Follow-Up Announcement: 21st Century Lobo Academy Family Orientation
We are excited to continue offering the 21st Century Lobo Academy Aftercare Program for our families. Due to recent budget changes, we are only able to accept 30 students this year. We know this may come as a surprise, and we truly appreciate your patience and understanding as we do our best to serve our students with the resources available.
To keep a spot in the program, students will need to remain for the full two hours each day. This helps us ensure that every student receives the full benefit of the program and that all families have a fair opportunity.
It is very important to take a few moments to read the information in the attached link, as it provides all of the details about the program and what families can expect.
Thank you for your continued support—we look forward to working together to make this a positive and enriching experience for our students!

📣 Friendly Reminder About Early Pick-Ups
Dear Parents and Guardians, We hope this message finds you well! 💙
We want to take a moment to kindly remind everyone of the importance of students staying for the entire school day whenever possible. We absolutely understand that emergencies and special circumstances come up, we're here to support you through those times. However, frequent early pick-ups can be very disruptive not only to your child’s learning but also to the flow of our school day.
Additionally, when multiple families come to the office at the same time for early dismissal, it can become quite busy and chaotic, especially while we’re also assisting other families and school needs. This can cause delays and confusion, and we want to ensure everyone gets the attention they deserve. Please help us by planning for students to remain in school for the full day unless there's a genuine need. Every minute in class matters, for their academic growth, social development, and daily routine. ⏰📚
We truly appreciate your partnership and understanding. As always, thank you for working with us to make our school a safe, smooth, and positive place for every student. Warm regards,
GCS Office Team
