Benefield Parent Newsletter

Dear Benefield Parents and Guardians
We are no longer switching students from digital to in-person learning at Benefield. We understand that needs change and that digital learning is not for every student. In those cases students will be permitted to return to in-person learning after the first nine-weeks.
If you have extenuating circumstances that conflict with our District guidance, you may contact me via email at shonda.stevens@gcpsk12.org. Please include student name, student number, grade level, and teacher in the email.
Please keep reading for important Benefield updates.
Proud to serve as your principal,
Shonda Stevens

The Parent Center
We know that families want easy access, and one go-to location for need-to-know information about their student's education— from records to resources. Just as important, you want an easy way to stay in touch with the school. The updated Parent Portal gives parents access to grades, assignments, and communication with teachers. The Parent Portal gives families a direct line to the classroom, with 24/7 real-time information and anytime, anywhere access, with in-portal translation in multiple languages.
