A Note from Mrs. Lake
Hello Grassy Creek Families,
Monday starts the standardized testing window for our third, fourth, and fifth graders. The test is new this year, and it is called ILearn. There is a computer adapted component in which the computer adjusts based on how the student responds, and then there is a performance component in which the student must solve problems and explain their answer. All three grades take the language arts and math sections. Fourth graders will also test over science; fifth graders will also test over social studies. We will begin testing at 9:20 a.m. Please make sure your child is at school on time and well-rested.
Online enrollment for the 2019-2020 school year is now open. All families need to re register their children so that we have the most up-to-date information for students. Here is the link for more information.
We had a wonderful art show and third grade music performance last week. We appreciate parent support of our programs.
Have a good weekend,
Mrs. Lake

GCES Book Fair - May 9-16
Grassy Creek Elementary is hosting a Buy One Get One Free Book Fair during the school day hours on Thursday, May 9th through Thursday, May 16th. The schedule below is the date that your student(s) will be able to visit the book fair. Due to limited quantities as well as not knowing what will be sent, there will be no Preview Day or Re-orders and your student(s) will only be able to visit or shop the book fair on their scheduled date. This is a great way to stock up for your summer reading and take advantage of the BOGO prices.
We are now able to offer our parents “eWalllets” through our Scholastic Book Fair Homepage. Instead of sending in a check or cash with your student, you can set up a digital payment at http://www.scholastic.com/bf/grassycreekelementaryschool . Please watch the video for all of your questions pertaining to this new form of payment. Please remember that students will only visit the fair once and digital payments need to be made prior to their visit!
We will still accept cash & checks written to GCES.
