    It’s highly recommended that you place money on an e-wallet account for your student so that they can come in and shop with a preset amount. No cash to lose or give away!! Please use the above link to access e-wallet set up. If you have used the e-wallet feature before, you will not need to create a new account. It is very simple to set up, and the funds are available the same day they are added.

    Thank you for supporting your child’s love of reading,

    Good afternoon Glider Families,

    Our Back to School Night is this Tuesday, 8/27. We will have two of the exact same sessions for you. You can attend both if you have more than one child or pick one time that best fits your schedule. Here is our agenda: 5:30 - 5:45 or 6:15 - 6:30 pm: Attend informational booths around our school for important information. We will also have treats and a raffle for a brand new laptop. You get raffle tickets for each booth that you attend and you do not need to be present to win if you are only attending one session. 5:45 - 6:15 or 6:30 - 7:00 pm: Classroom visits. Visit your child's teacher to learn more about them, classroom routines and expectations and school year information. We hope to see everyone on Tuesday night!

    This week:

    Wednesday, 8/28, Early Release and all students are released at 2:15 pm.

    Good afternoon Glider Families,

    We had a great first week back with our 1st through 5th grade students! We are so excited to welcome our new Kindergartners on Monday, 8/19! 

    The Boys and Girls Club before and after school program begins on Monday, 8/19.

    Every Wednesday is early release and all students are dismissed at 2:15 pm.

    We will continue to have free breakfast and lunch for all students. If your child is eating breakfast, they may arrive to school no earlier than 8:30 am. If they are not eating breakfast, they may arrive to school no earlier than 8:40 am. Please ensure your child adheres to these times as there will be no adult supervision.

    Our website, https://www.washoeschools.net/gomes will be a very important resource for you this school year. You can access important information and every weekly message will be there for you to refer back to.

    I have attached our school handbook to this email. Every family will be receiving a hard copy of it and our school calendar. Please read and familiarize yourself with our rules and procedures, including our drop off and pick up zones. It is very important for all cars to pull up in front of our school as far as they can. This alleviates congestion at the back of the drop off/pick up line of cars. Also, there is no parking in our drop off/pick up zone. Our school handbook is also located on our website for reference throughout the school year.

    We are a uniform school, so please ensure that your child wears approved clothing. The policy is also on our website.

    Upcoming:

    Monday, 8/19, Kindergarten begins.

    Tuesday, 8/27, Back to School Open House. 5:30 - 6:15 pm or 6:15 - 7:00 pm. These times will be the exact same sessions, so you may attend both if you have more than one child or if a certain time works better for you.

    Friday, 8/30, Student Attendance Awards

    Have a wonderful week,

    Mrs. Capovilla
