GKMS Families,

Our PBIS trait of the month has been gratitude.  As we approach Thanksgiving, I am grateful to be part of such a great community and get the opportunity to work with the most awesome students everyday.   Next week is a short week and we only have school on Monday, November 21st and Tuesday, November 22nd.  

Quarter 2 Progress Reports are available at 3pm today in your Skyward Parent Portal.  Please take time over the weekend to discuss how your student’s 2nd Quarter is going.  Some possible discussion starters; “what is going well?”,  “what is something you would like to improve on?”, “tell me an example of kindness you saw/showed this week.”   

The PBIS team would like to thank everyone who donated items for our hot chocolate day. Because of your generosity, we are going to be able to have multiple celebratory days for our students. Thank you again!

As always, please feel free to contact me with any questions at cbutcher@gkschools.org or call me at 815-784-5222.  I hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving with their families!

Respectfully,

Craig Butcher

Principal GKMS
