I wanted to clarify the days and times for the Georgetown open houses.
- KINDERGARTEN OPEN HOUSE: TUESDAY, AUGUST 27 @ 6:30 pm – 7:30 pm
- GRADES 1-5 OPEN HOUSE: WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 28 @ 6:30 pm – 7:30 pm
Mrs. Reagan
We are welcoming 100 kindergarteners to Georgetown this fall. This school year will lay the foundation for elementary and secondary education so that they can be proud graduates in 2026.
Our four kindergarten teachers have been working day and night to prepare the curriculum and classroom for the arrival of their very special learners. We are so excited to welcome your children to school.
Kindergarten Open House will be held on Tuesday, August 27 from 6:30 to 7:30 pm. You and your child will have the opportunity to tour the building, classroom, playground and a big yellow school bus.
We would like every family to bring a donation of quarters (as many as you wish) to help us fund our Friday POPCORN Days. These are made possible by parent volunteers — and the donations make it possible for us to purchase all the materials for the popcorn. EVERY CHILD receives a bag one Friday a month! A donation jug will be in the rotunda.
Also, if you would like to volunteer for classroom and school events this year, please complete this survey. Volunteers are GOLD to us….and I want you to know that parent volunteers help us to build a warm, caring and supportive climate at Georgetown. We want you to be involved in your child’s life at school…so please volunteer!
For those of you who have a child in grades 1-5, Open House will be held on August 28 (Wednesday) from 6:30 to 7:30 pm. We will have our POPCORN QUARTER JUG in the rotunda…and we would love to have you complete the volunteer survey too!
I am very excited to meet all the new children and welcome all of our old friends back to school!
Mrs. Reagan
Georgetown has been a hum of activity for the past four weeks. Mr. Rob, our SUPER custodian and his team of SUPER custodians have cleaned and polished every surface. They have also been busy moving teachers to new spaces and setting up equipment and furniture for learners of all ages.
During the open houses on Tuesday and Wednesday, visiting children and their families were able to see all the work we have been doing to prepare every single room for the new year. It was great to see all of you….and truly, we can’t wait to have the building filled with the buzz of learning and friendship again.

We will be opening our doors to welcome you back to school this week.
If you have a kindergartener, please come to the special Kindergarten Open House on Tuesday between 6:30 pm and 7:30 pm. There will not be a formal meeting. This is a time for you to meet the teacher, tour the room and a school bus!

We can’t wait to welcome you back to school! School begins on Tuesday, September 4 for all K-5 students.
Mrs. Reagan
The month of July is normally a very quiet month at Georgetown. This past July proved to be an exception to this trend! Due to changes in staffing throughout the district, teachers were able to make changes in grade levels and home buildings.
Leaving Georgetown for new adventures are as follows:

We are so excited to welcome all of our new staff members…and sad to see our good friends move on. Mr. Rob (our intrepid custodian) and his team have been busy moving boxes and shelves and more. Soon we will have everyone settled in so we can welcome all of you back to another fantastic school year.
Mark your calendars for our open houses in late August!
Mrs. Reagan
We know that many of you like to get a head start on school supplies during the summer months. To help you with your BACK TO SCHOOL SHOPPING, teachers are posting supply lists on their class blogs.
Class lists with links to the teacher’s blogs can be found on this post: CLASSLISTS 2011-12.
Mark your calendars for the open houses this August:
Calling all students and parents! We will be holding our open houses this week on Tuesday (PK/K) and Wednesday (Grades 1-5). We would love to have you stop by and meet us.

The schedule is as follows:

Our district publishes an all district newsletter five times throughout the school year. This newsletter is mailed with the Advance newspapers during the publication cycles which allows us to share all we are doing with an audience that is much broader than our own building communities.
This Appleseed communication includes an update from our superintendent (Nicholas Ceglarek) and many highlights about academics, special events and academics throughout the district. All of our schools use this communication to highlight events that have been shared in our newsletters/blogs within our own buildings.
I will begin posting these on our blog and file them in a category titled, APPLESEED. You will also be able to find them by typing in the word appleseed into the search bar found on the blog sidebar.
The most recent newsletter can be viewed by clicking on the highlight words below. Please note that the times for our district open houses are not correct in this publication.
