Unfortunately, Old Man Winter decided to make a sneak attack at just the wrong time. As a result, we have a thin layer of mixed precipitation covering the roads with more forecast to fall through the 9:00 hour. As a result of the questionable road conditions, today has been declared a Snow Day. This will be a traditional Snow Day. Due to only having 24 hours notice on this weather system, we simply did not have enough time to prepare for an E-Learning Day.
Good evening Bulldog Country
With a lack of sunshine and temperatures hovering around 20 degrees all day today, the country roads are still largely ice covered. Considering our buses travel these roads for a majority of their routes, we simply cannot risk it. As a result Tuesday, January 31, has been declared a Traditional Snow Day at GES. Stay safe Bulldog Country.

While Mother Nature has yet to start churning out winter precipitation, the current forecast combined with the desire to give parents some time to plan, has resulted in tomorrow being declared a Snow Day. While we will NOT have in person learning tomorrow, we will have an E-Learning Day.
Parents are asked to check their email for more information.

Once again this year, the Clinton County Electric Cooperative, Inc. served as a sponsor for the Touchstone Energy Cooperative Classroom Empowerment Grants.

The grant recipients are grateful for the funds which will allow them to purchase items that will benefit our Bulldog students.
