Free Dress Day for ALL on Friday, Nov. 22

As Thanksgiving Break approaches, we would like to announce that Friday, November 22 is a free dress day for both Lower School and Middle School. Please consult page 11 of our 2024 - 2025 Parent - Student Handbook to ensure that your student's outfit that day is in compliance with our Free Dress Day uniform policy. Please note that this takes the place of the Middle School's Free Dress Day that they usually have on the last Wednesday of the month since we will be out of school on the last Wednesday.

Sign-Up to Bring Goodies for Faculty & Staff on Friday, Nov. 22

We are still looking for parent volunteers to bring in desserts and drinks on Friday, November 22, for our faculty and staff to enjoy over the holidays! Please sign up to show them some love. Once you sign up, you’ll receive an email with detailed instructions.

Thank you so much to the committee and all our parents! Our teachers and staff feel SO LOVED here at the GSA, and we are so grateful for all the beautiful ways you show your support!

Lunch Duty Volunteers - Wednesday, Dec. 18

Every year, we like to host a relaxing lunch for our entire faculty and staff before Winter Break begins. In order to make this possible, we traditionally ask parent volunteers to come help out with lunch duty. We are in need of volunteers to cover Lower School and Middle School lunch duties on Wednesday, December 18 from 11:35 AM - 12:20 PM. Please arrive at 11:25 AM for a short orientation before lunch begins. Thank you so much for the gift of your time!

Firebird Fund Update: Week 7

 

We are now 7 weeks into our 2024 Firebird Fund Campaign, and we are already at 95% participation! Thank you to everyone who has already made a gift!

Why 100% Family Participation Matters

 

At the Girls' School of Austin, we believe in the power of community and the combined impact it has on our students' success. That’s why we’re striving for 100% family participation in this year’s Firebird Fund.

 

Every contribution, no matter the size, helps provide critical resources that enhance academic programs, extracurricular activities, and professional development for our faculty and staff.

 

Beyond raising funds, your involvement also sends a strong message to our girls: that we, as a school community, are united in our commitment to their growth and potential.

 

Together, we can create an even stronger foundation for their future. Let’s show our girls that we are all in this together—because when every family participates, every student thrives!

No matter the final participation of this year's Firebird Fund, we are endlessly grateful to have a school community that remains dedicated to the work we do each and every day! Thank you so much for your continued support. Only one week left to go!
