In August, the counselors at Athans & Associates in Park Ridge, will be running a group for rising 3rd, 4th and 5th graders called Back to School Bootcamp. It will be 3 days in a row (Tuesday Aug. 12 to Thursday Aug. 14), for 2 hours each day (9 am – 11 am). You can learn more about the group here: https://www.athansandassociates.net/groups

This group is designed to help children feel excited about the school year ahead. Our goals will be to reduce school anxiety and refusal, as well as improving social skills and task management. We’ll also be offering private sessions with parents to give them education and skills to support their child. Students can sign up by contacting our office or me directly at [email protected]

Do you have extra clothing that you and/or your child has outgrown? If so, please place in the green recycling bin located by the Teacher's parking lot. For every pound of clothing, our school received 2 cents and everytime the bin is filled the company plants a tree.

We have begun planning for the next school year.  We know that families sometimes move out of the Garvy attendance area during the school year, or are planning to move over the summer. Please complete the information below by Friday, May 30th.  (Please complete one form for each student you have at Garvy)  If your child is not attending a Chicago Public School in the fall, a transfer will be issued to the student on the last day of the school year.
