GW's WeeklyNews & NotesAugust 26, 2026

Welcome to the 2026-2027 School Year! Welcome to the 2026-2027 School Year!

We are excited to begin another wonderful year of learning, growth, and partnership with our GW families. Our theme, Purpose in Action, reminds us that meaningful growth comes from turning our intentions into positive actions each day, through our learning, our relationships, and the choices we make as a school community.

Each Wednesday afternoon, you can expect to receive this newsletter filled with school highlights and key dates to help your family stay informed throughout the year. We encourage you to check it each week so you don't miss important information.

As you prepare for the start of school, please take a few moments to review the information (3 Pages) that was shared earlier this summer. It includes helpful details about school hours, arrival and dismissal procedures, important forms, and introductions to new staff members.

Our faculty and staff have been hard at work preparing for an outstanding school year, and we can't wait to welcome our students on Tuesday, September 1. We look forward to a year filled with learning, growth, and Purpose in Action!
