Additional Notes
GES Is looking for a dynamic educator to take on the exciting challenge of music teacher and band director for the 2025-26 school year. Are you certified to teach K-8 music and band and have a BIG heart for kids? Are you looking for a home away from home where you are empowered to teach creatively and find outside the box ways to meet the needs of today’s children? Does working with a team of educators that take teaching and learning to new levels sound like a dream come true? Whether new to the profession and looking for your first teaching job, or you have experience and are considering a change, we want to hear from you.
Now is an exciting time to join our Bulldog family as we are growing. We recently completed Phase I of a construction project, the addition of 2 early childhood classrooms. Phase II will follow at some point in the near future and includes the construction of a new gym. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get a front row seat for all the excitement to come.
If this isn’t enough to pique your interest, our faculty/staff is given the freedom to dress casually every day of the school year. We work hard, have fun, and dress comfortably at GES.
In addition, we have recently adopted a policy granting the children of full-time school district employees the opportunity to attend GES tuition-free. This new policy serves as an added incentive for candidates who value the prospect of sharing their child(ren)'s educational journey within the same school community.

Social emotional learning is a focal point in the district.
