  • Top 3 Intentions

    • Educate
    • Engage
    • Energize

    The Family Association was created to connect, involve, and communicate with TGS parents for the development of our community and success of our children. 

    The Gregory School Family Association Operating Protocols

  • Why is this important to you?

    Research has shown that family engagement leads to

    • Student Success
    • Positive Family and School Staff Relationships
    • Clarity in Communication
    • Confidence in our School

       “When parents are involved at school, the performance of all the children at school, not just their own, tends to improve. The more comprehensive and well planned the partnership between school and home, the higher the student achievement.”
      – Henderson, A.T., and Nancy Berla. 1995. A New Generation of Evidence: The Family Is Critical to Student Achievement. Washington, DC: Center for Law and Education, 14–16
