GRAY STATION MIDDLE SCHOOL

Dear Gray Station Greyhounds, I hope you’ve had a wonderful summer! I am thrilled to welcome you back to another wonderful year of learning.

Our dedicated teachers and staff have been working diligently to prepare for an enriching and engaging school year.

We are committed to providing a safe and supportive environment where every student can thrive.

Here are a few important updates and reminders as we begin the school year:

• FirstDayofSchool: The first day of school is Thursday, Aug. 1.

• StudentDrop-offs: Please ensure your child arrives by 7:55 a.m. Students may be dropped off from 7:15 a.m. and 7:55 a.m. each morning. Students dropped off between 7:15 a.m. and 7:30 a.m. will remain in the gym until they are released to either breakfast or their homeroom. Students arriving after 7:55 a.m. are tardy and must be signed in by their parent/guardian.

• Transportation: Please ensure that your child knows their transportation arrangements before the first day of school. For bus information, call (478)986-6373. Any changes to daily transportation must be communicated to the office before 1:00 p.m. Please note students cannot be checked out from the office between 2:30 and 3:30 p.m.

• Communication: We believe in open and transparent communication.

Please feel free to reach out to your child’s teachers or myself with any questions or concerns. Additionally, we encourage you to regularly check our school website and social media for updates and important information.

• ExtracurricularActivities: We offer a variety of extracurricular activities to cater to the interests and talents of our students. We encourage students to get involved and explore new opportunities.

• ParentInvolvement: Your involvement in your child’s education is vital.

We encourage you to stay engaged, attend school events, and support your child’s learning at home.

We look forward to a year where academic achievement, responsible behavior, and community engagement are at the forefront of all we do. Thank you for entrusting us with your child’s education. Let’s make this school year a memorable and successful one!

Sincerely, Leigh Ann Knowles Principal
