The 2025 Service Personnel of the Year is Mrs. Marsha Richmond. Congratulations! We are so proud to have you as part of our team.
Just a reminder that tomorrow (Wednesday) is Spring Pictures FOR PRE-K ONLY!
Spring Pictures for K-5 will be Thursday!
There is no Pre-K on Thursday or Friday this week.
Please join us Monday evening for Night of the Arts. Student work of all types will be showcased along with great entertainment.
The Book Fair at GES is next week (March 10-14)! Students will have the opportunity to shop all week just like Santa's Workshop. The Book Fair accepts cash, cards, eWallet, and checks (made out to Ghent Elementary School).
If you would like to create an eWallet for your child to use at the Book Fair, please go to https://bookfairs.scholastic.com/bf/ghentelementaryschool to create that account.
It's time for our annual Run Club! Students in grades 3-5 may participate. Practices are 1 hour after school 1 day per week beginning the week of March 16. For exact start date and practice schedule, please download the TeamReach app. The group code is GhentRC25. There will be an end of the season race at Little Beaver!
The Book Fair and Grand Pals Day have been rescheduled! The Book Fair will run March 10-14 with Grand Pals Day on March 10. We will use the same schedule as before with K-2 Grand Pals from 9:00-10:30 and 3-5 Grand Pals from 1:00-2:30.

ATTENTION PRE-K PARENTS/GUARDIANS: If you have not done so already, please complete the WV Universal Pre-K Program Parent Survey at the following link: https://wveis.k12.wv.us/prek-parent-survey/
Thank you!
Raleigh County Schools has new and efficient way for parents and guardians to submit excuses for student absences! This form can be found on the Raleigh County Schools website or at the following link: https://app.droplet.io/form/08vMdN
You may still turn in excuses the traditional way of sending them to the office with your student, but we hope this will streamline the process! If you have any questions, please contact the office at GES.
Just a reminder that Grand Pals Day and the Book Fair DO NOT start tomorrow! As soon as we have a new date, we will send out that information. We can't wait to see everyone tomorrow!
Due to weather, Scholastic has shut down for the week and will not be delivering our Book Fair until next week. With that said, we have to postpone not only the Book Fair but Grand Pals day as well. We will update you as soon as possible! Again, Grand Pals Day and the Book Fair are postponed.
DON'T FORGET: Since we were off school today, tomorrow is the last day to turn in Grand Pals forms!
There will be NO ice cream sales tomorrow (2/14). Sales will resume next week!
Don't forget your Grand Pals forms are due Monday, February 17!
Ghent Elementary will be celebrating the 100th Day of School (hopefully) tomorrow! We also hope everyone is staying warm, and we will see you soon!

The Scholastic Book Fair is coming to GES February 24-28! We will also be having a Grand Pals Day on February 24. More information will be coming home about each event. Today, a flyer and sign-up sheet for Grand Pals Day should be coming home; however, there is an incorrect date on the flyer! Sign-Up sheets are due FEBRUARY 17!
Bus 233 cannot do Doc Miller or Daisy Trail. Students on those runs need to be picked up at school.
We will be dismissing at 12:20 this afternoon. With that said, please be patient with the dismissal process as snow banks are still making parent pick up difficult. Thank you and have a great weekend!
Parents, please remember that our parking lot/parent pick up area is much smaller due to the plowed snow. Please do not block our entrance or traffic on the main road. If you cannot enter our parking lot without blocking anything, please come back a few minutes later and try again. Thank you for your patience!
Due to technical difficulties, teachers did not receive report cards until late this afternoon. Because of this, some students might not receive their report cards today. All report cards for grades 1-5 will be coming home today or tomorrow. If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to your child's teacher.
