Serving on the School Board is a fantastic opportunity to help shape the school’s policies, budget, and operations. The Board meets twice per month from 4:00–6:00 PM:

• First Thursday: Workshop meeting for planning and discussion

• Third Thursday: Board meeting for decision-making and action items

If you know a community member, previous GES parent, or grandparent who may be interested in a community board member seat, please encourage them to join us! Likewise, if you are interested in becoming a parent board member, feel free to contact Board Chair Joe Drotos at joe.drotos@greatexpectationsschool.com for more information.
 

While we will still hold our annual meeting in the fall, there will be no board elections at that time.

Please join us in May to vote and be part of this important process!
