Welcome Back to the 2022-2023 School Year!
Dear GES Families,
We have been working hard to prepare for the 2022-2023 school year. Our goal at Gilbertsville is to provide a welcoming environment where all students feel accepted, appreciated, and supported. Listed below are some reminders about the first day of school.
- The first day of school for students is Monday, August 22, 2022.
- Grade 1-5 Hours: 8:45am-3:25pm.
- Kindergarten Hours: AM Session 8:45 a.m.-11:25 a.m. and the PM Session is 12:45-3:25 PM
- Parent drop-off begins at 8:25 am and Parent Pick-up starts at 3:25 pm.
- Our doors do not open until 8:25 AM. Students may not be dropped prior to that time as there is no supervision.
- We will be utilizing the same procedures for parent pick up and drop off as we did last year. All parents utilizing parent pick-up should complete the google form indicating who may pick up their child. If you are picking up your child at the end of the school day, please do not arrive prior to 3:15 pm due to our students being on the playground and traffic backing up onto Congo Road. Students will not be released until 3:25 pm. More information regarding parent pick-up is listed below.
- Students are welcome to bring a snack each day. In addition to our water filling stations, water fountains will be open this year.
- Transportation for all students will be posted in Infinite Campus.
We are looking forward to having a great school year with your children. Enjoy your final moments of summer
Sincerely,
Mrs. Stephanie Petri, Principal
