Note From The Counselor
Chalmers Parents,
I hope everyone is doing well at this time. I imagine that after a few weeks of homeschooling children, while also dealing with the events around us, it can become stressful. It can become stressful for you as well as the children. I want to make sure that everyone knows that although we are not on campus, I am still available to help out however I can. If you have a concern, please reach out to me via e-mail and we can work to address whatever concerns you are having. I would be happy to set up zoom meetings with you or your students as well. Please do not hesitate to reach out.
During these times, self-care is as important as ever. We cannot best serve our families if we are not taking care of ourselves. If you are struggling with stress or anxiety, I posted a link on my GISD web page that offers a few stress management tips as well as a website link to some parenting resources. Again, please reach out if there's anything you need. My e-mail is mmcdonald@gainesvilleisd.org and a link to my GISD web page is https://www.gainesvilleisd.org/site/Default.aspx?PageID=5144
I miss all your kiddos very much!
Thank you,
Mrs. McDonald
Student Meals Update
Per the District calendar set forth for this year, Monday, April 20, was scheduled as a bad weather make up day. Due to the current circumstances and previously missed instruction time, Monday will be a distance learning/work day for all GISD students and staff.
As a result of Monday now being a regular school day, the student meal service will be provided. As a reminder, anyone 18 and under is able to receive meals. Please have the child present at pick up, which is from 8am-1pm at Edison or Gainesville Junior High.
In addition, beginning Friday, April 17, we will once again be able to provide weekend meals. Each student may receive 3 breakfasts, 3 lunches, and 3 dinners on Fridays beginning April 17. Thank you to the Boys & Girls Club and the Intrinsic Foundation for partnering with GISD to provide and serve the first round of weekend meals.
