A new reporting system called EDSBY has been rolled out at the Gordon F. Kells High School for parents to use in order to see students鈥� attendance and marks.
Its purpose is to improve electronic communication between school and home.聽 There is no substitute, however, for talking with a student鈥檚 teacher(s). What we want is for all parents to be able to check in on attendance, assessments, and to get information about what is going on in the school.
If something doesn鈥檛 sound right to you, please arrange for a conference with the teacher. They can be emailed to arrange for a conference time.
Student-led conferencing occurs from 5-8 p.m. on Nov. 25 and 26.
As always, pandemic responses by our school are constantly under review. Restrictions at this time have been loosened in terms of student cohorts being able to engage in more sporting activities during physical education classes and allowing intramurals at noon hour. As the weather gets colder, we know this will be a great thing for kids.
Otherwise, your school is prepared for anything that comes its way during this pandemic. Our students have been doing a great job of adjusting to the new routines and we would like to acknowledge the support of our community.
If you are ordering your pictures through the school please have your order to the office by the end of the day on Nov. 12. You can order online following the instructions in your picture package.
Picture retake day will be on Nov. 19. Only those students who were not in attendance on Oct. 21, or whose parents/caregivers notify the office prior to Nov. 19 will be on the list for retakes.
Though we were unable to have a live Remembrance Day program this year, the students watched a recorded GFK Remembrance Day program which included student readings and videos. Students also put up a Remembrance Day bulletin board and images in the school hallways.
The band will be doing the annual fruit and cookie dough sale, but the company isn鈥檛 doing anything this fall. The band students plan to start selling in January with delivery in March. Thank you for your continued support of the band program in Carlyle.
All your school information can be found on the GF Kells website on the 麻豆视频east Cornerstone School Division website under the 鈥渟chools鈥� tab.
