Students in grades 2nd through 5th will be taking ACAP Practice Test #2 beginning January 15th - January 22nd. It is crucial for students to arrive at school on time each day during this testing period. This practice test will provide valuable insights into how students might perform on the actual test scheduled for March. To encourage and motivate students, an incentive field trip has been planned for those who attend school and put forth their best effort on the test. Please note that students who are not present for the test will not be eligible to participate in the incentive field trip, which will be provided at no cost to the students.
Parents, we ask for your support by ensuring that your child gets a good night's rest before each test day. Your child’s teacher will be in touch with specific details about the testing schedule. We appreciate your cooperation and thank you in advance for helping us make this testing period a success.

Good afternoon. As the Christmas Break approaches, we are excited to kick off a festive season at Gilliard Elementary School. To celebrate the upcoming holiday, we are inviting both staff and students to join in our "Deck the Halls with School Spirit" event. From December 8th to 19th, everyone is encouraged to dress up according to the fun and creative themes outlined in the attached flyers. This initiative aims to foster a joyful and inclusive atmosphere as we wind down the school term. We hope to see everyone who wishes to participate showing their school spirit and taking part in the festivities.
It's important to note that while we encourage participation, maintaining a respectful and orderly environment is a priority. Therefore, any student demonstrating inappropriate behavior will be asked to revert to wearing the standard school uniform. Please refer to the attached flyer for detailed information on the themed days. Let's make these next two weeks before the Holiday Break memorable and enjoyable for all. Thank you for your cooperation and enthusiasm!
