Due to the combination of very cold temperatures and some of the main roads being snow packed, we will have an E-Learning Day today.
Please know that these decisions are not taken lightly. All it takes is one accident on the way to school when conditions are questionable to remind us that safety must always come first. We understand the challenges that come with schedule changes, and we appreciate your flexibility and support as we prioritize the well-being of our students and staff. Stay warm, stay safe, and have a great E-Learning Day.
After watching the noon forecast and seeing that snow is predicted to start again at 4:45, we have decided to postpone our volleyball game against St. Rose. With volleyball games taking upwards of four hours to complete, it simply isn't worth the risk of driving home in the dark and bitter cold on potentially dangerous roads. The games have been rescheduled for Thursday, March 13.
The graduation meeting scheduled for 6:00 this evening has been postponed as well and will now be held on Monday, February 24, at 6:00.
Because bowling wraps up around 5:00, our plan at this time is to proceed with today's scheduled bowling match.
Thank you for understanding that these are tough decisions based on a forecast that is constantly changing.

Dear Bulldog Basketball Players,
As you step onto the court for the final time this season at the State Tournament, know that you are carrying the pride of Germantown Elementary with you. No matter the outcome, your dedication, teamwork, and heart have already made an IMPACT that will be remembered long after the final buzzer sounds.
This season has been about more than just basketball. It’s been about perseverance when the game got tough, about pushing yourselves to new limits, about lifting each other up as teammates and friends. It’s been about representing GES with character, grit, and determination, proving that Bulldogs don’t back down from a challenge.
You’ve shown younger Bulldogs what it means to work hard, stay committed, and believe in yourselves. You’ve inspired your classmates, your teachers, and your community. Most importantly, you’ve created memories and lessons that will stay with you far beyond your time at GES.
So as you take the court one last time this season, play with passion, play with heart, and play for each other. No matter the final score, you have already won in the ways that matter most. We are so incredibly proud of each and every one of you.
Sincerely,
Your Bulldog Family ❤️🖤🏀

To be able to grow as parents, teachers, coaches, or just in our overall character (wellness, communication skills, leadership skills, etc.), we need feedback. Effective leaders give constructive feedback, emphasizing the good while addressing the areas to improve. Successful fitness and nutrition coaches highlight the things you are doing well, and then look more carefully at the next changes to be made. Great teachers praise the accomplishments of their students before pointing out ways to grow.
When we receive feedback, we want to hear what we’re doing well.. We don’t want our hard work to go unnoticed. We owe it to our kids to give this same valuable feedback, where we can identify and discuss their accomplishments and look at their areas of need as well.
Here are some examples. Which are your kids more likely to actually hear?
“How did you miss these 4 questions on your math test? Are you paying attention? It looks like you rushed right through it.”
“Let’s look at this math test. You did great on the first portion. It looks like you really took your time and knew the information. What do you think happened on the back side? Did you know you were confused before the test? What could you do differently next time to be more confident when test day rolls around?”
“You need to get your head in the game. It’s like you’re not even trying out there. Your team keeps passing you the ball and you’re never where you need to be. Do you even want to win? It doesn’t look like it.”
“You looked confident in that first quarter. You were really getting in there and helping out your team. Free throws were definitely off tonight. Let’s put in some extra time practicing those this week.”
When we share the good before the bad, we are much more likely to be heard. Take some time this week to think about your feedback for your kids and look for ways to improve. The purpose is to be heard. We cannot force that. We may have to change our ways to make it happen.

After much discussion and watching the latest forecast, we have decided that for the safety of our students and staff, tomorrow will be an E-Learning Day. While getting our students and staff to school may not be an issue, getting them home could be. We want to ensure that everyone stays safe and avoids any potential dangerous situations due to changing weather conditions. The students should have brought everything they need for E-Learning home with them today. The teachers will push out information to families by 8:30 tomorrow morning and will be available to answer questions throughout the day.
We appreciate you understanding that safety is our top priority. We would rather be safe than sorry.
