Art supplies

The art room has really been getting messy!  It would be magical if we could get baby wipes in any quantity!  We also have a wish list if you are interested in donating any art supplies.  Thank you for everything you do to make your kids' art experience what it is at GES!

Snow Entrances

As we head into the winter months and the possibility of snow or ice increases, our custodial team will be prioritizing the main entrances on the north and south sides of the building. During the pick-up line, please have your child remain in the vehicle until you are near the front of the building. Additionally, the brick road can become very slippery, so using the main drop-off line is preferred whenever possible.

Tuesday, December 16th: GES Night at the Gretna Runza

Tuesday, January 20th: GES PTO Meeting in the library with childcare provided

If you need to contact the PTO officers, email us at GretnaPTO@gmail.com

 

Nurse Notes

Please ensure that any classroom treats (birthday/star student) that are sent in have a nutrition label/ingredient list on them. Many places have the ability to provide one upon request. Unfortunately we are not able to let them be handed out if they do not have a label. Please email the nurse at afichter@gpsne.org with any questions.

Please keep an extra set of clothes in your child's backpack. Spills and accidents happen and students tend to be more comfortable in their own clothes.

Lunch time parking

If you come to have lunch with a student please pull all the way forward when parking out front.  It is important to leave room for Preschool dropoff.  We appreciate you help with ensuring they get dropped off safely and quickly
