Drop and Go Shelf
Please use the Drop & Go Shelf in our secure vestibule. Families can drop forgotten items and go, without having to enter the main office. Thank you for your help as we learn and practice this new procedure together. Please make sure that your child's name is on the item. You will find masking tape and a marker on the top of the shelf for labeling.
Medication
If your student will be taking medication during the school day, feel free to bring the medicine and the form to the office when you pick up your student from registration. The medication forms are in K12 and listed below:
Medication Administration Authorization
Required for all prescription and over the counter medications to be given by school staff.
Self Administration Medication Authorization
This form allows students to carry and use their medication in school. This form is required to be completed and signed by physician, parent, and student.
Lost and Found
Is your child missing their favorite jacket, lunchbox, or water bottle? Our Lost & Found is overflowing and looking for its rightful owners! Please have your student stop by to rescue their missing items before they’re donated. Pro-Tip: Labeling your child’s jacket tags, water bottles, and lunch totes with their first and last name makes it super quick and easy for us to reunite lost treasures with their owners!
Need help staying organized, Trojans? We have good news!
Leftover planners are now on sale in the main office for only $5!

Self-Care
What is self-care?
Self-care is an essential survival skill. Self-care refers to activities and practices that we can engage in on a regular basis to reduce stress and maintain and enhance our short- and longer-term health and well-being.
“Just like you do on a plane, you need to put on your own oxygen mask first before trying to help others.” -Dean Nancy Smyth
Self-care is not simply about limiting or addressing professional stressors. It is also about enhancing your overall well-being. There are common aims to almost all self-care efforts:
- Taking care of physical and psychological health
- Managing and reducing stress
- Honoring emotional and spiritual needs
- Fostering and sustaining relationships
- Achieving an equilibrium across one's personal, school, and work lives
Each of us may differ in the domains we emphasize and the balance we seek among them.
Each life is unique and has its own unique demands. Consequently, we each must determine what self-care means for us and how to apply it in our life.

A reminder to students and families about appropriate attire as you finish up the back to school preparations. Per the Student Code of Conduct students are expected to:
Wear clothing that adequately covers the chest, back and mid-section.
All tops must have sleeves or straps.
Clothing must cover undergarments (bra straps excluded).
Shorts, skirts, and dresses must cover undergarments, have an inseam, and adequately cover a portion of the thigh at all times.
GPPSS is committed to fully complying with Michigan’s new state requirements. Cell phones and communication devices are to be off and out of sight during the school day.
If students need to be reached during the school day, please continue to contact the main office at (313)432-4700. Middle school students may use their phones before the first school bell and after the final school bell.
