School Announcements Spring 2013: Celebrate with Books

From the Principal 

Sandra Carlson

We hope you will take advantage of all of the information this website has to offer. There are links to teacher email, the parent portal, testing information, the monthly calendar and more. Explore and learn all about Gray School.

New at Gray School this year is a longer school day that incorporates recess.  Students are given the opportunity daily to run around and play outdoors.  Dress accordingly is the new message.

We are part of the O’Hare Network and Mrs. Anna Alvarado is our Network Chief.  We look forward to working with her and the O’Hare Network staff in implementing new CPS initiatives.  Come to our LSC, BAC and NCLB meetings to keep abreast of all that is happening at Gray School.

We have the best staff around including 16 Nationally Board Certified Teachers and many with advanced degrees.  We are always busy at Gray School promoting learning for everyone. We have partnered with DePaul University this year to provide workshops for teachers and parents.  We welcome your participation. 

Teach to One is a new addition to Gray School this year.  It is a differentiated mathematics learning program for our sixth, seventh and eighth graders.  It boasts a spectacular math lab.  Stop by and see it if you’ve not yet had the chance.

We are proud of the accomplishments of our teachers and students, including our winning sports’ teams.  There’s something for everyone at Gray School.

There are many terrific things happening at Gray School. Ask your children, your teachers, check the website regularly, or stop by the office for more information.  We encourage you to be an active part of the Gray School community.
