As Passover begins on April 12 and Passover Seders are on April 12-13, our next Homework Free Zone will take place April 14 -15 for those who celebrate. In addition, Good Friday for both Eastern Orthodox and Western Christians is on April 18, and Easter is on April 20. Therefore, the last homework free zone of the year will be from April 21-23 for those who celebrate. Students should inform their teachers if they are observing these holidays in advance so that teachers can plan accordingly.

Finalizing Post-High School Plans
|
Starting April 21, GBS seniors will begin meeting with their counselors to finalize their post-high school plans. This is a very exciting time for all seniors, and we know it may come with a mix of emotions–joy, anticipation, and even a bit of uncertainty.
To celebrate this important milestone, seniors will have the opportunity to share their post-high school plan by writing their next steps on the SAC courtyard windows. While students are welcome to celebrate their plan independently, please note that there will be no additional school-sponsored events specifically recognizing post-high school plans.
