In the most recent Principal Newsletter, Kosher meal options during Passover were advertised as an option for purchase. However, we have learned that the Glatt Kosher meals being offered for purchase do not meet Kosher-for-Passover requirements. We apologize for our misstep with the meal offering. As we do still have Glatt Kosher meals available for purchase, the meals will be available to purchase the week prior to Passover (April 7-11). The Principal Newsletter has been updated to reflect this change as well as the order form.

We are grateful for the feedback we received and for our partnership with Quest. If there are any additional questions or concerns, please contact Principal Hughes.

Testing completion times are approximate; students will be dismissed according to their allotted times. Please visit the state mandated document to view the full schedule. 

Seniors will have no school on both of these days.

The GBN Testing Center will be closed for classroom makeup assessments on April 9 and 10 as testing center staff will be assisting with state testing.
