Front Office Front Office

Our full time front office secretary resigned two weeks ago. We have the job vacancy posted and hope to hire someone soon. In the interim, please be kind and patient, as we have a part time secretary to assist with registration. Mrs. Hines, Principal's Secretary, will assist as best as she can but she still has the responsibilities of her job.


If you have not registered for school, please stop by this week. Once school starts, the process will take longer.

Want to work at Guilford ES? Want to work at Guilford ES?

We are looking for 2 substitute teachers who want to work at Guilford ES every day. You must be comfortable working with all students at GES as you could be covering a Kindergarten class, P.E. class, 4th grade class, etc.


We are also looking for a Student Support Paraeducator. This is a permanent position.


These are great opportunities for someone who wants to be off when their child is off. See the job posting attached below. If you are interested in becoming a daily substitute or paraeducator at GES, please email Mr. Carter at Howard_Carter@hcpss.org

Looking for before and after care? Looking for before and after care?

Families have been calling to ask if we know of any childcare options for before and after care. Below are links to places that have been shared with us. We are not affiliated with any of these programs, nor are we endorsing their quality. I'm sharing because we are short staffed in the front office.
