Miss Hedrick's class is learning all about non pitches percussion instruments. They have been having a blast exploring all the sounds different instruments make.
Just had to share - our kindergarten and 4th grade students celebrated their class buddies! They're learning the importance of friendship and community!
Mrs. Alvarado's kindergarten class is spreading the love! They wrote sweet notes about why they love kindergarten, and it's the perfect treat for Valentine's Day.
Kindergarteners are crushing it in class! They're teaming up with partners to practice their reading skills and it's adorable to see them support each other. Who knew reading could be so much fun?
Just learned about the awesomeness of America in Reading class! We read 'America the Beautiful' and I got to draw the most stunning parts of our country that matched the story. From the mountains to the prairies, it was so cool to bring the words to life!
First graders are diving into the amazing world of sky patterns! They're exploring what lights up the day (hello, sunshine!) and what twinkles at night. So cool!
Check out Miss Beeson's first graders going from tiny tots to tiny pros! They're mastering everything from tying those tricky shoes to writing in the 1000s!
Miss Gina's class turned into a bunch of mini chefs this week! They made ice cream from scratch and had a blast (literally - they got to shake it up themselves!). Who knew learning about states of matter could be so sweet?
Miss Tammy's preschool class went all out for cooking week! Their 'worms in dirt' snack was a huge hit - the kids loved tricking everyone with the creepy-crawly treats! The best part? They had a blast making memories (and snacks) they'll never forget.
We are proud to showcase artwork created by talented students from across Gretna Public School District. These pieces are now on display at the District Office for our community to enjoy. We rotate artwork often, so stop by and see the creativity of our students in person. Amazing work!

Students in Mrs. Collins’ second grade class read a story about Helen Keller and then used their iPads—exploring Epic and PebbleGo—to research and gather information for their worksheets. Today, they turned that learning into eye-catching visuals, proudly displaying their knowledge in the halls of Harvest Hills!

The School Board approved the 2027-2028 school year calendar at last night’s meeting. To help families plan ahead, we are sharing the 2025-2026, 2026-2027, and 2027-2028 calendars early so vacations and appointments can be scheduled with minimal impact on learning.
As we plan for future school years, we also want to remind families why attendance matters. Missing 10 percent of the school year, about 18 days, can significantly affect student success at all grade levels. In the early grades, strong attendance supports reading development. In middle and high school, regular attendance is closely connected to academic progress and graduation.
Improving attendance is a shared responsibility, and small habits make a big difference. Planning vacations and appointments outside of school days, maintaining consistent routines, and staying connected with your child’s school all help students succeed.
Every day in class builds learning, confidence, and connection.
Every Day Counts. Attendance Matters.
