We are so excited for the 2024 – 2025 school year and really enjoyed welcoming our returning and new students to G.W. Skene this week!
A few changes have been made this school year. You may hear more bells ringing as we all head outside for recess at 10:30. We have also shifted to one lunch hour this year from 12:05 – 12:45. Our dismissal bells remain the same; students will be dismissed at 3:30 Monday through Thursday and at 11:55 on Fridays.
Long Weekend
A reminder that there is no school on Monday, September 2nd. We hope you all enjoy the long weekend!
Student Safety
School drop-off and pick up are busy times at schools! Student safety is a shared responsibility and our top priority.
To ensure our students get to and from school safely, please:
- Observe school zone speed limits.
- Avoid parking in the bus zone.
- Do not use the parking lot for pick up and drop off.
- Encourage students to use crosswalks near the school to safely cross the street.
