Unity Tickets
We had so much fun this week focusing on "U", using kind words and actions. Our students are doing a great job of being aware of their actions and words. If your child receives a Unity Ticket, make sure to ask them what they did to earn it and how did it make the people around them feel. We are working hard to make the connection between our actions and how it impacts others. Next week's focus will be "N" need to keep our hands, feet, and objects to ourselves". To help your child prepare for this, you can talk as a family about how your child can demonstrate the unity expectations.
Week of 9/6-Need to keep our hands, feet, and objects to ourselves
Week of 9/12-I will follow directions the first time given
Week of 9/18-Take ownership of our actions and learning

Thank you for supporting our efforts to develop a kind, safe, and welcoming school. You are an important part of our GES Community and we appreciate you!

HSA Meetings-Exploring Babysitting Option
Hey everyone! Our 1st HSA meeting is just around the corner and we are so excited to see as many of you as possible! We are exploring a babysitting option for those that would otherwise be unable to make it due to child care conflicts. Please see the google form below, to help us gauge at how many of you would be able to attend our meeting and if you would need to utilize our babysitting option so we are able to plan accordingly! Thank you so much and we look forward to seeing all of our new and returning parents!
