Resources for Families

We are grateful to support our students with the help of our guardians and families. We couldn't do the work we do without your input and reinforcement! Because of this, please know that we are here to aid our students, as well as our families. Connect with us if there is anything we can do to help!

Some things to keep in mind:

• We all have stressors and needs. Our students are unique in that they are constantly being held to higher standards in school, at home, and in the world. We at GPHS try to balance flexibility and college preparation, but in general, students have numerous demands on their time and mental health.

• Therefore, please continue to be understanding with your students. Encourage them to do their best, but recognize that their best might not always look the same (as their baseline or as yours).

• We (you, the teachers, counselors, staff, Admin, etc.) are all working towards the same goal: empowering, educating, and uplifting your student! Communicate with & trust us. We will do the same!

• Communication is key. If there is a change in your family or your student (i.e. behavior, mood, dress) please let us know. Some things might not seem eventful or impactful, but could be the explanation for slipping grades, unexplained behavior, loss of focus, and more!
