🎃 Buddy Day Fun at GES! 🎃Today’s Buddy Day was full of fall fun, creativity, and connection as our buddy classes teamed up to create camouflage pumpkins! It was wonderful to see our older students partnering with their younger buddies, working together, sharing ideas, and building meaningful relationships across grade levels. Activities like these help strengthen our school family by creating opportunities for students to connect, learn from one another, and support each other. The fall spirit was definitely in the air, and smiles could be found in every classroom! Our Buddy Days continue to be a great success, and we are so proud of the positive relationships being built throughout our school community. 🍁🐝

🌾🍂 Pre-K 4 had an amazing day at JZ Farms today! 🍂🌾 Our students enjoyed a fun-filled day exploring all the exciting activities the farm had to offer while taking in the beautiful sights and sounds of fall. From hands-on adventures to making special memories with friends, there were smiles everywhere you looked!

Good attendance habits start early! Even missing just 1–2 days every few weeks can add up and make it harder for students to keep up with learning. ✏️🍎

Being at school consistently—and arriving on time—helps children build routines, strengthen their reading and academic skills, and feel more connected and confident at school. 🌱✨

Let’s work together to make every school day count! 💚

Regular attendance plays an important role in helping students stay connected, engaged, and successful in school. Remember to send the appropriate documentation with your child when they return following an absence. 📝🏫

Life happens, and sometimes students need to miss school. When questions or challenges come up, we want families to know that we’re here to help! Reach out to your school if you need support or have questions about attendance.

💚 Every student. Every school day. Every Day Counts!
