Family Update

With the colder weather approaching please make sure your student is dressed appropriately. Students will be outside in the morning for at least 15 minutes before we open the doors. During recess students should bring their coats with them to lunch to avoid having to return to their lockers.

We also have FREE hats and gloves available for students who would like one. They just need to stop at the front desk.

The Gahanna Coat Connection is a way to ensure that every student in the Gahanna-Jefferson school district can have a warm coat and outerwear! Simply click on this link, Gahanna Coat Connection, and fill out the Google Form under requests. Students from the high school ESS program will deliver the requested coat to your chosen home school.

***Looking for a way to support the Gahanna Coat Connection? We are in need of heavy winter gloves in child and adult sizes, gender-neutral scarves & hats, as well as coats in the following sizes: men's- small, medium, XL, & 3XL; women's- XL & 3XL. Feel free to drop them off at the high school or email Jill Long (longji@gjps.org) to coordinate a pickup. ***
