Teachers and administrators are working shifts and the class(es) with highest student attendance will win a prize from Red Robin! Parents can go to Red Robin for lunch, or dinner, and mention GES to help us out. GES will earn 20% of all sales that mention Grapevine Elementary! We appreciate your support!
Hour of Code!
Hour of Code will be honored at GES on Friday, December 11th. Hour of code is a time where students learn more about computer science and are able to utilize different coding apps. Be sure to look at our classroom twitter page for different activities done in the classroom for coding!
Holiday Parties!
Holiday parties will be Friday, December 18th at 10:45 in your child`s classroom. Be looking for information coming from homeroom moms regarding the party details. Parents are welcome to join us during the parties. Will will be released from school at 11:45 immediately following the class party.
Important Reminders!
- Chilly weather is slowly approaching! Please make sure your child brings a jacket to school when the weather begins to get colder. Kinders are outside in the morning when it may still be chilly outside. Jackets should have their names on the inside tags to help keep up with them. Also, please make sure students know how to put their jackets on and zip them up properly, this will help with broken zippers!
- Ipads! Please make sure that Ipads are being charged nightly if your child takes their Ipad home at the end of the day. Ipads are used on a daily basis in the classroom and must be fully charged to be used throughout the day.
Snack Donations!
For some of our families, providing a nutritious snack each day to assist their GES star’s performance throughout the day does not happen consistently because of food insecurities. If you are able, please donate individually packaged Goldfish or pretzels in order to help us provide that snack for students that arrive at school without it because of the insecurities. This would not pertain to students that simply forgot a snack that day. If your Star forgets his/her snack often, sending multiple days worth of snacks might help. For questions, please feel free to contact Angela Horn at angela.horn@gcisd.net or 817-251-5740.
