Hello Grassy Creek Families!

We are in the midst of Riley Week which is our service learning project for the month. Students and staff learn about the great work of Riley Hospital for Children and raise funds to help them continue the important work that is being done. Students and staff finish the week with a Rock Paper Scissors tournament on Friday afternoon.

Our second and third graders will take the IRead test next week. Our third grades will test March 7 and 8; our second graders will test March 9 and 10. If students are absent, make-ups will occur the week of March 13.

Our two-week spring break begins after school on Friday, March 17. Students and staff return to school on Monday, April 3.

The end of the third quarter is Friday, March 10. Report cards will be available for view on ParentVue on Friday, March 17.

Registration for the 2023-2024 school year is now open. We need ALL families to register their students annually. This allows for families to update information in our Synergy system. This link will take you to the registration site.

Thanks for your support!

Mrs. Lake and Mrs. Gross

To improve traffic flow during arrival and dismissal at GCES, we would like families of GCES students to enter school grounds off of Worthsville Road onto Palmore Way (first entrance to CPMS.) Then take your first left before the tennis courts (turn left/west). Continue on the access road to the end of the sidewalk on the north side adjacent to door 8.. Staff members will walk out door 8 to welcome students into the building at 8:50. We will no longer use the front of the building for drop off. Cars should continue on straight to exit the lot.

Clark-Pleasant Early Learning Center is a part of GCES, and their arrival time is 8:45. These families will enter off Sheek Road and line up fro drop off in the front of the building. (Early Learning Center car rider information)

If students arrive after 9:05 a.m., an adult will need to park and sign their student in at the front office.

Car rider families should enter the same way for afternoon car rider pick up, but stop at the corner that leads to the front drive. A staff member will come out at approximately 3:50 to dismiss students. Students will exit out of door 4. Cars should pull up to the flag pole once dismissal begins.

If your student goes to childcare after school that is not within our GCES boundary, you must register your child for a car rider number as these daycare locations pick up our students in our car rider line. Please stop by the front office to register your child.

If your student attends a daycare that is within our GCES boundary, you will need to complete an "alternate bus stop" form in order for your child to be dropped off at the correct stop. You can access that form here or contact our transportation office at 317-535-7255.
