GES Families,

Spring is in the air, and we are eagerly looking forward to the final quarter of the year and all the excitement it brings! As we prepare for the home stretch, please take a moment to check out the March Newsletter and note upcoming events—especially STAAR testing dates. Our goal is 100% attendance, so we kindly ask that you avoid scheduling appointments on these important days.

Parents like you make all the difference! Thank you for your support in making GES a great place to learn and grow! As always, feel free to reach out with any questions.

Buckeyes on the RISE,
