Gabilan Elementary School

THANK YOU (LCAP Goal 5)

This past week at Gabilan has tested our staff to say the least. We have been heavily feeling the effects of COVID-19 upon returning from break and have been incredibly short staffed. That said, I am absolutely impressed and grateful for the entire team during this time. We have been able to band together and work as a team to keep our school going. Thank you to all of you as you all have done things above and beyond your job description. Whether you have done crosswalk duty, pupil supervision, phone assistance, ran to assist a colleague with something or provided an ear to listen with, it has not gone unnoticed. Thank you all for working together to assist each other and our students. Not once in the past two weeks have I heard, “That’s not in my job description.” Instead, I have been hearing over and over, “Happy to help! We have to help each other for the kids!” I am sure this COVID wave is almost done being surfed and we will have more staff on campus next week. That being said, I couldn’t be more impressed by every single person on our team this week. I am truly proud to be part of this Eagle Team!

January Professional Development (LCAP Goal 5)

On January 10th, all staff were given the opportunity to take part in district wide professional development. Thank you to everyone who attended.

During our Gabilan site-based session, we went over the beginning of our PLC revival process. We discussed the beginnings of our vision for the school and talked about some of our beliefs. We will be working with Peter Dewitt in a coming staff meeting to refine our vision. During our January 10th PD, we also used our Global PD videos featuring Solution Tree experts to assist us in our revival process. We will also be working in our coming staff meetings and grade level meetings to begin our 15 day challenge soon in order to get some quick wins to help kick start the revival process.
