It is the mission of Germantown Elementary School District #60 to educate all children to the best of their abilities through the cooperation of school, home, and community. The District, in an active partnership with parents and community, promotes excellence in a caring environment in which all students learn and grow. Through this partnership we hope to empower all students to develop a strong self-esteem and to become responsible learners and decision-makers. Attainment of our mission is determined by student academic achievement, social development and positive attitude toward learning.
The Honor Roll program at Germantown Elementary School District #60 recognizes the academic achievement of all fifth through eighth grade students. Students with a grade point average between 3.76-4.0 earn a place on High Honor Roll while students with a GPA between 3.5-3.75 are designated as Honor Roll recipients.
It is our pleasure to recognize the 3rd Quarter Honor Roll recipients. This honor is a direct result of hard work and dedication.
Help us celebrate Avery S., Cody S., and Peyton H., 6th graders at GES. These students have grown every quarter on the STAR test taken in ELA class. Whether they grew one month or one year, the effort is applauded. Specific areas of growth include comprehension, word recognition, vocabulary knowledge, and fluency. Every quarter these students made progress in these categories. It’s not a race….it’s a marathon. Congratulations!
Ms. Rutz and her first grade students send a heartfelt thank you to everyone who took the time to send Valentine cards for their "Valentine's Around the World" project. They received over 65 Valentines from 25 states and 8 countries. The students had so much fun learning about different places and cultures.

The GES #60 Raise the Roof Campaign is an ambitious endeavor that seeks to construct a new gymnasium, a space that will serve as a sanctuary for physical development, teamwork, and personal growth. As our school district expands, so do the needs of our students. With an increasing enrollment, our current gymnasium is bursting at the seams, unable to accommodate the growing demand for athletic programs, physical education classes, and extracurricular activities.
The vision for this project is not merely about erecting brick and mortar; it is about investing in the future of our children. A modern and spacious gym will provide them with the resources and opportunities they deserve, nurturing their physical wellness alongside their academic achievements. It will foster a sense of community, bringing together students, faculty, and families in a shared pursuit of health, fitness, and camaraderie.
To turn this vision into a reality, we face a critical challenge - a funding gap of $750,000. But we firmly believe that within our united community lies the power to overcome any obstacle. Together, we can raise the roof, quite literally, and create a space where our students can reach new heights, discover their potential, and forge lifelong bonds of friendship. We invite you to join us on this extraordinary journey of transformation. Your support, whether it be through generous donations, volunteer efforts, or spreading the word, will make an indelible impact on the lives of countless students for years to come. Together, let us build strong minds and strong bodies, empowering the leaders of tomorrow and strengthening the foundation of our community.
A Capital Campaign Committee was established in August to help us in our efforts to fill the funding gap. Through the committee’s hard work over the course of the past seven months, we have put together an event called the Raise the Roof Rock Fest.
We hope you will join us for the Raise the Roof Rock Fest on Saturday, September 21, where afternoon will fade to night as 5 different bands will rock out on two stages. Rock under the stars by fueling up with expertly crafted eats from a huge variety of food trucks, and ICE cold refreshments. Enjoy our small town park atmosphere with general admission, or upgrade to VIP passes to get up close to the action on the stage. For the ultimate experience, reserve a table close to the stage with access to a private concession stand tent and dedicated restrooms. Whatever option you choose, you are sure to enjoy our small town with BIG sound!
Full lineup and event information will be available on April 9th.
All proceeds will be allocated to the "Raise The Roof" campaign for GES District 60

Today we celebrate Griffen. Griffen is the recipient of the 2024 Illinois Principal Association Leadership Award. One student from each member school of the IPA can be nominated for this prestigious honor.
