We are still in need of volunteers for the PTA Executive Board for next school year.  Without an Executive Board who votes on the Budget for the 2024-25 school year, the PTA will not be able to function.  What this means is there will be none of the following:

  • Teacher Appreciation Days
  • School Dances
  • Multicultural Night
  • Yearbook
  • Science Night
  • The Raiders Store
  • Teacher Grants

If you are interested in serving on the PTA Executive Board or are interested in learning more, please reach out to Carrie Williamson at carriewilliamson2@gmail.com.  

A huge thank you to Carrie for her tenure as PTA President.

Chromebook Collection:

Starting May 10, students will be returning their DPS computers and DPS chargers in their homeroom classrooms.  If a student does not return a DPS charger with the DPS device, the student will not receive a charger in Fall 2024.  These are IT policies, NOT school policies, and these are REAL countywide IT consequences as a result of student behavior and personal responsibility.  Parents can pay for a charger replacement at any time with the directions under parent links on the GMS webpage and the replacement  charger will be delivered to Githens. Example: Fred does not turn in a charger with his computer to Mrs. Smith’s homeroom class in May. When Fred returns to Githens in Fall 2024, Fred receives ONLY a computer because the charger was lost.  If Fred goes to Jordan High School he still ONLY receives a computer because the charger from Githens was lost.
