Last Week of School Information
A few reminders as we near the end of our school year:
This Friday, June 8th is the last day of school. Students will be officially dismissed at noon, following our annual end-of-year ceremony. The ceremony is an annual tradition to close the year together, thank each other for the work we’ve done, and enter summer collectively. After the ceremony, we’ll have one last handshake line and enjoy a school-wide ice cream social!
Although we usually extend a community-wide invitation for the ceremony, we have such limited parking this year that we can’t accommodate all the family we’d like. If you do choose to attend, please park across the street in the public Bandana Square lot. Please do not park in our neighbor’s lots - help us maintain good relationships with our surrounding businesses!
MORE volunteers needed to help pack and move!
If you haven't had the chance to put in volunteer hours (or even if you have), now is the time! Your help is truly needed.
Sign up here.

Thank you for continuing to cooperate with us as we navigate the construction process and limited parking. We have had multiple reports from our neighbors to the East and South of Great River Parents driving through and or parking in their lots. We only have one week to go and we appreciate you helping us keep our neighbors happy by parking either along Energy Lane to the east and west of the school or at Bandana Square.
Thank you for your cooperation!
