Grand Coteau Elementary

Good Afternoon GCES! This is a reminder that tomorrow we will have a staggered start. Only students who have even-numbered addresses should attend school. Students with odd-numbered addresses will attend on Friday. Unfortunately we were notified that there is no driver for Bus 258. The district is looking to fill this position. This means that parents of students assigned to Bus 258 will have to bring their children to and from school. We sincerely apologize for this inconvenience.

We are so excited that we were able to welcome our Blue Jays back to campus tonight for Meet and Greet. Thanks to our amazing staff for all of your preparations. We would also like to thank all of the families who attended.

GCES Staff members are preparing to welcome our students back to school. As a part of our PD, teams collaborated to form collective resumes. Through this activity we were able to begin building trusting relationships and celebrate the talents and skills of all team members.

GCES is inviting members of the Arnaudville and Grand Coteau community to welcome our children back to school.

Good Afternoon. Grand Coteau Elementary is still looking for a few individuals to join our team. Please contact Mr. Singleton if interested.

The start of school is right around the corner! Students in Cohort A will begin August 11th, students in Cohort B will report on August 12th, and all students will return on August 15th. Schools will inform you of your child's cohort. We are anxiously awaiting your return!

For the 2nd year in a row, basic school supplies will be provided for our students in grades K-12 by St. Landry Parish School Board. Please note: Any additional supplies needed can be found on school websites and/or will be communicated by your child's school.

Good Morning GCES! We will have a Back to School Meet and Greet on Tuesday, August 9 from 4:00-5:30. During this time, students and parents can meet the teachers and drop off supplies. Students are also encouraged to pay $35 registration fees ($15 school fee, $20 technology fee) and bring current proof of residency.

GPE faculty and staff are well on their way to becoming a Leader in Me School. They are learning all about the 7 Habits. Special thanks to District Coaches Chamir Murphy, Tiffany Perry, Brandon Singleton, GPE Principal Renee Suire, and Becky Kreamer, United Way of Acadiana.  

Grand Coteau Elementary would like to welcome Ms. Claire Landry to our family as the Assistant Principal. I look forward to working with the parents and students of Grand Coteau and Arnaudville areas. I am a dedicated and resourceful educator and leader, who strives to assist students in achieving and making success, supports colleagues and administration in facilitating each child's social and intellectual growth by creating an atmosphere of mutual respect, and open communication with all stakeholders. I am so excited to return to my home town of Grand Coteau, which I am a product of. Claire Nicole Landry Assistant Principal

Good Morning GCES. The lockdown has been lifted. Everyone is safe and we are resuming normal activity.

Good Morning GCES! Under advisement of law enforcement officials, we have initiated a Lockdown. They are investigating a threat that was in the area, not on our campus. There is no need for parents to report to campus to get children at this time. We will send further updates as we receive them from Law Enforcement Officials.

Good Afternoon GCES! This is a reminder that on Wednesday (5/25) and Thursday (5/26) we are dismissing at 12:25 PM. We ask that Car riders are picked up by 12:45. Thursday is also the last day of school for students.

Good Afternoon GCES! Ms. Melissa Boudreaux was able to get a replacement bus and will resume her normal route this afternoon. She will be using Bus 503 until further notice. This is also a reminder about the Awards Ceremonies taking place on Monday, May 23. Students in K-4 are invited to dress in Sunday's Best for the program. PK- 9:00 3rd/4th Grade - 10:30 K-2 - 12:30

Good Afternoon GCES! Ms. Melissa Boudreaux is using a loaner bus while her original bus is being fixed. This bus has a smaller capacity, therefore she will slightly alter her route and run two loads. In the afternoons, the first load will be students who reside on Bellemin St. and Crepe Myrtle Ln. Those same students will be the second load in the mornings. We apologize in advance for the inconvenience.
