Tomorrow, around 8:00am, we will be practicing the procedures for lockdown. While this is ONLY a drill, we will not be answering phones or allowing anyone in or out of the building during this time. Thank you for helping us keep our Dragons safe!
GRES-Good evening parents! We'd like to inform you we will have a lockdown DRILL tomorrow. There will be an increase of law enforcement vehicles and we wanted you to be aware that we are just practicing our procedures in case of a real event. Please talk to your children about the importance of such drills.
Also please note that during the drill we will not answer phones or allow anyone in or out of the building.
GRES-Volunteer Orientation is tomorrow morning at 9am in the cafeteria. Please bring your license or state issued identification.
We'd like to give a huge thank you to our own, Mrs. Burrell and her husband, for providing an amazing lunch for our entire faculty and staff. Mr. Burrell was at school long before any staff arrival this morning already grilling to make sure everything was done before first lunch. He grilled ribs, chicken, and hamburgers. Everyone was filled and content. Thank you so much! We appreciate you both! ♥️

Good evening Dragon families! A few very important car line reminders...Please DO NOT get out of your car when dropping off or picking up your student. We will open the door for your child if they need help.
Also, please do not go around other cars unless instructed to do so by a member of our car line staff. If you are motioned to go around, please use extreme caution. We have noticed excessive speed and carelessness this week. Our SRO will be present to help enforce these rules and keep our dragons safe.
