Mr. Harris' Thoughts
GES Families,
There are so many questions and information to share at this time of year! I will do my best to send things home proactively, but if there is ever a question you have, please call the office and we can direct you to the best person to answer your question.
Thank you!

Principal - Greenville Elementary School
GES Behavior Tier 1
We take time each day to explicitly teach behaviors at school in all of the environments - playground, cafeteria, classroom, bus, bathroom, etc... Our 3 pillars of behavior are Be Respectful, Be Responsible, and Be Safe. All of our teaching will focus on the 3 pillars. Below are the resources we use at tier 1 for instruction. Please look for your child to be using the language of these skills at home!

GES Open House - Arrival Times
GES open house is on Wednesday August 28 from 3:45-5:45. This is a VERY busy time here at school and we would like to welcome you with the following schedule...
Family Last names "A-L" please come from 3:45-4:45.
Family Last names "M-Z" please come from 4:45-5:45.
This will help alleviate some of the traffic and it will help you get some 1 on 1 time with you child's new teacher. It will also help with your planning if you have children at multiple schools.
