Staff Recognition
This is a hard choice this week! First thank you to everyone for making our Parent Teacher Conferences a success! Hard work was put in from everyone in our building, as well as long hours! You are truly the best!!!
Want to shout out to Jolene Johnston for being a trooper and assisting this next week with making sure our 5th graders have a VOICE! She is proctoring the District Climate Survey with these students and was glad to help make sure they were heard and given ample time in the computer lab to take the survey. Thank you!!
Thank you to Mr. Samuel for his hard work each day with juggling behaviors, paperwork and assisting with overseeing the safety and learning of our school. He has gone in today to put in some extra hours to take care of some work popped up at the end of the night during conferences. He is dedicated to what is responsible, respectful and safe for GBE!

Parent Teacher Conference #'s --
Summer School/Summer Adventure Forms can be turned into the office on Monday-
Any that you were not able to get returned, that are on our list of needing to attend Summer Adventure-- try reaching out again next week. If you need assistance make me aware.
Once we send out April Retention Letters, we will have these conversations again if parents have not signed their student up. We request that any student in danger of retention attend Summer Adventure. This is always up to the parent, but at times we still need to re-visit with our Retention conversations.
April Retention information will be share out with teachers next week. I have already met with new teachers and gone over this information
