 From our GES Principal
Ms. Kris Vecchione

Good evening, this is Kris Vecchione, principal of Guilford Elementary, calling with a few important announcements for the week of April 21st.
Spring Break Update: Just a reminder, we  return to school tomorrow, Monday, April 21st. We look forward to seeing you!
Kindergarten &
5th Grade Pictures:
 Graduation Smilestone pictures for Kindergarten and 5th grade students will be on Thursday, April 24th. These pictures are PRE-PAID so please be sure to send in the picture form and money on THURSDAY if you want to purchase the Graduation Smilestone pictures.
 End of Year Goals for Instruction: *We are coming up on the end of our school year very quickly! As we mentioned before, we want to protect instructional time as much as possible for the sake of our students' learning. Let's stick to our Springtime goals and have students IN the building by 7:40 so they are ready to start their day! End of Year Goals for Assessments:  *Also, Final Grade Level Assessments will be coming soon and we want all students to do their best. Since their scores remain a part of their official records, we want their assessments to truly reflect all of the growth that they have made! Please continue to encourage your child to read, and discuss their reading, every  chance that they get.
Please encourage your child to consistently practice needed skills outlined by the third quarter teacher's conference.
Book Fair Opening: The theme for this Spring's Book Fair is "Fiesta!" Our Book Fair will open next Monday, April 28th and will run through Friday, May 2nd. We look forward to seeing you there!
