Dear Families,
We had a great time visiting with you about your student(s) at our Parent/Teacher conferences this week! During your conference, your child's teacher had shared progress reports, and these will be posted and available online.
Thank you to the PTO and the Rethwisch family for the delicious conference meals! Our staff enjoyed everything! We are very lucky to have such supportive families.
Lastly, just as a reminder- we are approaching chilly weather. Be sure to check the forecast and sending coats, hats, and mittens. If possible, labeling these items with your child's name will help us out in the Lost and Found.
Remember, there is no school tomorrow, Friday, October 13th. Have a safe and fun LONG weekend!
-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.
Meal Benefit Applications are available by clicking here.
Be sure to check out our Printable Flyers website.
