PARENTS AND FAMILIES,
THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF OUR HEARTS FOR ALL OF THE LOVE, CARE, GIFTS AND NOTES THIS WEEK FOR TEACHER APPRECIATION WEEK. YOU ALL SPOILED US AND WE FEEL INCREDIBLE GRATEFUL FOR YOU AND TO BE YOUR CHILD'S TEACHER.

MRS. BLACKWELL, MRS. COHEN & MRS. SIFFORD
IPAD RETURN ON MAY 15TH
On May 15th, 2nd grade students' iPads and chargers will be collected. On that day, please make sure your child brings both their iPad and their district-issued charger with cable (Apple brand).
If your child has lost their charger or cable, please refer to the link below with instructions on how to purchase an Apple-brand official replacement. Note that non-Apple chargers, or chargers not matching this iPad, will not be accepted.
The correct items are: (1) Apple 20W USB-C charging plug, (2) Apple USB-C to Lightning cable, 1 meter length.
Link to purchase replacement from Amazon: http://tinyurl.com/gcisd-chargers
Please remove all stickers from the iPad cases. iPads will not be accepted until all stickers have been removed, as students were told when they received their iPads not to put stickers on them. Peeling off the stickers can take some time, so starting now will help to avoid taking up any more time to wait for students to remove them.
Rising 3rd graders will be issued Chromebooks when they return to school in the Fall.
*Mrs. Sifford's Class should plan on bringing their ipads and chargers Monday, May 12th and just leaving them at school until the 15th.
****Our classes will enjoy Pillow, Book and Snack that afternoon! They will cuddle with their pillows, a good book (one from home, or one of mine) and a snack!****
New and returning students can register for the 2025-2026 school year.
GCISD is in the planning stages for the 2025-2026 school year. It is important for you to register your child as soon as possible, as it will affect the number of teachers retained on every campus in the district. Thank you!
On May 16th, Mrs. Canafax has planned an amazing Career Day for our students to hear about and learn from others in our community.

A green note when home with your children in their Take Home Folders this week. This is simply to let you know that we understand that the mornings can sometimes be a challenge for students. Sometimes they are anxious or sad about something at home. Sometimes their allergies are giving them trouble. Sometimes they simply are exhausted and need a little extra love and hugs from us. We get it and want to best support your child. If you find that your child is having one of these mornings, please just send us an email and all that you need to say is "Handle with care". We will get the message and be sure to give your child extra support and understanding that day.
Our planning time is from 2:15 - 3:00pm each day.
