Sunday updates

Dr. Grace James Families,

Our regular newsletter will resume on October 4 at 6 p.m. Today we will provide you with a few quick reminders. There is no school next week. Students will return to school on Monday, October 5, 2026 by 7:30 a.m. We are working diligently to eliminate morning tardies, we ask that you make an effort to have your GEM here on time and to remind student drivers to leave ahead of time.

During this break, we encourage families to check in with GEMS regarding possible missing assignments and support your GEM with a plan (if applicable) to get caught up over the break. Encourage your GEM to clean out their backpacks and eliminate clutter which can be stressful. Check in to see how they re using an agenda to stay on top of everything. in addition, we want all GEMS to take a mental and physical break, encourage your GEM to enjoy physical activity outdoors, spend time with family and friends and reset so we are prepared to start fresh on Monday, the 5th.

As always thanks for partnering with us and have a safe break
