For the 2nd year in a row, basic school supplies will be provided for our students in grades K-12 by St. Landry Parish School Board. Please note: Any additional supplies needed can be found on school websites and/or will be communicated by your child's school.

There is no need for parents to report to campus to get children at this time. We will send further updates as we receive them from Law Enforcement Officials.

Good Afternoon GCES! Ms. Melissa Boudreaux is using a loaner bus while her original bus is being fixed. This bus has a smaller capacity, therefore she will slightly alter her route and run two loads. In the afternoons, the first load will be students who reside on Bellemin St. and Crepe Myrtle Ln. Those same students will be the second load in the mornings. We apologize in advance for the inconvenience.
