GES 4th Grade Newsletter
March 7 - 11
Updates and Reminders
- If you have not turned in your garden tasting permission form please send it in as soon as possible.
- Open House will be this Thursday, March 10th from 6:30 - 7:30. This is a come and go event where your student(s) can show you their work, guide you through digital products, discuss their goals and share their progress for the school year with you. This is a time you are able to spend time with your child inside the halls of GES. Let them guide you to their classes and show you how they spend their days. In addition to students guiding their parents through their classes, Mrs. Hilcher will be hosting an information session about House Bill 2610 and how it will affect instructional minutes required and our school calendar for the 2016-2017 school year. There will be two fifteen minute information sessions offered. One at 6:45pm and another at 7:05pm. Please plan to stop by the library/learning commons to get more information on the upcoming changes to our instructional day. If you are not able to make either of these sessions, more information will be included on future Monday Message newsletters.
- Kindergarten Registration will be April 25-29. We will be hosting a Kindergarten Rally on Thursday, April 28 from 5-7:30 for families to tour our school, turn in registration papers and shop at our GES spirit shop. Please help us spread the word!
