🎈 Our Guntersville Elementary PTO knocked it out of the park this morning!

The 2024-2025 school year is off to a great start!

We can’t wait to see our kiddos today!

☀️ 📝 🍎

The sun has risen on the 2024-2025 school year!

Our administration, faculty, staff and campuses are ready for the best school year yet! We look forward to seeing all of our students today!

🔉Wednesday, August 7th is the first day of school!

Front car line drop off will begin at 7:00 am for K-2 students and the back carline drop off for PreK students will begin at 7:30. Please do not drop off PreK students before 7:30 as we have to unload our buses in the back before walking them into their classroom. The buses travel to all other school after they drop at GES and they have a tight schedule to make sure everyone arrives safely and on time. Parents of GES may walk their child into the school on the first day only.

Please be mindful when parking so you don’t block anyone. It is a special day to get them off to a great start and to say a quick goodbye. We will have over 400 students being dropped off so please be patient and considerate of others.

Here are some student drop off and pick up tips for the year. We are looking forward to a great school year!

🍎 That's a wrap on Meet the Teacher! Our teachers were so excited to see all of our students today and we can't wait to kick off the school year on Wednesday!

Congratulations to the Class of 2037 for graduating Pre-K today!

We enjoyed celebrating you and the fantastic year that you’ve had. We can’t wait to welcome you back to start Kindergarten in a few short months!

A huge thank you to each and every volunteer for helping us make our outdoor classroom come to life! We sure have come a long way in less than two weeks! Phase 1 only lacks a few details to be complete. We already have a blue-tailed skink lizard living in our frog and toad habitat!

Below is a message from our Guntersville Elementary PTO:

After rain delays and three work days, we urgently need help finishing up the GES Outdoor Classroom tomorrow, May 16. Work will be taking place between 7:30 am - 2:30 pm, and feel free to help out any amount of time you can spare. No special skill sets required--just a willingness to help.

Thank you for your help enriching our kids!

These GES students worked hard all year and made it into the mile club! Kindergarten had to run 15 miles, first grade 20 miles and second grade 25 miles. We’re so proud of all their hard work!

Thank you to our Guntersville Elementary PTO for the t-shirts.

Exciting update! Our outdoor classroom construction is nearly finished! Huge thanks to all the volunteers and community partners who dedicated their time and effort to make this project a reality. Together, we're creating a space for inspiring learning experiences outdoors!

Build Day for the Outdoor Classroom has been postponed until Monday, May 13th. If you signed up, thank you and we hope to see you Monday.

If you couldn’t make it today but can on Monday, please join us!

Prep Day for the outdoor classroom is a wrap! Thank you Mr. Smith and Guntersville High School FFA Members for your help today along with the rest of our awesome volunteers! We will work tomorrow rain or shine as long as there is no lightning. See you there!
