Attention 5th grade parents:
The July 1, 2006, change in the tetanus, diphtheria, acelluar pertussis (Tdap) immunization requirement will impact each year’s rising sixth graders. Sixth grade students must have the Tdap immunization in order to enter school. It is imperative that efforts begin now to ensure that no rising sixth grader is excluded from school at the start of the 2009-10 school year because of a Tdap immunization deficiency.

Newsletters go electronic....
Beginning in January 2009, GFES started using electronic notifications to send out the school and PTA newsletters. Newsletters will be sent via "Keep In Touch" (KIT). This is the same system FCPS uses to communicate emergency messages such as cancellations, delayed openings, and early closings. Please make sure you are signed up for Keep In Touch so you don't miss any important information.
