Regarding Food Allergies & Special Diet Accommodations...
All forms (see "Food Allergy Form" above) must be completed by a physician for the cafeteria to make any modifications to a child's diet.  The first page must be filled out.  Then  parents should choose the other appropriate form that fits their child's needs.

 “The church community has a special obligation to children [sic, and vulnerable adults] that it carries out with seriousness. In the church’s ordinary life, children are educated in the faith and initiated into the church’s sacramental life. Parishes devote significant energy and resources to the development of their young members, and countless individuals have dedicated themselves to ministering to youth. Everyone in the community has a responsibility to protect children [sic, and vulnerable adults]—parents, clerics, educators, youth ministers, volunteers working with youth, even youths themselves, and adults who are not directly involved in work with children.”

GSCS will use an automated phone/text message system to notify parents of snow closings, delays, or other emergencies.  These alerts are through our My Students Progress system, so it is important that parents notify the office of any changes in phone numbers.  
Please note that it takes approximately 10 seconds for the phone message to begin playing after you answer.
