Dear GRE Families,
We had an awesome turnout for our STEM/Literacy Night last week! I hope you had fun with your family and enjoyed playing our student created carnival games. A huge thank you to Mrs. Keller, Mrs. Grijak, our staff volunteers and our PTO for putting together one special night!
It's hard to believe we are more than halfway through January. The weather has gotten colder so be sure to send your child(ren) with all the winter fixings-coat, hat, gloves, etc. If you need help getting these items or know someone who may need help, please reach out to us and let us know!
We sent home several important pieces of mail this week including Yearbook Order Forms, February Conference Invites, and Eagle Extension information. Be sure to check your child's backpack to make sure you've seen all these important goodies!
Here's to a GREat week at GRE!

2. Are you a member of the military? Consider letting us know so that we can connect you with other families in the military and show our appreciation for your service at upcoming events. Click here to see available resources for our military families. We hope you'll join us for Military Appreciation Night at the HS basketball game on January 31st. We will host dinner at 6:30 and the game starts at 7:30. We can't wait to see you there!
3. Each year, we have a State of the Schools event to inform the community of all aspects of the district. This year, the State of the Schools took the form of the January edition of The Eagle Examiner. On Friday, the district posted photos from the edition EVERY HOUR on all the districts social media channels! You can also check out the full edition of The Eagle Examiner here: https://tinyurl.com/u6u72cn #InspireAndGuide
4. As a reminder, you must use the parent drop off loop when dropping your kids off in the morning or picking them up in the afternoon. This is for your child's safety and the safety of all of our students. We continue to see parents dropping off in the bus loop. Beginning this week, we will be blocking off this lot to help keep our students safe. If you have questions regarding pick up/drop off procedures, please don't hesitate to get in touch with me.
