Dear Parents/Guardians of Great Falls Students,
As we approach the Winter Break, I would like to first take this opportunity to wish each of you and your families a most happy, healthy holiday season! I hope that you will have a chance to relax and enjoy some special times with your children. As always, I am pleased with not only how hard they have been working each and every day, but that they are kind. They strive to be “Citizens of the Code” and I could not be prouder!
One of our school wide goals is to help our students understand the important characteristics that make up ethical, responsible, and involved citizens. Our staff model and teach our students not only how to take responsibility for his/her own behavior, but how to demonstrate responsible behavior that is consistent to our core values, The Code of Conduct.
Responsibility
Respect
Honesty
Courage
Compassion
Over the holiday break, continue to look for ways to connect your child’s actions and behavior to the Code of Conduct. With the holiday season, comes many opportunities that can bring the Code of Conduct alive!
Please remember to check our school website on a regular basis, for updates and information, including our monthly calendars and newsletters. The website may be accessed by logging onto http://greatfalls.gorhamschools.org/.
