Join Our Parent Connection Group!
Looking for a way to stay connected, support the school, and get to know other parents?
Our Parent Connection Group is a casual, welcoming space where parents can make a meaningful impact—without a huge time commitment.
We meet in the evenings for about 60–90 minutes, a few times throughout the school year.
Whether you come to one meeting or all of them, your presence and input are valued!
This group works behind the scenes on school-wide initiatives like:
· Planning and supporting fun events and fundraisers
· Coordinating Teacher & Staff Appreciation efforts
· Discussing school procedures and sharing feedback as needed
· Building a stronger parent-school-community connection
Note: This is not the same as volunteering in the classroom. For classroom roles or event-day help, please refer to our Family Volunteer Program policy for more details.
Participation in this group is completely optional—but we appreciate every bit of support.
Come for the conversation, stay for the community!
(Consider this our version of a PTO type group!)
Scholastic Book Order Due
Scholastic Book Clubs Orders Due!
*This will be the last order of the school year!
Order due date: 04/17/2025
Shop our school page: orders.scholastic.com/GVJLC
Shop Flyers: https://clubs.scholastic.com/all-flyers/
Class Code: GVJLC
Our class is excited to read with Scholastic Book Clubs! It’s a great way to build your child’s book collection at home and help them improve their reading skills. When you shop with Scholastic Book Clubs, your orders earn points we can redeem for books and other classroom supplies.
Here’s how it works: We’ll send home flyers like these periodically throughout the year. If you decide to place an order, you do it through our class ordering page. Your books will arrive at school about 10 days after I submit our classroom order after the due date.
When you place an order, please use the class code GVJLC or school name, not the teachers name unless otherwise instructed.
Please make sure to include your child’s first and last name (or as much space as you can fill in!) so we can make sure the order goes home in the correct student’s backpack.
