Today is our "G Day" at Platte-Geddes Elementary. G is for "Go Green" but also, G is for "Good News". Brockston Holleman and Regg Meyerink were nominated for the Good News Call by our STEAM teacher, Mrs. Lacee Mills. The boys went out of their way to clean up in the STEAM room without being asked. They saw a mess and stayed after class to finish cleaning up all the extra little paper scraps on the floor. No one asked them to help, they just saw a job that needed to be done and they completed the task. This is a huge help to all of us here at school! Thank you Brockston and Regg for being great kiddos!

Greetings Platte Geddes Elementary Parents,
We are pleased to announce that we will once again be offering "Summer School" for any child in grades K-5 through our CARES Act or Covid 19 Relief resources. We are accepting student referrals from teachers and from parents. We will once again offer these classes in Platte (at the school) and in Geddes. If you would like your child to receive one-one or small group summer services, please reply to this email letting me know or call me at the school. If your child is enrolled in Title I services, they will automatically be referred through our Title I program.
Once we receive all student referrals, we will match the students with a summer school teacher, and those teachers will contact parents to set up a schedule. Our services will run from Tuesday, June 1 through Friday, August 5. Each teacher will set their schedule with you; allowing them as teachers and you as parents to set a schedule that works for both of you.
Last summer we were able to provide summer services to more than 85 Platte Geddes Elementary Students! I have heard positive feedback from many parents and teachers regarding the benefit of these summer services for our students. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions about our summer school program.
Thank you,
Jennifer Knecht
Elementary Principal/SPED Director
Platte-Geddes School District
