GES - A Great Place To Grow!
GES is a Title I School
GES is a Title I School receiving federal funds to improve instruction in math and reading.
Parents of students attending Title 1 schools may request information about the professional

* Any college or university degree or certification held.
* The subject area of the teacher's degree or certification.
* Whether the teacher is certified by the State of Maryland to teach a grade level or subject area.
* Whether the teacher holds a provisional certificate.
* Whether the child is served by paraprofessionals and, if so, parents may request their professional qualifications.
Meet the Teacher Event!!!
Car Rider Drop Off Time is 8:45AM this year.
Students may not be dropped off before 8:45AM. This is five minutes later than last year as we are going to back to our pre-Covid schedule which allows teachers their contractual 15 minutes of preparation time each morning before students enter the building.
The only exception to this is students who arrive on the Bus 6 first shuttle. Those students will be brought into the building in order for Bus 6 to complete the second bus run and return to school before the start of the student day at 9AM.
If you would like to pick your child up from school everyday, please contact Cindy Patrick in the front office to receive information on adding your child to the PM car rider line.
