Our districts foster an encouraging, supportive, and welcoming environment where relationships thrive and everyone feels valued.
The AC/GC Principals and Superintendent will be at the Guthrie Center Farmer's Market tomorrow morning from 9AM-11AM. Come say hi, grab some ice cream from Cafe on the Hill, and visit the other booths.

The previous message about the Transitional Kindergarten and Preschool Open House tonight at 5 pm is for the Guthrie Center Elementary.
Hello GC Parents,
Just a quick reminder that tonight at 5:00 PM in the cafeteria, we'll be hosting our Transitional Kindergarten (TK) & Preschool Open House! We will open the doors at the bottom of the steps on the south side of the building for you to enter.
With TK being brand new to our school, this is a great opportunity to learn more about the program and what it offers.
Feel free to share the invitation with friends, family, or community members who may need the information- especially if they don't currently have children in the building.
Here's a quick overview of our programs:
Preschool Program - 3-year-olds with IEPs & all 4-year-olds
Transitional Kindergarten (TK) - 5-year-olds (1/2 PreK, 1/2 K)
Kindergarten - 5-year-olds and older
We'll be sharing a lot more information about both our PreK and TK programs tonight. I'm really looking forward to seeing you all there!
Thank you!
-Tandem
