Kindergarten Registration is now open for 2024-25 NEW to the district kindergarten students.
If you live in the Germantown Elementary School boundaries, have a child that will be 5 years old by September 1, 2024, and is NOT currently in the Germantown Elementary School Pre-K or TK Programs, please email dkehder@ges60.org or call (618)523-4253, so we can get your child added to the roster and provide you with the information needed to complete the registration process.
We already have contact information for families with children that attend our PreK and TK Programs, so there is no need for these families to reach out to us.
Ms. Mense was busy today delivering knowledge, joy, and a sprinkle of playfulness to the TK classroom.
You're never too old to have a little fun. Embrace the playfulness within.
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 3.75-4.0 earn a place on High Honor Roll while students with a GPA between 3.5-3.74 are designated as Honor Roll recipients.
It is our pleasure to recognize the 2nd Quarter Honor Roll recipients. This honor is a direct result of hard work and dedication.

Why PreK?
Preparing children for school: Early childhood education helps children develop the skills and knowledge they need to be successful in school.
Improving cognitive development: Studies have shown that early childhood education leads to improved cognitive development in areas such as language, math, and problem-solving.
Enhancing social and emotional development: Early childhood education helps children develop important social and emotional skills, such as the ability to form positive relationships and to regulate their emotions.
Long-term benefits: The benefits of early childhood education can be long-lasting, leading to improved academic and life outcomes later in life.
Grow, explore, and discover with us.
