Vision Screening

The District Nurses will be doing vision screening, both near and far, at Gardner Bullis School for all Kindergarten, 2nd, and 5th grades on October 17th 2017. If your child has glasses or contacts, please make sure that they wear them to school on the day of the screening. The nurse will mail a referral form to the parents of students who do not pass the vision screening.

Calling all aspiring writers – BookQuest is back!

Welcome back to BookQuest - the program that gives every Grizzly Student a chance to become a published writer! And a chance to give back to the community. Go online to the  BookQuest page. Purchase a publishing kit for $25 by Oct. 27, 2017. For every kit purchased, $5 will go towards a cause to be determined by our Student Council. Last year we raised $630 and the money was given to the Lucile Packard Foundation for Children's Health. The kits will be delivered to classrooms during the week of Nov. 13, 2017. This is a take home project! Submit completed kits to the classroom by Jan. 5, 2018 and the books will get published in time to be displayed at the BookQuest Celebration, which will be on Mar. 1, 2018. All are invited to the celebration. We will have a special guest author, refreshments, prizes, and of course, our student authors will get to take their published books home!

Parking Lot Duty

The parking lot closure is coming up, and we need your help!  The parking lot will be closed from Monday, October 23rd - Wednesday, December 27th.  School will be in session for 7 of those weeks. 

To ensure the safety of our students getting in and out of cars during this time, we are assigning parents of each grade just one week of parking lot duty both before and after school, according to the schedule below.

Each day before and after school, we are asking parents to put on orange vests that you will find on the sidewalk along the drop-off/pick-up lane, and to assist children in safely getting in and out of the cars.  The time commitment is small: 8:10-8:30AM, 2:40-3:20PM.

Please look out for an email from your room parent leading up to your week of parking lot duty for a sign-up sheet.
