All volunteer opportunities will be posted on the GIS website page: Volunteer Opportunities. We will update this page on a regular basis.

Alhamdulillah there is more interest from parents to participate and lead school activities and to form a PTSO. I would like to form an Election Committee to study the current PTSO Bylaws and to plan for 2013-14 election of officers. Please send me an email (nihadm@granadaschool .org) if you would like to be on the Election Committee. Please note that members of the Election committee will not be nominated as officers. Election tentative plan:
  • October meeting: Nomination of officers
  • November meeting: Election of officers
