Exploration

Gering Public Schools is excited to help families and students prepare for the next step in their educational journey! We have two special evenings planned for families this spring where students and families can thoughtfully explore their next schools, meet staff, and learn about all the opportunities ahead.


🎓 GEAR Up For High School – 8th Grade Preview Night

Thursday, March 5 | 6:00 p.m. | GHS Gym

Current 8th graders and their families are invited to 8th Grade Preview Night at Gering High School. This event is designed to help students explore high school life, plan their path, and get ready for a smooth transition to 9th grade.

Highlights:

Families will also have the chance to ask questions and connect with staff, discovering ways for students to stay engaged and get the most out of their high school experience.


🚏 Next Stop: GMS – 5th Grade Next Level Night

Monday, April 20 | 6:00 p.m. | GMS Library

Incoming 5th graders and their families are invited to Next Level Night at Gering Middle School. This evening is all about helping students feel confident, excited, and ready for middle school.
