Families, please note that ALL students listed as walkers to and/or from school must physically walk home and may not be picked up by a vehicle parked along the road. For safety, Ms. Silas will escort walkers across Wava Drive to the stop sign adjacent to the bus circle entrance.
🚗 If you are picking up or dropping off your child in ANY type of vehicle, you must use the car rider line.
Thank you for following our procedures and helping us keep dismissal safe and efficient for all of our Dolphins! 💜
What a fun evening at Popsicles with the Principal on Monday evening! It was wonderful spending time with our Dolphins and their families, catching up with familiar faces, welcoming new ones, and sharing plenty of smiles before the first day of school. 🐬✨
A HUGE thank you to our amazing PGE PTA for sponsoring this sweet way to kick off the new school year! 💜










💜🐬 Can We Brag on Our PTA for a Minute?! 🐬💜
Our PGE PTA continues to show up BIG for our staff! They treated our entire crew to a delicious Waffle House breakfast, surprised everyone with the cutest gift boxes complete with new school shirts, and have filled these back-to-school days with encouraging words, support, and plenty of PGE love. 🧇🎁👕
Their generosity and care remind our staff that we have an entire community cheering us on as we begin another year of serving our Dolphins.
Seriously…if you don’t have a PTA like ours, you need to get yourself one! 😉💜 We are incredibly grateful for this phenomenal team and everything they do for PGE! 🐬✨

Over the past two weeks, our PGE staff has been busy learning, growing, collaborating, and preparing to make the 2026–2027 school year an amazing one for our Dolphins! 📚✨
But when you work hard, you have to make a little time to PLAY hard, too! Our crew traded professional learning for some friendly competition with Nerf Wars and dodgeball—complete with plenty of strategy, teamwork, laughter, and maybe just a little competitive spirit. 😂🎯
Our team is recharged, connected, and READY! Bring on the students and another incredible year at PGE! 💜🐬
