Back to School Info

Congratulations! You're a new Dragon! We can't wait to meet you and get the year rolling! Here is some information you might be wondering about. See you soon!

Wondering what supplies you'll need? Here's the list!

• • • Something to carry papers for class - either binders (we suggest one for the morning and one for the afternoon), individual pronged folders, or an accordion-style folder with at least 8 slots

    • If you are in GHP science, you will need an additional 1 inch 3-ring binder for Science Fair

    • lined paper

    • pencils (LOTS of pencils - buy them now while they are on sale!)

    • pens

    • glue sticks

    • colored pencils

    • highlighters

    • a pencil case

    • an inexpensive set of earbuds or headphones that you can keep at school (you'll get to use them a lot in our classes!)

    • if you are in GHP social studies, you may want an extra binder for History Day 

We also STRONGLY suggest that you have the following supplies, but you don't absolutely NEED them:

• • • a 3-hole paper punch

    • a calculator capable of working with fractions (we use the TI 30 XIIS at school)

    • internet access at home (We can help with this if you don't have it! Just ask Mrs. Nomie in the library!)

    • a reusable water bottle (there is a bottle filling station near our classrooms!)

If you have a smart phone, here are some apps you might want to download 

**No, you can't use this as a ploy to convince your parents you "have to have" a smart phone!

• • GooseChase

  • A QR code reader (there are lots of free ones - pick one you like!)

Some things to know about our schedule. . .

• We are the closest team to the cafeteria, the office, the nurse, and the guidance office. . . SWEET location!

• We are also super-close to the bus drop off and pick up area, and the front door. . NICE!

• Your specials will be periods 1 and 5

• Lunch is pretty early in 7th grade. . . 10:56 AM! If you're staying after school for something, you might want to pack a snack for after school!

• Here are the homeroom numbers and teachers:

  • A155- Mr. Lewis

  • A157 - Dr. Steigerwalt

  • A158 - Mrs. Wetherhold (Mrs. Luberti)

  • A159 - Mrs. Myers
