26-27 School Supplies Kits on Sale NOW
Want to press the EASY button on school supplies for next year?! Click here to purchase your student(s) supply kit for the 2026/27 school year.
To keep our classrooms clutter-free and hallways safe, backpacks are stored in lockers and are not carried to individual classes. To ensure the security of personal items, all students will require a combination lock for their assigned locker. For our incoming 6th graders, a lock is already included in your school supply kit; for our 7th and 8th graders, locks are available as a simple add-on to your supply order.
To help students transition and keep their essentials handy, we are excited to introduce the Optional Zipper Binder. This all-in-one solution is designed to be carried from class to class, neatly housing notebooks, pencil cases, and even school-issued Chromebooks. Students may also carry a small bag to their classes - this must be 11in x 14in or smaller.

Field Day will be on Friday, May 22nd this year and we need your help! Please sign up below if you would like to volunteer to run a station during your child's field day time.

All 3-5th grade classes will have their field day from 9:20-11:20am and all K-2nd grade classes will have their field day from 1:00-3:00pm.

Polling at GRE
GRE is a new polling location for this upcoming election on May 5. We’ve been working with the Union County Board of Elections, District safety coordinators, and District operations to create a plan that we feel confident will cause minimal impact to our school day.
Student and staff safety continues to be our main priority and has been in the forefront of our planning. The voting will be in the gym and the public will be restricted from other areas within the school. As an additional safety measure, a Dublin police officer will remain on site for the duration of the school day along with frequent check ins from our district safety coordinators.
A Helpful Tip: If you are planning to vote at GRE, please be mindful of bus zones and student drop-off/pick-up traffic during the morning (approx. 8:50-9:15 AM) and afternoon (approx. 3:30- 3:50 PM).
