Join us for Read Across America Week next week!
There will be no school for Garden City Public Schools on Friday, February 20th. There is a teacher inservice in the morning and a workday in the afternoon. Classes will resume on Monday, February 23, 2026.
There will be no Engage after school program today due to increasing winds in the area. Please make arrangements to pick students up after school today. Dismissal is at 3:50. Thank you.
Parents,
Please be cautious and follow traffic laws when dropping students off before school and picking students up after school:
1. Pull to the curb when dropping off AND picking students up.
2. Be respectful of neighborhood residents and do not block driveways or access to mailboxes.
3. Do not double park and use your flashers when waiting for your student. This interferes with traffic and causes a hazard when others try to go around you.
4. Come across the street to pick up your student. We will not send a student into the street or let them cross the street to a vehicle without an adult.
5. Do not park in the bus lane.
6. Be AWARE of pedestrians.
7. Be nice and be patient. We all have the same goal of getting kids to school and back home safely.
Thank you for helping keep our students safe!
