Such great work!
Yesterday, our soccer team played their first match against Deep Run. It was a close game and Deep Run came out on top 5-4. We are looking forward to next week's game.
Battle of the Books was Friday night and our teams did awesome. Thank you to all of our coaches for providing this opportunity and for our students hard work.
Did you see the amazing art work displayed at the mall? Our students are amazing and everyone gets to see that. Great job!

Dear Parents and Guardians,
As you may know, Guilford Elementary (GES) is a Schoolwide Title I School. Family engagement is an important part of Title I. GES and Howard County Public Schools (HCPSS) value your input and partnership in supporting the academic success of your child. Please take a few minutes to complete this survey regarding school improvement, climate, and family engagement. This will be used to evaluate our Title I program so that we can better serve you. Your responses will be kept strictly confidential. Please complete the online survey by May 14th.
DIRECTIONS: Please read each statement or question carefully, decide which response best matches your point of view, click the circle for that choice and offer feedback when appropriate.
