Gilliard Elementary School

CONGRATULATIONS to our IXL Leaders for the week of 11/17 - 11/21. You have earned a FREE ice cream ticket and the top 3 students have earned their spot at the table to eat Pizza and Wings with the administrators. Keep up the great work!

Good afternoon. I hope this message finds you well. Due to the students' behavior this week, H.O.T. Tickets were not given out to any students. All students are to be dressed in uniform tomorrow. Thank you!

We are EXCITED to announce that we were able to maintain our State Report Card Score of an 86. Many of you may not understand how hard that is for a school our size, but this is a HUGE ACCOMPLISHMENT for the entire staff and student body. Parents, THANK YOU to each of you who made your child's attendance a priority last year, as our chronic absenteeism improved as well. Now the question is, Will you band with us to take Gilliard to the next level? Together, we can accomplish ANYTHING. Thank you for all of your prayers and support. WE ARE GILLIARD!! #AchievingExcellenceTogether
