It’s Fall Fundraiser time!!! The PTO is helping the school purchase much needed supplies!! Help them reach their goals! Register your student at mybooster.com and use their 7th period teacher. It’s FREE to register and students win prizes along the way. The fundraiser ends with a SILENT DISCO on Friday October 10th for all students who register. 

🎯 At $4,000 – Every teacher scores a fully-stocked classroom supply set to kick off the year strong!

🎯 At $9,000 – Teachers get their supply sets plus the school is stocked with copy paper for the entire year (no more paper panic ✨).

🎯 At $11,000 – Teachers get supply sets ✅, the school has copy paper ✅, AND every student will receive academic notebooks for each of their core courses for the 2026–27 school year! (That’s next-level learning power 💥).

🎯 At $17,500 – All of the above PLUS our Bear Necessities store will be fully stocked with school supplies, hygiene items, snacks, and more — so every Grizzly has what they need to succeed 🐻💜.

Let’s hit every level together—because it’s always a great day to be a Grizzly! 🐾

Beginning Tuesday, September 30, 2025, I would like to invite ALL of you to participate in the 2025 Fall Stakeholder Survey. Your participation is important because the results will be used as we work to ensure our families’ are having the BEST Gotha experience.

You will receive an email or text with the link to the survey. You can also use the QR code here. Please take a moment to answer the questions about your satisfaction with our school! The survey window will open September 30, 2025, and close on Tuesday, October 14, 2025.

The survey is anonymous, which means no one will know how you answered the questions, so please provide honest, thoughtful feedback.

Understanding word parts allows you to break down complex words into smaller, meaningful units, making it easier to guess their meaning and improve reading fluency. 

kinesis: movement - Kinetic, photokinesis

lev: To lift - Levitate, elevate

log: thought - Logic, apologize, analogy

logos: Word, study - Astrology, biology

manu: hand - Manual, manicure, manipulate

As always, the OCPS Code of Student Conduct can be found HERE.

Thank you for all of your generous donations! Students at each grade level received PAWSITIVITY Packs today for using their Bear Bucks at the Grizz!
