GES Gazette

Dear GES Families,

I want to start this week's update by expressing my sincere gratitude to all of our families who participated in this week’s Parent-Teacher Conferences. Your support and engagement are essential in helping us create a positive and productive learning environment for all our students. Thank you for taking the time to meet with our teachers and continue to partner with us in your child’s education.

A special thank you is also in order for our Granville CSD IT Director Mr. Randles and local parent and business owner, Connor Hoagland, who generously volunteered their time to present at our 6th Grade Career Fair. Their insights and enthusiasm provided our students with valuable inspiration as they explore future career possibilities. We truly appreciate their contribution to making this event a success!

As a quick reminder, report cards will be mailed out shortly, so please be on the lookout for them in the coming days. If you have any questions or concerns after receiving your child’s report card, don’t hesitate to reach out to us—we’re here to assist you.

Warm regards,

Trishia Ten Eyck
Principal, Granville Elementary

We would like to remind all families about the importance of respectful and safe behavior on the bus.

This includes students staying seated, using quiet voices, keeping hands and feet to themselves, and following the driver’s instructions to keep everyone safe and the driver's eyes on the road.

It’s essential that our students understand the significance of allowing drivers to focus on the road.

Families can help by reminding students about the importance of bus safety. When students understand the role they play in keeping themselves and others safe, it helps create a positive and secure environment for everyone on the bus

Additionally, please remember that all transportation updates should be communicated before 11 AM to ensure smooth operations.

Please come and pick up your child's lost treasures!

The pile is growing and growing.

Did you know that students who attend school regularly are twice as likely to perform well academically compared to those who miss school frequently?

We are so proud of the efforts our students have made so far this year, and we want to keep that momentum going! Regular attendance is key to success, both in and out of the classroom.

Let’s work together to ensure our students continue to show up, stay engaged, and reach their full potential. Your support at home makes a big difference—thank you for helping us create a strong, consistent learning environment for all our students!
