End of Year Update from Superintendent Grumley
May 22, 2020
Hello Garfield Re-2 Family:
We are about to wrap up a most interesting school year. Thinking back to August 12, we had a lot of excitement with the first day of school, - first-day photos, figuring out how to open lockers, picture days, and athletic events. In March, things took a turn, and our communities, nation and world had to make changes like we have not seen in 100 years. Education got flipped upside down. Families had to stay at home and many things that we viewed as given - like toilet paper - became rare, scarce, or out of reach.
One thing that never changed is the care and commitment that the teachers and staff of Garfield Re-2 have for each and every one of the 4,900 students in our district. District leaders developed frameworks to change in-person education to distance learning in just 13 days; Principals, counselors, and school admin attempted to contact each and every child within the first week of school closures just to ask, “Are you alright;” Teachers changed the way they delivered instruction and continued relationships with their students - they learned pets names, sibling names, saw their students through a different lens; Nutrition services workers fed hundreds of students every day, and we ended the year with amazing celebrations of our seniors and honored those students transitioning to the next phase of their educational careers.
