We are starting a GSD Special Education Parent Support Team and will have a meeting on Thursday, May 29 at 5:00 PM at Gervais Elementary School. Childcare and snacks will be provided. This is a great way to learn about available SPED resources in the district, ask questions, and connect with other families in the community.
Reminder that we have our GES Library Storytime this Saturday from 10:00 AM-Noon. We have some fun stories and activities about dinosaurs ready . We have a bilingual storyteller Valentina Ortiz that is so dynamic and hilarious. She will entertain and educate the entire family.
