Good Afternoon Grand Coteau Elementary!
We were notified that the Transportation Dept. secured a bus driver for students who were routed for Bus 258. The driver will be Ms. Barbara Leblanc and will drive bus 280. She will not begin until Monday morning so students who ride this bus will need to be picked up this afternoon. Thank you for your patience during this process. Have a great day!
Good Morning GCES! This is a reminder that today, only students with odd-numbered addresses attend school. We still do not have a driver for bus 258 so parents of students who ride this bus will have to provide transportation to and from school. Arrival begins at 7:20 AM and dismissal begins at 2:55 PM. Have a Happy Friday!!!
Good Morning GCES Parents:
Please note that student drop-off begins at 7:20 AM. Dismissal will begin at 2:55 PM. We are requesting that cars arriving to pick up students do not arrive before 2:30 PM. We appreciate your cooperation in advance.

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!
