Parent Teacher Fellowship (PTF) Meeting

Tuesday, September 20 7:45 AM



As we begin the 2016/2017 school year, we would like to introduce the Parent Teacher Fellowship (PTF) to all HGCS parents.  The PTF is a supporting organization of the school and is open to all parents with a child enrolled at HGCS in TK-12th grade.  We use the term "fellowship" as we are a community of Christians working together to benefit our students, teachers, and staff to know Christ and to make Him known through Christian education. Our goal is to provide greater opportunities for parents to become involved, parent-teacher communication to support the education of our children, and for HGCS to connect with the families it serves. 


Parent Teacher Fellowship Team (PTF) Kickoff Meeting
When:  Tuesday, September 20, 7:45 am right after carline 
Location:  Room 1113 (Welcome Center classroom)


We invite all parents, Elementary, Middle and High School to hear more about the HGCS Parent Team and how you can serve our Faculty, Staff and Students for the 2016/2017 School year.
