Our GCA Schoolwide expectations are to Be Safe, Be Responsible, and Be Respectful in all things.

Excuse notes for absences need to be emailed to nurse@gcahtx.com

Parents, please include in your conversations at home about bathroom hygiene, safety and etiquette.  We all work together to keep our students and facilities safe and well taken care of.

Secondary Parents--Have you checked your students technology use lately?  What about their grades?  We know it's easy to get busy, but our students still need guidance and encouragement from home.  Social media can be very destructive to student mental health, well-being, and overall success in school.  Everyone wants to think "my child would never..." but the dangers are out there.  Be diligent and keep the conversation open at home.

Do you remember last year?  The student who raised the most donations was able to pie Ms. Felix in the face. 

                     
This year, how about some SLIME? That's right!  The top earner will get to SLIME Ms. Felix at the end of the Color Run.  The grade level that earns to most will get a water balloon party in May.
So far-Kindergarten is in the lead!
