#Gatornation is #1
Dear Gompers Families,
Each school year marks another milestone in our lives. 2020 is a milestone for all of us and definitely one we will not forget..... However, our 19-20 journey as #GATORNATION has and is still being written as a GREAT one!
Please note, as we meet the last full week with a sense of accomplishment mixed with tenderness and sadness about saying goodbye to our students. Although we are eager for our summer there is that time where we are surprised and experience a feeling of melancholy when facing the fact that the year is coming to completion.
1. **** Tuesday, June 2, will be the last day for teachers to follow the time schedules of class meetings. However, online assignments/projects/quizzes will continue to be received for submission and grading purposes. Please, ensure this week that your child(ren) is aware of all assignments and due dates.******
2. Our district-level office is still designing a continuum of options for students for Fall 2020 and what it might look like and sound like in daily application. I have attached below the Superintendent's; latest message regarding "where we are" with updates for Fall 2020. Additionally, please note as the district develops possible implementation plans for Fall 2020, stakeholder input from parents'families and students will be gathered to gain a greater perspective on our new normal for schooling. Stakeholder input will come via a survey, please be on the lookout for the survey and provide your input.
3. Attached please find the schedule for the refunds, return of books and pick up of belongings: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1XvBY6HSF1Hvy4euN0xw-GPd5ZU9IwuoS3m43I6boEms/edit?usp=sharing
