You'll only need to buy a book bag & a water bottle! GES MEET THE TEACHER We are very excited to see everyone on Monday, August 5th for our Meet the Teacher Night! Doors will open at 4:30 and staff will be available to help you find your classroom and meet your teacher for this school year! This is such a special time of year filled with anticipation and excitement! ANNUAL REGISTRATION REMINDERIf you have not completed annual registration for the 2024–25 school year, please search your email for a message from mailman@finalforms.com and complete the forms as soon as possible.The start of school is quickly approaching, and we need updated information on our students to ensure a smooth start for the school year.Completing this process ASAP, if you haven’t already done so, is especially critical for letting us know how your child will get to and from school.
