GPS PARENT NEWS
December 2010- January 2011

Dear Parent/Guardian:

            The GPS Staff would like to take the opportunity to wish our students and families a very Happy Holiday season.  Our Staff is happy to announce that in late November over 100 turkeys were delivered to our members.  Soon after that event, we held our 1st Marking Period Celebration in the Principal’s Conference Room.  Our selected GPS members with good grades and perfect attendance were invited to join the party.  They received pizza, certificates of achievement and raffled prizes.  We will have our next Marking Period Celebration in the upcoming weeks.           
On Friday, December 10th, students received the 2nd marking period report card.  Now all students are in their 3rd  and final marking period for this term.  Passing all classes during the 3rd marking period is extremely important because it determines whether the student earns the credit for the course or fails, receives no credit and has to retake the course.
Over the holiday break (12/29), GPS members will be invited to join us at Stadium 16- The Regal Entertainment Group on Forest Ave. for a free movie.  Your child is invited if he or she has passed 5 or more classes on the 2nd marking period report card.  Transportation to this event will not be provided by the school.  The movie and time is TBA.   Also, our trip to Dave & Buster’s will be based on 3rd marking period success.   Encourage your child to work hard. 
            In addition to our Math class held Monday – Thursday during 9th period, we also offer Living Environment, Global and English tutoring during that time.  The attached flier provides further information on the tutoring schedule.             

You can contact us by calling:  718-815-8124

Thank you.
