Tile One Meeting Notice
On Wednesday, October 1st, we are excited to welcome families into GES for our annual Open House from 5:30–6:30 PM. This is always such a special evening where our students get to proudly share their classrooms, show off their work, and introduce their families to the teachers and staff who support them each day. It’s a wonderful opportunity to connect, celebrate learning, and strengthen the relationships that make our Eagle community so strong.

Adding to the excitement, our Scholastic Book Fair will also be open! Students and families can explore shelves full of books, discover new favorites, and maybe even spark a new love of reading together. It’s the perfect way to combine the joy of learning with the fun of choosing that “just right” book.

We look forward to seeing our families fill the halls with smiles, conversation, and pride. Open House is more than just an event, it’s a chance to build positive memories, share in the successes of our Eagles, and celebrate all the wonderful things happening at GES.

**IMPORTANT INFORMATION**
Parade Drop Off Information
Parade drop-off will begin at 6:45 PM on the GES playground. Caregivers should remain with their students until a strong staff presence is visible on the playground. In past years, some parents have chosen to walk alongside us in the parade, while others have met us at a stop closer to the end of the route. Either option works. Thank you for helping us keep the parade safe, smooth, and enjoyable for everyone.

Parade Dismissal Information
At the conclusion of the homecoming parade, students will gather at our designated dismissal area. Each grade level will stand together, clearly marked by staff holding large, visible signs. Students must remain with their grade-level group until they are checked out by a staff member. Parents should approach their child’s group to make direct contact with the supervising staff member before a student is released. For safety, students will not be allowed to leave on their own or meet parents at another location. If someone other than a parent is picking up a child, prior written permission must be provided. Staff will remain with students until all children have been dismissed.

Homecoming is NEXT WEEK, and you know what that means… it’s time to grab the glitter, duct tape, and about 400 zip ties.

We’re looking for helping hands (and strong arms ) to bring our float to life! Whether you’re a master cardboard builder, a hot-glue-gun hero, or just really good at holding things while someone else says, “a little to the left,” we need YOU.

We are so excited to welcome back Missy Croteau to the GES family! After a brief hiatus, Missy is returning and we couldn’t be happier to have her back in the halls of Groveton Elementary.

Missy is no stranger to GES. She's a familiar face with a heart of gold, known for her soft, sweet nature and her strong dedication to students. She brings with her a wealth of experience and a deep understanding of our Tier 1 programming, which means she’s ready to jump back in and hit the ground running (with kindness and calm, of course!).

Whether you know her from her previous time here or are meeting her for the first time, we know you’ll quickly see why we’re thrilled to have her back. Here's to a great year ahead filled with learning, laughter, and lots of Missy magic!

Welcome home, Missy!
