Shiloh Elementary School

Thank you to all our families for your flexibility as the school system switched to a Digital Learning Day 9/26 and cancelled school for tomorrow 9/27 due to the weather event headed to our area. The safety and security of our students, staff, and community are very important to us. Be safe out there!

During this week, we started our School Fall Fundraiser with Boosterthon. All proceeds will go to our Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) which will work each year to support special Shiloh ES projects and give back to our school. Thank you for everyone's support.

Our second Local School Council Meeting is on Thursday 10/24 at 9:00 am at Shiloh HS. This is a great opportunity to connect with the entire cluster! I will send an invitation to parents who have previously expressed interest. If anyone else would like to be a part of the Local School Council or PTO, email me at jennifer.mercedes@gcpsk12.org.

Thank you and have a safe and relaxing weekend!
