Dear Great Falls ES Families,

We are writing to express our sincere gratitude for your incredible partnership and dedication to your child's education. Your support plays a vital role in our school community's success, and we are continuously grateful for the trust you place in us.

We are especially thrilled to share some wonderful news regarding our school's attendance. Thanks to your commitment to ensuring your child is in school each and every day, we have seen a significant decrease in chronic absenteeism this past month! We went from a rate of 13.2% to an impressive 8.3%.

May is a busy month!  SOL testing has started, and classes are diligently preparing for unit assessments and finalizing the grade-level content requirements. Please know that we will continue to learn through this month and the first few weeks of June, and attendance remains essential. We appreciate your support as we continue to strive to have students in school, in class, and learning.

Lastly, many families have responded to our class placement survey; thank you for your time and input on this vital task. This survey will remain open until next Friday, May 9.  After May 9, we absolutely cannot accept placement information  due to internal timelines. Thank you for your timeliness with this matter.

Thank you for helping us finish the school year strong!
Sara Harper
