Gecko News (6-8-2022)

Hello Garfield Families!

As we head into the second to last week of school for the 21-22 school year, the energy is starting to pick up around here! We are so excited to get to have families on site for kinder and fifth grade graduation and for your help with the mini-carnival field day events!

Carnival/Field Day:

Kindergarten and 5th grade have all the volunteers needed for their activities. We would love about 2 more volunteers for first, second, and fourth grades.  If you are interested in volunteering and your volunteer registration is complete and cleared, please email me at [email protected].

(Please Note: It’s too late to register as a new volunteer this year – but don’t worry! There will be more opportunities next year!)

Report Cards

Report cards will be mailed out at the end of the day June 21, 2022.

Toys at School

Please have your child keep all of their toys at home. Toys (including cards like Pokeman or others) should not be brought to school.
