Tiger Families

Thank you to all the families that were able to join us in person or virtually for the Quarter 1 awards ceremonies, lunches, and classroom visits. The students and staff were so excited to see you!

On Monday, November 25th, most staff will work almost a 12 hour day in order to provide evening conference times for families. On this date, all conferences are in person after the school day ends. The PTA works hard to provide a meal for staff on this date.

The PTA needs your help. Please use the link below to sign up for items to contribute. This is open to any family or community member that is looking to support this effort.

Doors open at 9:10 for students to enter GES

If students are dropped off before 9:10 they will have to stay outside.

Part of the vision of Guilford Park HS is building a community rooted in a restorative justice culture that benefits staff, students, and families. To ensure everyone has the same understanding, our staff have been involved in a book study on The Little Book of Restorative Justice in Education. On December 5 from 6-8pm, we want to invite our families and community members to learn more about restorative justice and hear what it looks like at GPHS, as one of the book’s coauthors, Dr. Kathy Evans, will join GPHS staff and students in conversation. If you are interested in attending, please register here.

If you ordered spirit wear (shirt or hoodie) those items are in and were delivered to your child's teacher.

Due to popular demand and lots of people asking, PTA is going to open up a 2nd order window for spirit wear sales. Order must be received online by Nov 24th. Expected to be delivered before Christmas! (around 12/18). They are listed on the PTA online store.

Conferences are November 25th, 26th, and 27th. November 25th is a 3 hour early dismissal and will be in person conferences only (once the students are dismissed) and November 26th is a 3 hour early dismissal and conferences will be virtual only (once the students are dismissed). On November 27th there is no school for students at all and conferences will be virtual only.
