Ghent Elementary

Bus 97 has left the school!

Bus 97 is having some issues. The garage has sent a new bus to pick up the students. Students are still at the school. Please be patient as we await the arrival of the new bus. I will update when the bus leaves the school.

Please take note: There will be no Pre-K on Friday, 9/15.

It's GAME DAY! Come support our Lions tonight for our first Home Game against the Coal City Indians! Volleyball starts at 6, and Basketball starts at 7. LET'S GO LIONS!

Get ready to say, "CHEESE!" School Picture Day is Thursday, September 7!

Attendance Tip: Please remember to send in excuses when your child is absent from school. Parents are able to send in 5 parent notes per semester. These notes are for 5 individual dates of absences. If a student misses 3 days in a row, sending in a parent note for those dates counts as 3 parent notes, not just 1. If you have any questions, please contact the office.

Regarding Before & After School Care: Beginning tomorrow (Tuesday, 8/29), Before School Care will be held in the gym. Please drop your students off at the first set of gym doors. After School Care will be in Ms. Hypes or Mrs. Hatcher's classroom. Please pick up your students at the double doors around the back of the school. There will be a sign on the door to indicate where to pick up your child. To register your child for Before and/or After School Care, visit https://www.ymcaswv.com/programs/56/afterschool-program/?locations=13

Just a reminder that sports tryouts for 3-5 graders begin tomorrow, August 25! All students who wish to tryout for volleyball, basketball, or cheerleading MUST have a sports physical dated after June 30 in order to participate. Sports tryout registration forms were given out at Open House and students have the opportunity to bring one home this afternoon. Please contact the office if you have any further questions.

Drop in on Friday, August 18, between 5-7pm for Open House at Ghent Elementary! We can't wait to see you!
