The Guy-Perkins School District will host its annual "Child Find" public meeting on Friday, January 31, 2025, at 10:00 AM in the Administration Building. This meeting is part of the 2004 Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), which requires school districts to identify and evaluate children with disabilities, from birth to age 21, within the district's attendance zone. The goal is to locate students who may need early intervention or special education services, but are not currently receiving them. For questions about the "Child Find" process or the meeting, please contact Special Education Supervisor Bethany Blair at bethany.blair@gptbirds.org.
The senior class of Guy-Perkins is excited to invite you to a Father Daughter dance February 8th. It will be in the Cafeteria from 6:00-8:00. RSVP on the Google Form. If you have any questions, email autumn.bradley@gptbirds.org or morgan.hailey@gptbirds.org. Thank you and we hope to see you there!
