It is almost time for Milestones testing at GES. We will begin testing 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders the week of April 21st. We will be testing from Monday through Thursday with makeup testing the following week. We will be sending home more information about Milestones testing as it draws near.

As we begin to wrap up the school year, we are excited about all of the spring activities we have planned. Several of our grade levels have field trips planned. Watch for that information to come home. Some dates to add to your calendar include Grow Day on May 8th, Talent Show on May 9th, Field Day on May 15th, and 2nd-5th grade field trip to Lake WInne on May 22nd. We hope you can join us for some of these events! Happy Spring!
