GES Family Update
9.5.23
First Day of School Report
Today went well! We had a few children that were sad to see their parents go, but as soon as they were inside the building, they were learning right alongside their friends. Breakfast was smooth. please help your children know if they are getting breakfast or not each day. Lunch and recess were good, too. All classrooms and specials started the process of building community and teaching expectations. You should be receiving weekly updates from your child's teacher, with more details about expectations They are your main point of contact.
Overall, we are off to a good start!
Arrival update
GES Arrival went well. The last bus was a little late and all students were inside the building at 7:48 am.
Timing on these first days are always a bit slower than usual. When timing is finalized, all students will be inside the building by 7:35 am. Thank you for observing and following our procedures.
Dismissal Update
Dismissal time went as expected!
GES afterschool YMCA friends all got to the multi-purpose room and checked in by 3:05
Bus friends made it to busses and they departed about 3:16 a few minutes longer than usual. Typically they will leave at 3:10 or so. (we did have one student get on the wrong bus, but we were able to identify the student and re-route for drop off).
Car Pickup friends were OK. Many of you are experienced and know the routine. Dismissal is 3:00 and we start calling at 3:04. The first students came out and cars started to exit the parking lot at 3:06 pm. Today we had 96 cars exit the parking lot and we were finished at 3:18 pm That is about 7.4 cars per minute! Not bad for the first day.
Please remember your sign, if you don't have one, contact us and we will make you a card, if we have your card, we will send them home tomorrow with your child.
We do have some families that are walking pickup friends or children that meet a sibling at the GMS. Please make sure they know the routine. They should exit the school on the playground side and meet on the west side of school near door #15 and the bike racks or another location that your familiy determines.
