At the GESM,  your child’s safety is our top priority.

While we let our children experience and enjoy a wide range of activities in school, we are aware that even the most stringent measures cannot prevent accidents from happening.

 

We have two (2) certified full-time nurses (RNs) with hospital experience on call to perform first aid procedures should these incidents arise. For extreme cases, the school has an existing partnership with Lifeline.

 

The clinic is also available to help students in case they suddenly feel sick while in school.

 

With this in mind, rest assured that your child’s health and safety is of utmost importance to all of us.
