The Lions' Pride

For the safety of our students and staff, we are making an important change to our morning arrival procedures. From 7:45–8:05 a.m., no vehicles will be permitted to enter the main parking lot from Schillingwood Dr. or Helmbright Dr. unless you have a valid handicap tag or a pass issued by Lincoln.

All other families should use the car loop. If you arrive and find the car loop doors locked, please continue through the loop, park in the main lot, and walk your child into the building to sign them in.

Thank you for helping us keep all students safe!

As a reminder, the week of March 31 is SPRING BREAK for all GJPS schools. We will welcome students back to the building on Monday, April 7. I hope you are able to have a wonderful break with family and friends.

All 3rd, 4th and 5th graders will take part in the OST this year. Please see the schedule below and try not to make any appointments or schedule vacations during these dates. Please reach out to your child's teacher, if you have any questions.

Just a reminder from our Student Handbook:

"CELL PHONES & SMART WATCHES

Cell phones are permitted at school, but must remain off and in the student’s book bags throughout the school day. Smart watches are also permitted, but should only be used as a clock while at school. Students are not permitted to send or receive text messages or phone calls on cell phones or smart watches during the day. Additionally, photos may not be taken with cell phones or smart watches at school. On state testing days, smart watches are not permitted to be worn. If a parent/guardian needs to reach their student during the school day, they should call the school office at 614-478-5555. The school is not responsible for cell phones or smart watches that are lost, stolen, or damaged."

Thank you for your help and understanding.

We would love to have volunteers in the building! Please look through this spreadsheet and see if you are interested in helping in anyway. Please sign up on the spreadsheet here
