 After School Clubs - Session 1 - Message from the Director of Student Activities:



After School Clubs are here! We have wonderful clubs to offer this session that can benefit your child.

Families can register for any of the clubs from Sept. 6 – Sept. 19 (Registration Form).
Families can choose to register in two different methods:

  1. Mail in the registration with payment (postmarked no later than September 19) to school.
  2. On-site registration in the GIS Lobby, starting Monday, September 10, as follows:
    • Mornings: 8:00 - 8:30am
    • After school: Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday from 3:30-4:00pm and Wednesdays from 2:15-2:45pm.
    • Registration will also take place during Back-to-School nights on 9/12 and 9/13.


  How will your child benefit by joining a club at GIS?

It’s an opportunity to pull your child away from spending hours in front of the TV or playing video games.  It’s an opportunity for your child to explore a new skill…their self-confidence grows.  It’s an opportunity for your child to meet people with similar interests, and make friends.  It can instill a sense of belonging, promote personal and social skills, and improve social relationships. 

The GIS After School Program is developed to offer additional enrichment opportunities which support the school’s ESLRs and Mission.

You are most welcome to contact me with suggestions, questions, or comments regarding the after school program.

Take care,
Fadwa Musleh
