• Breakfast is served at GES from 7:30 am - 7:50 am. Breakfast is available for all students.

• The school day starts promptly. The first school bell rings at 7:50 AM, and students should be in their classrooms ready to learn by 7:55 AM, or they will be marked late. (If they are late, they can receive a grab-n-go breakfast.)

• Chorus is on Thursdays and begins at 7:30 AM, and breakfast is provided. Contact Mr. Tuttle if you need more information: btuttle@granvillecsd.org

• Transportation Changes - All transportation changes for afternoons must be communicated by 10:00 am to the GES Main Office: rheath@granvillecsd.org

• Notes on Lunches: We kindly ask that you send your student with a lunch that does not require microwaving. Unfortunately, we are not equipped to microwave lunches for all students, and it can cause significant delays. We appreciate your cooperation in helping us make lunch a smooth process for everyone.

Please help us keep our pick-up line safe.

When picking up or dropping off, students should only exit and enter vehicles on the passenger side.

Having children walk around cars is dangerous, so please ensure they use the curb side.

Thank you for putting safety first.

At GES, we believe in supporting every student's learning journey.

If your child is receiving Academic Intervention Services (AIS), it's because we're committed to helping them succeed.

AIS provides additional instruction to students who need extra support in subjects like English Language Arts and Mathematics.

These services are designed to help students meet grade-level learning standards and are tailored to each child's unique needs.

For more detailed information, please refer to the AIS slideshow linked below:

Did you know...

Missing just TWO days a month adds up to over THREE weeks of lost learning in a school year!

We are so proud of our GES students in grades 3 - 6 who are showing up on time, every day - it makes a big difference!

Thank you, families, for helping your child start each day strong by getting to school on time.

Send your student in each day, 10-15 minutes early, for a free breakfast to fuel up for the day!

No registration required.
