Important tips all Gebhardt Families Need to Know:
bulletSchool begins at 7:55 and we dismiss at 2:41
bullet Breakfast is available every day until 7:55 – if we have a late bus, we allow those students to eat upon their arrival. 
bullet Family Access:  A fantastic family tool for keeping up to date with your children at school!  You can gain access to your child’s grades, missing assignments, lunch account and attendance information from any computer that has internet access.  All Gebhardt teachers will be utilizing this as a parent communication tool.  You will need to stop in the office to get your username and password from Mrs. Guenther.  All classroom teachers utilize the online grade book.  If you do not have your Family Access username and password yet, please stop in the office to get it!
bulletWhen we have special events we open up the playground gates to allow for additional parking.

What you can expect from me as the principal?

bullet Support for involving parents in any capacity possible.
bullet Dedication to using the time and resources we have to create the best possible learning experiences for your students.
bullet A presence in every aspect of the students’ day.
bullet A listening ear for concerns, especially those that negatively affect student achievement, and ideas that will help all of our students achieve at higher levels.
bullet A partner in trouble shooting issues that may arise.
bullet You can also always expect enthusiasm!  When you truly have a passion for what you do, it is tough to not let it constantly bubble over!  I’m looking forward to another FANTASTIC year!

Your partner in education,

Shelly Severson

Welcome to the 2007-2008 school year at Gebhardt Elementary!

This year will be an exciting adventure for students, families and staff alike!  We introduced a new theme at our Open House this fall, and regardless of how simple it sounds, it truly sums up our mission at Gebhardt Elementary.  You’ve seen the commercials for home improvement stores and other advertisements where catchy slogans run through your head at the most unusual times, well, Home Depot has caught our eye;

Gebhardt Elementary:

You can do it.

We can help.

Quite simply, that’s exactly what we are all about!  We believe in the possibilities inside each child, we know how unique each student is, we know they have different needs, different backgrounds and different goals.  We not only understand these differences, but we embrace and celebrate them at every opportunity!  The responsibility of each and every adult in the building is to act as a resource to the students.  We provide the opportunity, the instruction and all the tools needed to be successful!  We know that the students can do it, and we are all here to help.
