All St. Landry Parish Public schools will have an early dismissal on Wednesday, September 13, 2023, to facilitate professional learning opportunities. Please be attentive to communication from your child's school, as they will provide you with the precise dismissal times. These times may vary slightly from school to school. If your child typically rides the bus, please ensure someone is available at home to receive them upon their early return. If your child is a car rider, please adhere to the specific car rider dismissal time communicated by the school to ensure a smooth pick-up process. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.
This morning we had PBIS Kickoff during Morning Meetings. Students revisited the PBIS Schoolwide Expectations by viewing and discussing this video. We are so proud of the Synergy that is taking place on our campus.

Good afternoon GCES. We are currently experiencing internet outages. This means that our phone lines are also down. This may have affected teacher timelines to prepare information to send home. We thank you in advance for your patience.
The first two days of school were amazing. The students and staff utilized the days to begin forming positive relationships, establish classroom routines and procedures, and to get students acclimated with the campus.
GCES Staff had a powerful and uplifting two days of Professional Development. One of the highlights was the staff drafting or reconnecting to their "WHY", the reason they became and remain an educator. We're are looking forward to a great year!!!
Today we introduce our 3rd and 4th-grade teams.
3rd Grade: Ms. Brown, Mrs. Cormier, and Ms. Jackson
4th Grade: Mr. Leatherman, Mrs. Simon, and Ms. Viator
