Tiger Families
Week of August 26th
Welcome back!
It was so great to see so many of you on Friday at Orientation or Sneak-a-Peek. We are all excited to see everyone back on Monday (PreK does not start until Thursday).
Backpacks and Supplies
We still have several backpacks with supplies. Please email yesenia_portillo@hcpss.org
Arrival and Dismissal
Remember the doors open at 9:10 am and dismissal begins at 3:55 pm.
If you have not already told your child's homeroom teacher how your child is getting home, please send in a note or email them. It is important that we know how your child is getting home by 12:00 pm on Monday to avoid any confusion. If you do not know who your child's teacher is, please email the grade level team leader. Use the link below to access the GES staff list.
Breakfast and Lunch
Breakfast and Lunch are free for all Guilford Elementary students.
Breakfast is served 9:10 - 9:25 am
Lunch is served at various times (depends on grade level) from 11:00 - 2:30 pm
Join the PTA!!!
Front Office
Our full time front office secretary resigned two weeks ago. We have the job vacancy posted and hope to hire someone soon. In the interim, please be kind and patient, as we have a part time secretary to assist with registration. Mrs. Hines, Principal's Secretary, will assist as best as she can but she still has the responsibilities of her job.
If you have not registered for school, please stop by this week. Once school starts, the process will take longer.
Want to work at Guilford ES?
We are looking for 2 substitute teachers who want to work at Guilford ES every day. You must be comfortable working with all students at GES as you could be covering a Kindergarten class, P.E. class, 4th grade class, etc.
We are also looking for a Student Support Paraeducator. This is a permanent position.
These are great opportunities for someone who wants to be off when their child is off. See the job posting attached below. If you are interested in becoming a daily substitute or paraeducator at GES, please email Mr. Carter at Howard_Carter@hcpss.org
Looking for before and after care?
Families have been calling to ask if we know of any childcare options for before and after care. Below are links to places that have been shared with us. We are not affiliated with any of these programs, nor are we endorsing their quality. I'm sharing because we are short staffed in the front office.
