Fifth grade High Ability Learner (HAL) students from across Gretna Public Schools recently gathered at the District Office for a morning focused on problem-solving, collaboration, and community building.
Students worked together in teams to solve engaging math challenges while connecting with peers who share a passion for learning. High school HAL students volunteered their time to support each group, helping guide discussions and encourage deeper thinking.
The event provided a valuable opportunity for students to collaborate across schools, strengthen their problem-solving skills, and build connections within the district. It was inspiring to see students engaged, working together, and enjoying the challenge of mathematics.

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.
