Gilbert Public Schools - Connecting, Creating, and Caring
May 13, 2020
Dear GPS Family,
It is still hard to believe that we did not return to our classrooms and offices after spring break as we intended and that we are now closing out the school year in new ways. But, as you have done throughout this time, you all continue to rise to the occasion with creative and innovative solutions. From reverse parades to Webex class parties to virtual graduation ceremonies thank you for showing up to honor the achievements of our students!
This has been an unprecedented time in education, it has been challenging and unfamiliar, but through it all, our Gilbert Public Schools employees have shown what it truly means to connect, create, and care. These last eight weeks of remote learning have been executed with professionalism, dedication, and a depth of caring for our students and families that can't be matched.
Please take some time to read this week's newsletter for important updates and reminders, and thank you again for all you are doing and continue to do to support the education of our children.
Sincerely,
Shane McCord, Ed. D.
Superintendent
