September 7 Gurrie Tiger Notes
Principal's MessageSupporting your child at home makes a big difference! Encourage them to talk about what they’re learning each day, help them set aside a quiet space and regular time for homework, and celebrate their efforts as much as their achievements. Reading together, asking questions, and showing interest in school events also helps students feel motivated and supported.
Proud to be a Tiger!

September 9th Gurrie Open-House
We’re excited to welcome you to our Open House on Tuesday, September 9 at 6:00 PM! The evening will begin in the gym with a quick introduction and an overview of each department’s curriculum.
Next, parents will head to their child’s advisory classroom for a short overview of advisory and to pick up their student’s schedule. After that, you’ll have the chance to follow your student’s day, visiting classrooms and meeting the teachers who will be guiding their learning this year. This is an Open House, a great opportunity to get to know Gurrie and connect with our staff. Please note that it is not a parent-teacher conference, as teachers are still getting to know your child and won’t yet have detailed academic progress to share.
We look forward to seeing you on Tuesday, September 9 for a fun and engaging evening at Gurrie!
Our PTO will be holding a fundraiser during Gurrie’s Open House on Tuesday!
For just $2, you can purchase a candy and write a short note. Students will receive their sweet surprise on Wednesday!

D105 Foundation Family Night
Yearbook Ordering:
Please order your child's yearbook early. Ordering a yearbook is important for students and families because it preserves irreplaceable school memories, provides a tangible keepsake for reflection, and offers a unique window into a child's school life. Your child will look back at this yearbook for years to come and be reminded of all the amazing things that they did, accomplished, and were a part of. Yearbooks are $25 and can be purchased in person with either cash or check or online through this website: jostensyearbooks.com
This year we are continuing with having the option to customize their yearbook. This will be an additional cost and is ONLY available online. If you purchased one already in person and would like to switch it to do the customization, please reach out to Mrs. Neadly through either ParentSquare or email: lneadly@d105.net.
If you would like to submit photos for consideration for the yearbook or are wondering if you have purchased a yearbook, please send them to Mrs. Neadly through either ParentSquare or her email: lneadly@d105.net.

With a significant number of students, staff, families, and community members attending football games, I want to share important information for spectators.

A child not in the presence of an adult or who cannot find their supervising adult will be required to contact a parent/guardian and be picked up from the game immediately.
Parking at LTHS South Campus
Please note that the significant amount of construction that is still occurring at South Campus this year will impact parking for large scale events, including football games. With parking on campus being limited, we ask that those attending games consider carpooling or walking when possible.
Parking at Garden Market is prohibited. Garden Market Management has communicated that they will tow cars that are using the lot without authorization.
