this week!
Spirit Night at Chick-fil-A
- We’re looking forward to seeing you all at Chick-fil-A's first Spirit Night event on Thursday, August 22nd.
- Come join us for a fun evening and support our school!
Let’s make this a great start to the school year!
