Get ready, Gilliard families! Next week, May 4th–8th, is Teacher Appreciation Week—a special time set aside to celebrate and recognize the incredible dedication, passion, and hard work of our AMAZING Gilliard teachers! Our teachers go above and beyond every single day to inspire, nurture, and empower our students. They make learning come alive, encourage every child to reach their potential, and create a positive, welcoming environment for all. If you’d like to show your appreciation, we’ve provided a list of suggested gift items below to help you honor your child’s teacher in a thoughtful way. Every gesture, big or small, makes a difference and brightens a teacher’s day. Thank you so much for your support and partnership in making Gilliard Elementary such a wonderful community. Let’s make this Teacher Appreciation Week extra special for the educators who help our children grow and shine!

Parents this message is to remind you that your child is scheduled to take the ACAP State Assessment on Tuesday, March 31, 2026. It is very important that your child is present and on time for school. Breakfast will end at 8:10 a.m. We want to allow your child the opportunity to be as comfortable as possible, so because they are testing, they can dress out of uniform for 3/31 only. Siblings are not allowed to dress out. Only students who are taking the state assessment. No pajamas or jeans with holes in them are to be worn by any student. Please be sure your child gets a good night's sleep. Remember if your child is not present for testing, they will not be allowed to participate in the celebration that has been planned for the students. Should you have any questions or concerns, please call the school at (251) 221-1820.
