Hello Gurney Parents,

We are so excited to get this school year up and running! We’ve already had AMAZING NEWS - Mr. Wise is our Chagrin Falls Schools Teacher of the Year...AND, Mr. Carlson is our Chagrin Falls Schools Employee of the Year! It’s going to be a great year! 

Below are some important reminders:

Visitors and volunteers inside the school building this year: We will be limiting visitors and volunteers inside the school, during the school day. We are happy to be able to use volunteers this year but we will be keeping it to a minimum. Unfortunately, volunteers may not bring younger siblings with them. Visitors to the school must be planned ahead of time and approved by the administration. All volunteers and visitors must wear face masks while inside the school building. 

Transportation Information:

Please click here for bus route information - http://www.chagrinschools.org/BusRoutes.aspx.   

Bus routes will be updated regularly so please check back to verify your information before school starts. Please have pupils waiting at their designated pick-up location in an area that is visible and clear of traffic five minutes before the scheduled pick-up time.  Times may fluctuate slightly during the first few weeks of school.  

Dismissal to Cars - Parent Pick Up QR Codes

ALL parents will be receiving a QR code from their child’s teacher this year. You - or whomever is picking up your child - MUST show this QR code at dismissal. If your child was a Gurney student last year, they have the exact same QR code this year! There are now 2 ways to have your QR code scanned at dismissal! PLEASE read ALL of the details regarding having your QR code at dismissal and our dismissal procedures - LINK

On behalf of the entire staff at Gurney Elementary School, welcome back to a new school year!
