A Letter from Mrs. Sabbato

Hello GBI Families,

As we move into March, bringing warmer weather and the shift to Daylight Savings Time, I am looking forward to seeing our students enjoy the outdoors and the arrival of Spring. I hope all of our Wildcats are feeling energized after the snow and cold weather we’ve navigated over the past few months!

We have an incredible season ahead of us. Here is a look at what’s happening around campus:

Technology Takeover: We just wrapped up this event, and it was a fantastic success, seeing our students engage with new technology with the support of GBH students.

PTA Boosterthon: Our biggest fundraiser of the year is officially kicking off! Keep an eye out for ways to support our school goals.  We are hoping to raise enough funds for a permanent kickball field. 

March Madness: Get ready for the highly anticipated Student vs. Faculty basketball game! It’s going to be a high-energy event you won't want to miss.

We are consistently moved by the overwhelming support we receive from our families and the surrounding community. It truly is a great day to be a Wildcat!

Mrs. Sabbato, Principal

Students will gather pledges, either based on laps completed or flat donations, as they run laps on a vibrant, high-energy race track set up in our gym.

School Safety & Security Tip

Visitor Check-in Process

Please be ready to show a government-issued picture ID. We use Raptor Kiosks to streamline and control the visitor sign-in process while maintaining a high level of security. Upon entering the building, visitors report directly to the security desk where they must show a valid, government-issued ID. Our school security officers (SSO) will scan visitor's IDs, take their photo with the Raptor kiosk, and then issue visitors a temporary ID badge to complete the check-in process.
