Dear GJM Parents/Guardians,
This Friday, Kona Ice will be on campus beginning at 1:30 p.m. You can pre-pay on line or your child can pay when they arrive. If your child is paying on-sight it is best for them to have the exact amount as that helps the lines move more quickly.
We invite all Veterans to join us for our special Veterans Day Ceremony on Friday at 8:30 AM.
Power has been restored at the campus. We thank all parents for their patience and understanding this morning. Stay safe and dry today, Mustangs!
We have been informed that there is a power outage at GJM Elementary. This is the only campus that is affected. All other campuses have power. We are working with AEP to get the power restored, at this time anticipated restoration is at 9:00 AM. To prevent interruption for parents who do not have alternate plans for morning drop off, we will still be holding classes as regularly scheduled.
✋🧼NOTES FROM THE NURSE: You can help yourself and your loved ones stay healthy by washing your hands often, especially during key times when you are likely to get and spread germs.
