Web Systems Used at GISNY Our school uses three different systems to keep you informed about what is important for you to know as a parent and student: the school website, Blackbaud and WebUntis. The school website includes a parent portal which is like one stop shopping with everything a parent needs to know. We have now added a manual "Web Systems for Parents & Login Information" to this portal page. You will need to login on the top tool bar under "Parent & Faculty Portal" at www.gisny.org to read or download this manual. The manual includes detailed explanations on how to navigate through the three systems. In the parent portal, you will also find direct links to WebUntis and Blackbaud. We have also added a direct link to WebUntis under Quicklinks on the top tool bar of the school website. Most important your username and password for the website parent portal and Blackbaud are the same, however, your login information for WebUntis is different.

Sportsfest "Schoolympics" | Oct. 26, 2019 (rain date Oct. 27) This year's Schoolympics will take place on Saturday, October 26, 2019 (rain date Sunday, October 27). As this is a mandatory school day for our students, we would like to use this day as an opportunity for all families to get to know each other in a relaxed atmosphere. There will be lots of games for students as well as younger siblings. All students (grade 1 - 10) will meet at 9:45 AM in the gym to prepare for the big opening ceremony. Students in Pre-K and ES will meet in their classrooms. Everybody else will meet on the lawn in the back of the school at 10:00 AM . Students from grades 1-10 will compete in team games until noon and will be supervised by their team leader during this time. Families can cheer on their children's team, have fun at the game stations with younger siblings or just enjoy a cup of coffee with new and old friends. Make sure to pick up your free game station stamp card at the organization table in order to participate in the raffle at 2.00 PM. In order to have a variety of fun stations available for the children to enjoy we need your help. Please sign up for a 30-minute time slot at one of the fourteen fun stations. None of the fun stations require any experience. Each station comes with a short game description. Please use this LINK to volunteer and sign up. There will be supervision by teachers throughout the day. However, we would like all children from Pre-K to grade 4 to have a supervising adult present on the school grounds.
Schedule for the day will be following: 09:45 am – all children grade 1 - grade 10 meet in the gym, Pre-K and ES in their classrooms 10:15 am – opening ceremony 10:45 am – team games begin 11:00 am – fun stations open for siblings / ES- and Pre-K students 12:00 pm – end of games – school community picture 12:15 pm – fun stations open for everyone 1:30 pm – awards ceremony and raffle around 2.30 pm end A big "Thank You!" goes to Dr. Marc Schlueter and Westchester Orthodontics who has sponsored the t-shirts for this year's Schoolympics.
Please let us know if you have any questions, concerns or if you need to notify us of the absence of your child/children by sending an email to kwieborg@gisny.org or jdibetta@gisny.org . We are looking forward to a fun filled day!
