Thank You, TGS Families!

A big thank you to everyone who supported our TGS Student Council apparel fundraiser! Your orders helped us raise funds that will go toward new recess equipment, sweet treats for students and staff, and other fun surprises throughout the year!

We also want to give a special shoutout to Sports Designs and Graphics for their partnership and generosity. They donated $5 for every item ordered back to our council.

Reminder: Fundraiser orders will be available for pickup in homeroom classrooms during Parent/Teacher Conferences on October 21st and 23rd.
You can grab your order when you come in to meet with teachers!

Fall Fun Day Reminder
Fall Fun Day will be held on Friday, September 26th from 1:00–3:00 p.m.

Students who wish to participate should have already turned in their permission slip and payment.

Students will not be allowed to stay for Fall Fun Day without a signed permission slip on file.

Dismissal Information (3:00 p.m.):

Parents/guardians should remain in their vehicles during pickup.

As cars pull into the North Circle Drive, drivers will provide the names of the student(s) they are picking up.

Staff will then radio for students to walk to their car.

For safety reasons, students will not be permitted to run directly to vehicles without checking out with staff.

We will have a clipboard and list organized by groups to check off students as they are dismissed.

Thank you for helping us keep dismissal safe and efficient. We’re looking forward to a fun afternoon!
