SCHOOL INFO:


School Calendar:

Please make sure to check out the Leland & Gray school calendar.  It differs from the District calendar because of professional development days for our faculty.   The full calendar can be found here.


Snow Day Routine Change:

 This year we have changed our routine with regards to snow days and our day rotations (green/white and A/B/C)The change - reflected in the attached calendars (click here) is that when we have a snow day, we will SKIP the intended day and NOT PUSH it. In other words, the days are hard-scheduled for the year in advance.  

Late Bus Calendar:

The late bus schedule can be found here.  Please note the bus will only run south this year.

The 3GC Outreach Assistant will work closely with the coordinators of 3 Generations Collaboration to assist with outreach and publicity for our volunteer and community service program. 

This internship will help you practice some communication and marketing skills, and you will also have the opportunity to learn about how a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization functions. (Did you know that about 1 out of every 7 Vermont workers is employed by a non-profit organization?)
