50th Day of School

Tuesday October 27th

Can you believe it? We are already approaching our 50th day of school!
 
We are so thankful for all the learning, growth, and joy God has given us this year and look forward to celebrating this milestone with your student(s) on Tuesday, October 27th.
 
We invite you to encourage your child(ren) to dress up in a 1950’s theme, or wear 50 of something. 

Please be mindful of the following guidelines when dressing up this day:

  • 1950’s style but no items that distract from learning and regularly scheduled school activities this day (i.e.: P.E, recess)
  • 50 of something (items appropriate for school) but no items that distract from learning and regularly scheduled school activities this day (i.e.: P.E, recess)
  • Jeans with no holes, or uniform pants – no leggings, sweatpants or pajama bottoms
  • No pajamas, no non-GCA shorts
  • Students that do not dress in the theme must be in regular school uniform, no other spirit wear allowed this day.

Student Absence

Email attendance@gcafrisco.org for student absences & tardies by 8am.

Parents, we try to spread love not germs, please keep your student home if they are showing signs of illness.  Students need to be:
  • fever free for 24 hours before returning to school
  • on antibiotics for at least 24 hours before returning to school (dependent on illness).
  • no upset stomachs for at least 24 hours before returning to school
If you do keep your student home, please email attendance@gcafrisco.org to let us know and we will let their teacher know. 
 

Due Date for Work: Excused Absences Only

Students with excused absences of any length should turn in all work by the second class day back at school. Work that was due the first day that was missed is due immediately upon return to school. For example, if a student who attends class three days a week (M-T-Th) is absent Monday and returns to school Tuesday, the homework that was due on Monday is due the day they return: Tuesday. The homework due Tuesday is due Thursday.  (Extenuating circumstances may allow for other arrangements to be made. Please contact individual teacher.) 

Planning an Absence?

If you know of an upcoming doctor appointment, vacation, college visit, etc. please fill out the Planned Absence form below. Our attendance team will make teachers aware of your student’s absence.

Feed My Starving Children Field Trip

Friday, November 20th 11:30am-1:15pm

Please join us in serving together at Feed My Starving Children. 
Helping volunteers turn hunger into hope with their own two hands. 

Feed My Starving Children (FMSC) believes hope starts with food. As a Christian nonprofit, FMSC is dedicated to seeing every child whole in body and spirit. FMSC works with food distribution partners that stay with communities for the long haul, empowering them to move from relief to development.

FMSC meals are developed by food science and nutrition professionals to supplement nutritional needs and reduce problems with malnutrition. Nutrition allows children to grow, thrive and develop to their full potential.

REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED

  • Wear your blue GCA Eagles Field Trip T-Shirt (or another spirit wear tee) with appropriate bottoms.
  • For safety reasons, children under the age of 5 are not allowed in the packing area (sorry, no exceptions).
  • Sickness Policy: To ensure the safety of our volunteers, staff and the food we pack, please do not come to our facility to volunteer if you have new or unexplained symptoms indicative of contagious illness or food-borne diseases.
  • Jewelry Policy: To comply with FDA requirements and remove all opportunity for foreign objects to fall into our life-saving meals (which could cause choking, tooth breakage and more), FMSC volunteers must remove all jewelry and/or accessories before packing.

Location: 1680 N. Glenville Dr., Suite 300
Richardson, TX 75081
