The goal of Open House is to ensure that you meet your teachers, receive your schedule, receive your carpool tag, and sign up for PowerSchool Parent Portal. You will receive a checklist upon entering the building to support completing these tasks. A teacher or staff member will initial your checklist as you visit each station. It is imperative that you visit the media center where you will need to visit the following tables/stations: PTA, PowerSchool Parent Portal, PAAC, and Athletic Boosters. We encourage all families to join and support the Githens PTA and sign up for the PTA Pride Blast when visiting their table in the media center.
Attention all parents. Due to COVID restrictions, Githens Middle School will implement a new system for carpool. As such, it is imperative that all parents attend our Carpool Meeting on Monday, August 23, at 6:30. This meeting will be held via Zoom and the link to the meeting is included in the email that accompanies this phone message. It is also extremely important that all families retrieve their carpool tags prior to the first day of school. Parents should expect delays in the afternoon and parents who have signed up for bus transportation should be prepared to either bring and/or pick up their scholars to/from Githens if bus transportation has not been set up for their scholar.
