Middle School (5th-8th): August 28
Happy Hour: 5:00 PM

Please note:  Back to School Night is a special evening for parents and caregivers to connect and learn more about the year ahead. We will not have childcare available, so please make arrangements for your children to be cared for at home.

Lunch Visitors

The first weeks of school are all about setting the tone and establishing smooth routines for drop off, dismissal, and lunch. To give students the best chance to settle in and build strong lunch habits, we ask that parents hold off on lunch visits until those routines are running seamlessly.

All parents (LS and MS) are welcome to join their students for a lunch visit from 11:35am - 12:00pm AFTER September 1, 2025.

Calling All Parent Volunteers

GSA magic happens because of you! From helping at events, lending a hand organizing the Uniform Closet and even behind the scenes, there are so many ways to get involved and make a difference. Whether you have a little time or a lot, your participation helps make our community extraordinary!  Sign up here.

Reminder about Aftercare

All families, new and returning, please review the following updates for the Aftercare sign-out procedure:

• The person picking up a child may be asked to present an official ID to confirm their identity and verify they are on the approved pick-up list for that child.
• Only the legal guardian(s) listed in the school directory may pick up a student unless the parent(s) have directly notified the Front Office or Aftercare staff.
• Parents can enter the names of approved pick-up individuals in Popsicle.*

If you have any questions regarding Aftercare, please contact the Front Desk or Ms. Castillo at bcastillo@thegirlsschool.org.

*We are aware of the technical issue that is going on with Popsicle. Chandler has been in contact with them to get this fixed as soon as possible. She will send out an update as soon as it's fixed and you're able to register for your Afterschool programs and Aftercare. If you have not yet signed up for Aftercare, Bernadette will be taking attendance and tracking who is in Aftercare on Monday if the issue has not been resolved by then. We are so sorry for the trouble. Thank you so much for your patience. 

No Cape Needed—She Can Problem-Solve

We know it is tempting to rush to school with something your child forgot, but unless it is their lunch, we ask that you let them manage without it. Part of our mission is helping students develop responsibility and problem-solving skills. We have extra violins, water fountains, and school supplies on hand, and if an assignment or project is late, it becomes part of the learning process. To support this growth, the office will not call classrooms for items that are dropped off, except for lunch.

A PSA for the GSA
We love having parents on campus for Community Meeting and other school-related activities. We know parking spots are few and far between and that often times you may need to park in the neigborhood.

The GSA strives to be a good neighbor! Please be thoughtful of our neighbors and their property when you come to campus.
