GBE Families... This workshop will be held both in person and virtually August 4-5 for PARENTS! This is a great opportunity to help parents of children with disabilities prepare for the school year. There will be door prizes (resources for parents to take home and use with their children). This applies to all parents of students with disabilities. The link to register is on the flyer. Please let ESE Coordinator, Laura Wesley, know if you have any questions.

I am attaching the FL DOE ESE parent survey flyer for 2025. There is a QR code in addition to a link available for you to use bit.ly/ESEParentSurvey. The state tracks our parent survey data, so it is extremely important that we get as many parents as possible to participate in the survey. As of today, we have not met our participation goal and need to increase this as soon as possible. The survey closes on June 30th.
The schools with the top three highest percentages of participation will receive an incentive that can be used for your school's ESE department:
1st Place Top Percentage Participation: $500 towards your school's ESE department needs
2nd Place Top Percentage Participation: $250 towards your school's ESE department needs
3rd Place Top Percentage Participation: $100 towards your school's ESE department needs
Thank you in advance for your prompt attention and assistance in helping us to reach our goal.

Our GBE 2025 KinderGARDEN bloomed beautifully this year!
This week our little dolphins put on a colorful performance to celebrate all the growth, learning, and love that made kindergarten so special. The KinderGARDEN Party is our way of saying “thank you for helping us grow” to all the wonderful grownups who nurtured these bright blossoms along the way. What a joyful and musical end to a blooming year! 🎶🎶🌸🌺
