Please be sure to read and review the expectations with your students attending football games.

• Students are to remain in the stands or designated seating areas unless visiting concessions or restrooms.

• Running to the opposing side of the stadium or loitering behind the stands/walkways is not permitted.

• Defacing, marking, or etching into school property, including the asphalt walkway at the south end of the stadium, is strictly prohibited.

• Throwing objects of any kind, including rocks or other items, will not be tolerated.

The Gifted Education Research and Resource Institute (GER²I) is excited to offer our Fall Super Saturday program for students in PreK through 8th grade. Unlike our other programs, Fall Super Saturday is designed for both parents/caregivers and children, allowing students to learn alongside their family members. This program gives families a unique opportunity to explore and strengthen their students’ critical and creative thinking skills while actively engaging in rich content and hands-on activities.
Sessions will be held on two Saturdays—September 27 and October 11—from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM. A variety of exciting courses will be offered on both dates!
You can learn more about our course offerings from our website:

Registration is now open, so please go to https://cvent.me/vyXn1e.

We would live to welcome you to our GER2I family, if you have any questions about our program, please reach out directly to Yichen Dong at dong288@purdue.edu.

If there is a change in your child's transporation, whether they will be picked up or riding a bus, it MUST be communicated with the front office. This can be done by sending a note to school or calling the office. If you call the office, please make sure you speak with a person. There is a central list at each elementary school, which allows us to check when students are unsure and the teacher may not be available. Do not just send a message to the teacher. The office MUST be notified. Thank you!

NOTE: Transportation changes should be in to the office by 2:00 pm.

We love having you visit our schools! To ensure the safety of all our students, anyone who wishes to volunteer or have lunch with their student must first complete a volunteer background check. You can find the link under the Parent Resources tab on our website.

A friendly reminder: for the safety of our students, please remember to bring your photo ID whenever you visit the school for any reason, including student pickup, lunch, or meetings.
