I am thrilled to welcome you to the 20-21 school year at Galena-Abesville Elementary! As a proud graduate of Galena, I'm so pleased to serve you and your student(s) this year. You'll find our staff works collaboratively to make decisions that are always student-centered. We are committed to working with colleagues, families, students, and community members to help GAES be the best elementary. Our mission, vision and collective commitment statements are as follows and as you can see, we always have BEAR PRIDE!
Some additional facts about our elementary are that we are a fully-implemented Title I school. Each students is able to receive services from our Title I Department. Also, our elementary qualifies for the state CEP (Community Eligibility Program) cafeteria program. The CEP allows each student in the building to receive free breakfast and free lunch each day of the school year. We are so thankful for this program to assist our students and their families.
We are so excited about this school year! My door is always open and I look forward to working with you and your students this year. If you have questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact me.
Go Bears!
Dr. Staci Baker
Elementary Principal
