This is a quick video I made to help families navigate PickUp Patrol. Hope it helps but please reach out to myself (Mr. Bassett) or Mrs. Granfield if you are still having trouble!

Fun fact: Mrs. Granfield LOVES when kids create with sidewalk chalk!

If you stroll by the school this week please leave a note of encouragement to our staff and students!

School supplies are already on sale! WHAT?
If you like the early bird sales, here are the 26-27 requested supply lists by grade level. Please remember NOTHING IS REQUIRED! We appreciate anything families can provide, but we will make sure every child has what they need to succeed at FGH!

Here is a helpful video made by our FGH teachers to prepare students for kindergarten. It has some skills to begin working on this summer if families are able to!

Veteran parents- what was helpful for your child and family as they transitioned to kindergarten?
