Good Afternoon Parents/Guardians,
It has been a productive short week at GBS! It marks the beginning of Q2 which not only means that we are 1/4 of the way through the school year, but also your student's schedule likely shifted to a new special or two. Be sure to ask them what new class they are in!
Thank you to all the parents and staff for a successful Parent/Teacher Conference day on Tuesday. I know that it is challenging to find the time in the craziness of the day to day, but the collaboration and conversations are important to help support our students. It takes a village to provide the best for our students and it is important for them to see the collective team work on their behalf.
If for some reason you were not able to make it in and would like to schedule a time, please reach out to your student's advisor!
On Friday 11/17, the 7th and 8th grade GBS students have been invited to participate with SMS for a school dance. Important facts to know:
- From 6-8 PM
- Cost is $10 per student
- More information to come about drop off and pick up
I hope that you all enjoy the long weekend. On behalf of the GBS community, thank you all who served! Your sacrifice is greatly appreciated!
Adam Caragher, Principal ~ GBS

Around the Bobcat World
We had Mr. Douglas Southerland in this week to talk to students about the importance of how they treat others. His message was one of being accepting and caring to everyone, which helps to us all to feel as though we are an important part of our school community.
