Dear Falling Waters Families,
Thank you to everyone for your support in ensuring our Valentines Day parties were a success! I saw many smiles through bingo, cookie decorating, building using candy, and more!
I'd also like to thank you all for your kind words and support as I transition into the next chapter of my professional career. Mr. Lightle, our Superintendent, and I are working closely together ensure the Falling Waters community is positively supported. With that, I won't be far away - I am a Gretna mom and my sister-in-law lives in Falling Waters. 😀
Lastly, just a reminder that there is no school this coming Monday, February 19th and no school for current kindergarteners only on round up day, February 23rd.
Have a great weekend!

Parents are able to access their child's lunch account online. Visit our Food & Nutrition Services website here. Accounts and payment information can be found here.
If you should have any questions regarding your child’s lunch account, please feel free to contact our lunch paraprofessional, Mrs. Kelly Leahy at 402-332-3938 or kleahy@gpsne.org.
Students are welcome to celebrate their birthdays at school! Please be sure treats are store bought. Check with your child's teacher if they are a nut-free classroom.
To help your child's birthday celebration run smoothly, please send the treats with your child to school in the morning.
Guests are welcome to join us at lunch. There will be special "Guest" tables set up in the lunchroom for you and your child to eat. Your child will not be allowed to invite another student to eat with them at the guest table.
We do ask that you limit lunch visits to birthdays only until after Labor Day to allow for us to teach expectations and help students learn the routines and procedures. Thank you for your help and understanding.
Meal Benefit Applications are available by clicking here.
