Expectation Stations - Friday, Aug. 21st
The Thomas Elementary 5th graders, the leaders of our school, held 'Expectation Stations' this past Friday. They taught all of our KG-4th grade students how to Give Kindness, Practice Accountability, and Stay Safe around our school. Great work 5th grade and thanks to our 5th grade team for preparing them for a great day!

We can't wait to hear all about writing books and hear ideas for his next book!

We are so excited to welcome these new members of the Gretna family and thankful for Journey Church and their support of our schools.

Thank you for helping us welcome our newest Gretna Greats and for spreading a little joy as they begin this new chapter. This is The Gretna Way in action!

96 of our special education paraprofessionals gathered at Gretna East High School for a day of professional development as they prepare to support students throughout the 2026-27 school year.

This is an incredibly dedicated group of staff members who bring compassion, patience, and commitment to their work every day. They live out Gretna Public Schools' mission to unconditionally accept all students and maximize their potential.

We are grateful for the important role they play in supporting our students and for the care they bring to their work each day.

Thank you for all you do for our students and for being such an important part of The Gretna Way!
