Leaders of the Pack!

Our “Leaders of the Pack” have taken on a new role at SGE… morning greeters! These two young ladies help the teachers greet the students entering the building and walk alongside those who need a little extra in the mornings! These two are a perfect fit for the job because of the kindness, gentleness, and responsibility they demonstrate regularly !

SGE Attendance Tracking

SGE's ADA for this past week was 95.4%.


ADA stands for Average Daily Attendance and is defined as the total days of student attendance divided by the total days of instruction. "98 IS Great!", so 98% is our goal!

Viewing Progress Reports & Report Cards

An important piece in the family-school partnership is staying aware of student performance. It is requested that parents view and electronically sign progress reports and report cards. See the directions below, and be sure to get those signatures in! In addition, parents are encouraged to regularly view grades in Skyward.
