Hello Gator Families,
Last year GPS started a district mandate that all students and staff must wear their school IDs on campus.
IDs are needed for...
-the safety of our students
-the bus
-the library
and
-the cafeteria
Please be sure your Gator comes to school with their lanyard with ID everyday. We can print a temporary sticker if they forget for the day but if the ID is lost they will need to have it replaced. The first replacement is free but after that it will be $5 per replacement. Thank you for your help with this so we can keep all our Gators safe!
Dear Families,
Please see the below attachments regarding the Second Step program. Attached is the Second Step Family Letter and the Greenfield Second Step Opt-Out form. Paper copy Opt-Out forms have been distributed to all the teachers to go home. There are additional paper copy Opt-Out forms at the front desk.
Second Step Lessons are scheduled to begin the week of September 2nd, 2024. Please contact the School Social Worker, Alexis Howard with any questions, concerns or if you would like to preview a lesson. She can be reached by calling (480) 892-2801 ext 1308 or at Alexis.Howard@Gilbertschools.net.

6th grade parents:
Are you tired of this reminder yet? This will be my last reminder regarding 6th grade vaccines. If your child turns 12 while in 6th grade it is a state requirement that they receive the Tdap and Meningitis vaccine. Please turn in your records to me or I will be calling you!
Going around the Health Office:.
This has been a calmer week !!:
sore throats
bad coughs
Headaches.
Many kids are coming in hungry and stating they have not had breakfast. Please make sure they have a little something in their tummies before coming to school.
I hope everyone had a chance to see the beautiful blue full moon Monday and Tuesday!
In Health,
Nurse Suzy and Ms.Lucy
