GFSD Extends Community Communication and Support For Students

The superintendent’s update via the parent-squared email system provided a link for family members and caregivers to opt into the email news system. This system delivers information about district activities and events, which includes Board of Education meetings, the school budget, and school closings and delays.
Community members who opt into receiving the emails can choose to provide a cell phone number to get text messages about school closings and delays due to snow or other unplanned events as well; and this source for the information would be available before announcements are made on local television or radio. This school news notifier is being made available to anyone in the greater school community.

The Glens Falls School District is also making an effort to “meet students where they are and accelerate them to where they need to be” by offering extra support to children that need it. This program takes place in each of the elementary schools on Mondays and Wednesdays, and focuses on math and reading. There are approximately 130 students who currently participate in this program. 

In January, the Middle School and High School will be launching “evening school” for students who struggle to attend regular school day hours. For more information, please visit GFSD.org.
