Dear Families, 

Thank you for all of your help and support at our Halloween parties and parade!  The students had a fantastic time.  Our librarian captured some sweet moments on our camera that I have shared below.  

Next Thursday our 4th graders will be presenting their Veteran's Day music program.  To those of you who have served in the armed forces and for your families, we thank you for your service and sacrifice to protect our country.  Happy Veteran's Day and Thank You!

We hope you have a fabulous weekend and don't forget to move those clocks back an hour! 

-Dr. H

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.
