We will be selling ice cream Thursday and Friday!
Our Lost & Found is full! If you know your student is missing anything, please have them look through our box in the office, or you are welcome to come search yourself. All items not picked up by May 30 will be donated. Thank you!
Thank you all for being so accommodating with Parent Pick-Up yesterday! All of our volunteers were able to get out before the line began!
We do have one more event going on in our building this afternoon. I'd like to ask Parent Pick-Up to hold off on lining up until 2:35 at the earliest.
Again, please don't line up for Parent Pick-Up until 2:35 today. Thank you so much for being flexible with our crazy end-of-the-year schedule!
Please remember to hold off on lining up for Parent Pick-Up this afternoon until after 3pm due to the extensive number of volunteer vehicles for Field Day today! Thank you!
DON'T FORGET! Tomorrow is Field Day at Ghent Elementary! Rain or shine, we're ready for a fun-filled day of activities thanks to our amazing parent volunteers! Here are a few things to keep in mind:
1) Please do not begin lining up for Parent Pick-Up until after 3:00 PM due to the amount of volunteers' cars that will be in our parking lot!
2) Send a change of clothes and towel in a plastic bag WITH YOUR CHILD'S NAME ON IT!
3) Put sunscreen on your child before they come to school. We are not allowed to put sunscreen on the students here.
4) Wear your grade level color t-shirt!

This is a reminder that according to GES policy, student water bottles are to be plastic, not metal. We realize Stanleys are all the rage right now, but they are against policy. Thank you for your cooperation.
Let's get ready to Rock the Test with a spirit week next week! Our student Lion Leaders collaborated to create this spirit week (and its flyer) to amp us up to do our best on the WV General Summative Assessment (May 7-9). While only our 3-5 grade students take the test, the whole school is invited to participate in Spirit Week! The flyer will be sent home and posted on Facebook!
‼️Dismissal is at 12:20 today! There will be NO AFTER SCHOOL CARE!‼️
If your child attends Ghent Elementary but does not live within the GES district boundaries, you MUST complete the correct form EVERY YEAR!
