I am so glad to see that many of you are doing the online registration. However it looks like many have done so under the new family link instead of logging into TeacherEase. If you are a returning family please do not use the New Family link. Please log onto your TeacherEase account and you will be prompted to register your child(ren). If you used the New Family link, please go into you TeacherEase account and register again online. Again, thank you for registering online. We will see you to complete the registration process on the 8th at Fountain Valley 11-1 or 4-7 or in the gym on the 10th 9-11 or 4-7. See you soon!

Staff will be awarding TGS Pride Bucks'. Students will be able to spend their P.R.I.D.E bucks at the TGS store. That’s where we could use your help! Your donation would be greatly appreciated!
