Genet Journal – October 30

Good Afternoon Genet Families!

Today has been an whirlwind of excitement; not only because of Halloween tomorrow but also the first snowfall of the school year! Students looked great in their Orange and Black the past two days both in person and remotely! I loved the Fall spirit! Here are a few updates for the week:

Attention Families who are Returning from Full Remote:

Next week, families who have selected to return to Genet in the Hybrid Program from Full Remote will receive notification from my office regarding their child’s teacher assignment, supply list and cohort day/assignment. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to the Genet Main Office.

Genet Special Schedule for November 2, 2020

This week will be Week 3 of our Specials Rotation. This week will also be a “B” Week.  Please click here to download the rotation schedule: Genet’s Specials Schedule: Week 3

Winter Weather and Recess:

As the colder months draw near, we strive to have students outside for recess as long as the weather permits. This means that students must come to school with the appropriate attire (hat, gloves/mittens, boots, jacket, etc). If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to your child’s teacher or the school’s health office.

Student Council sponsors Candy Gram Sale:

Our Student Council will continue with a school tradition of a candy gram for students and teachers. Candy Grams will cost 50 cents and we ask that if you choose to participate that the payment be exact as we are unable to make change. All proceeds will be donated to the Jimmy Fund.

Your child received a letter from Student Council advisor Mrs. Davis in their classroom this week. Attached to the letter will be cut ghost that a child may fill out with their name (From) and the recipients name (To). If a child does not know who the recipient’s teacher is, no worries, we will fill that in here at the Main Office.

All ghosts and monies can be returned to the school in a zip-lock bag or sealed envelope and be given to your child’s classroom teacher who will then drop it off to the main office.

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to Mrs. Davis by email at davisjo@egcsd.org. Candy Sales will run until Tuesday, November 3rd.
