Dear Gilbert Public Schools Parents and Families,
Welcome back from Spring Break! It is wonderful to have our students back in class, learning and being supported by our teachers, administrators, and support staff. We are all ready and excited to close out this school year strong, with a focus on academics and the wellbeing of our students.
Thank you, as always, for your continued support of your child and our schools. We ask that you please continue to adhere to the various mitigation strategies on our campuses, and support us in our objective to keep all students, staff, and families healthy and safe during this time.
In this week's newsletter, you will find important updates, including information regarding summer school and summer camps for your children.
Thank you for being an important part of our GPS community!
Sincerely,
