Harris Weekly Update
AUGUST 3 - 7
Dear Harris Families,
In an effort to keep our families as informed as possible, GPS has created a page on our district website, specifically for back to school, including a range of resources, information and FAQs - www.gilbertschools.net/backtoschool. Also, please check your email inbox for communications directly from your child's teacher regarding the beginning of the school year, including plans for Meet the Teacher and schedules. If you should have any questions don't hesitate to call the front office at 480-545-7060.
Getting Stated Online
As all of our students begin the school year online, there are some key resources our parents should be aware of:
During online learning students will be using the Buzz platform, our official district online learning platform, to connect with their teacher(s), and to access the Florida Virtual curriculum.
Students will use the GPS Portal to access Buzz on a daily basis while learning online.
Our GPS Parent Technical Support website is now live, providing parents with all the information they need to be successful online including login information for our district online platform, Buzz.
Student orientation for Buzz will be available prior to having access to their courses on August 5th.
Communication will continue to be sent out from your school(s) with information regarding schedules, meet the teacher etc.
