WEEKLY WRAP UP

AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN (ARP) FEEDBACK SURVEY

As we continue developing our instructional response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we are interested in hearing from our school community about the needs of your student(s) and ways we can provide additional support over the next few years.

Please use the American Rescue Plan Feedback Surve y to share your ideas about how we can best serve your child(ren).

BLENDED LEARNING AVAILABLE FOR 2021-2022

In response to parent feedback about maintaining a remote instruction option for next school year, we would like to share that we will offer blended learning using the third-party provider SchoolsPLP.

Families who expressed interest will receive more information by email in the coming weeks and a selection survey will be sent in July.

If you would like more information and did not previously notify us you can email the Assistant Superintendent, Jill Elliott at elliottj@gjps.org.

Lincoln Elementary Rummage Sale

Moving our teachers and staff into a new building is no easy task! To help the transition a bit, Lincoln Elementary 3rd and 5th-grade students organized books, games and other supplies no longer being used into a school-wide rummage sale.

Customers (students) chose the price they wanted to pay and the $453.90 raised was donated to the GJPS FEED MY TUMMY FUND.

Less waste for the landfill and donations to the Feed My Tummy Fund--DOUBLE WIN!
