Dear GCA Families,
Once again, we thank you for your patience as we navigate the ongoing changes occurring in light of the coronavirus pandemic. We have some important updates to share at this time.
PD Day - Monday, March 16.
In our efforts to be as prepared as possible in light of any potential school closure recommendations, we will be having a PD Day to focus on COVID-19 response this coming Monday, March 16, 2020. This will allow our teaching and administrative staff the time to focus on scenario planning due to the COVID-19 situation, to ensure the continuity of learning for our students. We regret the short notice, but believe this is the best way to support our staff in developing robust plans for this unique situation.
Please note: the ABC program will not be running on that day.
Unless advised otherwise, we expect students to return to GCA on
Tuesday, March 17.
We are working to make the best possible decisions for your students and families with the information we have today. Please remember this is a rapidly changing situation, subject to change.
As always, our primary focus is the health and safety of our GCA community. We continue to work with our Board of Directors, other schools, Alberta Education and Alberta Health to respond as the situation develops, and will continue to provide you with information as it becomes available.
Thank you once more for your prayers, patience and support as we move forward.
Stanford Hielema
GCA Head of School
