Here we are again at the end of another month!  The countdown is now at days left this year and busy days they will be!

Dress Code Reminder

With the change in seasons, and as your children continue to grow out of their clothing that fit them last fall, we wish to provide you with this reminder.
As stated in the GCS Handbook the school’s overall dress code standard is modest, clean, neat, and appropriate. Shorts and skirts must not be shorter than just above the knee, which is typically to the tips of the fingers on most children. Girls are permitted to wear sleeveless shirts as long as the straps are wider than three finger widths (please no shirts with thin spaghetti straps). Clothing with a rebellious or negative message are considered dress code violations.

All kindergarten and elementary students must have a second pair of shoes to be worn inside. According to provincial regulations, kindergarten and elementary students are required to wear socks at all times while at school. Sandals are not permitted for this reason.

We are thrilled to see our elementary students wearing GCS apparel on a daily basis. We are even more excited when we see our parents embracing their GCS pride and purchasing clothes for themselves. For those wishing to purchase GCS apparel, please visit one of our online clothing stores at https://allstarcresting.ca/gcs_apparel/shop/homeor http://gracecs.entripyshops.com/. New items are being added regularly.

Field Trip

We putting the final touches on our field trip plans with a tentative date of June 10.  More details will be coming in the days ahead.

Colouring Contest

Maritime Electric is currently running a contest for students in K-6.  They can colour and submit their pictures for the chance to win $500 in school supplies for their classroom.  Our class came home with these on Friday.  You can click on the link to lead you to the submission page or complete the top of the sheet and bring it back to school for me to submit.
