Gannett Peak will be participating in a summer reading program sponsored by the Wyoming Association of Elementary and Middle School Principals. The goal of this program is to promote continued reading during the summer months.
We are sure you realize the importance of reading to maintain skills learned during the school year. Reading is also a superb way of broadening and enriching your child’s world.
To simplify, we are asking that you do two things:
- Together as students and parents, select good books to read regularly during the summer, visit the library often, and do all you can to promote reading as one activity that can be fun during the summer. In short, make books and time available for reading during the summer. Students who do not yet read may count the time that they listen while others read to them.
- Keep an accurate record of the number of minutes spent in reading this summer and return that record at the beginning of the school year. The May newsletter contains a record sheet for your convenience. Students who participate and read during the summer will receive a beautiful certificate of participation.
We encourage all parents and students to participate in this program and have an enjoyable time discovering the wonders that exist within the cover of a good book. We believe this is a good program for young people and support it wholeheartedly.
Our Parents in Education (P.I.E.) group meets on the first Wednesday of each month at noon in the BCE Art Room. P.I.E. helps the school through a wide variety of projects. Want more information? Please email our P.I.E. group.
For the 2019–2020 school year, students should come equipped with the supplies necessary to help them succeed. The items in our updated supply lists will assist your child in being prepared for learning. A suggestion is to buy extra while they are on sale to have for the entire year. You can find this supply list under the parents quick links on the Home page. We can't wait for this coming school year to begin!
Another new school year is right around the corner. The new supply list for your students is now available to help you prepare for the upcoming school year. We encourage you to download a copy of our updated supply list for your records.
Fall pictures will be taken on Wednesday, August 28. You may purchase pictures may through the Lifetouch website or by cash, check, or money order. We must receive all money for orders by August 29. Bring your smile for picture day!
