THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! Our amazing families, unbelievable PTO, and generous community have truly showered our staff with love for Teacher Appreciation Week! Thank you for all the surprises, snacks drinks, flowers, gifts, and especially the sweet hand-written notes. We have certainly felt appreciated this week and grateful for your support!

We are looking forward to our Drama Club's production of Aladdin this week! Students will have the opportunity to see the show during school on Thursday and Friday this week. Families and community members are invited to join us for the evening production on Thursday, May 11 at 6:00 P.M. They have been hard at work for months, and we know it will be an amazing show!

Georgia Milestones (GMAS) assessments continue this week for 4th grade students. Click HERE for more information. Our students have worked very hard this year, and we are confident they will do great! 

If your child is planning to try out for the GS Gizmos LEGO League on Tuesday afternoon, please plan to pick him/her at 5:00 P.M. at the back of the school in the bus loop. Only students whose parents gave permission for them to stay after school by completing the Google form will be allowed to stay for tryouts.

Parents are welcome to come cheer for your child at this year’s Field Day festivities from 9:00 to 10:30 A.M. (See dates on calendar.) GSES Field Days will take place on the WJMS football field. Due to the number of classes who will be participating in Field Day at the same time, we ask that all spectators remain on the track or in the bleachers. NO VISITORS WILL BE ALLOWED ON THE FIELD. (We ask this for the safety of our students.) Please know that parking is extremely limited at GSES on school days, and no parking is allowed along the cut-through road between GSES and WJMS. Students must remain with their teacher during the event. If you would like to check out your child after Field Day, teachers will have sign-out sheets available at Field Day dismissal. Our staff has worked hard to plan an awesome Field Day for our students, and we appreciate your cooperation to ensure it is a safe and FUN day!

We are excited to recognize our students' many accomplishments at this year's Award's Day celebrations! Guests are welcome to join us. Please add the dates on the schedule below to your calendars. Notifications will be sent home on May 10 to families of students who will be receiving an award.

All student medications must be picked up from the clinic by 3:00 P.M. on May 23rd. All medication left in the clinic will be destroyed on May 24th. Parents may choose to pick up medication earlier than this time but would need to leave enough for the remainder of the current school year. 

Friday, May 5th was School Lunch Hero Day. This day is dedicated to the men and women who make our school cafeterias great places to be! GSES is lucky to have cafeteria team members who not only care about our students' nutritional needs but also genuinely care about them as students. Thank you for your hard work and dedication to GSES!
