Hello Gilham Families,
It was great to see so many families at Open House/Curriculum Night. Thank you for supporting Gilham. If you have any questions about what your student it learning this year make sure you connect with their teacher.
• Regular School Schedule -- The school schedule this year.
Monday/Tuesday/Thursday/Friday starting at 7:55 and ending at 2:25.
Wednesday starts at 7:55 and ends at 1:10.
• Curbside Pause Parking Reminders -- This continues to be an issue in the afternoon. Please remember that drivers need to stay in their cars in the pause parking lane. If you are having someone else pick up, please share with them the process to pick up. We are having a lot of adults out of the cars or leaving the cars.
Please note the following rules for pause parking:
• Drivers must remain in their cars at all times.
• Drivers should pull forward as space becomes available.
• Drivers should NOT stop in marked crosswalk areas.
• When getting in or out of a car, students must use the door on the sidewalk side. Students should never get in or out of a car on the driver’s side. It’s unsafe for the student and it slows traffic.
Drivers must remember to ALWAYS yield at the painted crosswalks and sidewalks.
• No Toys/Electronics/Sports Equipment at School – This is a reminder that toys, stuffed animals, sports equipment (footballs, frisbees, soccer balls, etc.), electronics, and other non-school-related items should stay home. Besides being a distraction, they can also become lost, stolen, or damaged, for which the school is not responsible.
• No Dogs or Pets On Campus – A reminder that dogs or other animals outside of service animals are not allowed on school grounds between 7:00-5:00 or at school events. See School Board Policy KGB for details.
• Volunteering Background Check Info – If any parents or guardians would like to volunteer at Gilham, you’ll need a completed background Check. See the Volunteer in Eugene School District 4J Webpage for details.
• Sonare Singers – Sonare Singers is an after-school music program focused on teaching music through singing. We meet every week when school is open, and provide a safe and fun space for students to enjoy learning and exploring music.
Students will be introduced to core musical concepts, fundamentals of singing technique, a wide variety of musical styles and genres, and music theory. Parents will receive regular email updates about what we’ve been learning and more resources for encouraging your student’s love of music!
