Please click here to complete a short form to document your child's permanent daily dismissal plans. It is important to complete the form by Friday, August 18.

All families must complete this form even if you have registered for a bus via the Transportation Department.

GWS will continue to use the PickUp Patrol (PUP) App to help us better manage our dismissal process. PUP allows parents to electronically make daily dismissal changes from a computer or smart phone. Families that have not already registered will receive an email with login information.

This year, GWS is providing general supplies/materials for every student.

Lunch will be served at all elementary schools this year free of charge.

We look forward to welcoming our newest GWS students to the 2023-2024 school year!

Kindergarten Playdate

The GWS PTO would like to invite you and your kindergartner to a playdate on Tuesday, August 22 on the new GWS playground. The playgroup has been divided into three sessions. An email was sent with your child's scheduled time. If you did not receive an email please call the school.

Kindergarten Orientation

Kindergarten orientation is Tuesday, August 29 by appointment. You should have received an email with your child's scheduled time. Please call the school if you did not receive an email.

Every three years our parent/guardian CORI forms need to be updated in order to volunteer at school events. This year marks the beginning of a three year term, so every parent/guardian that would like to volunteer needs to complete a new form this year.

Please click here for the form and submit by bringing this to the front office with your license. You do have the option to have the form notarized and sent in with a copy of your license if you cannot come to the school.
