Almost ready! E-blast 8/16/22 🍎

The E-blast

Carlos Gilbert Elementary - Where a great school is a community project!

16 August 2022

From the Front Office

Blackhawks!

We are so excited to see you this week! Remember on the first day of school parents are welcome to walk students to their classrooms :)

Morning dropoff

Students may arrive starting at 7:45AM and will be supervised in Room 2 until 8:00AM. That is when supervision starts in the cafeteria and on the playground.

Afternoon dismissal

At dismissal, all students are released from the basketball court. Parents can either stay in their vehicle in the pickup line or park off campus and walk to the sidewalk near our marquee on Catron St. Either way you will give your child's name and grade to the person on duty who will call for the student via 2-way radio. Parents can help make the process faster by having a sign with their child's first and last name and grade level.

Technology pickup

Today is the last day for Chromebook and iPad pickup. Go to the Technology Drive Through at 2516 Cerrillos Road. They're open 9AM-6PM, closed from 1PM-2PM for lunch. Bring parent/guardian ID and student ID numbers.

See you soon!

A special start-of-school message from our school nurse

The Carlos Gilbert Health Office welcomes you back! Please review this letter for a smooth return to school and a safe and healthy year.

Topics include: COVID-19 guidelines, medications paperwork, and health office contact information.

School year meal pricing policy + link to apply

SFPS announced a new policy on free and reduced priced meals. Please review the information to see if your family is eligible and where to apply online.

Safety at Drop off and Dismissal

Please take a moment to review this post about crosswalks and traffic safety around Carlos Gilbert. It's really important we keep them clear.

Remember, the car stopped in front of you may have stopped for a crossing student. Many children are short and hard to see!

Let's make drop off and dismissal safe and smooth!

PTK welcome and parking fundraiser

Hello! Welcome back for a wonderful school year.

While transitions are hard we can make many amazing things possible if we remain calm. We’ve got this! Let’s start off the school year by leading by example to our students and our community with joy, compassion and understanding.

We are very excited about the new school year and looking forward to all the learning and fun ahead.

See you at school!

The PTK

THANK YOU to everyone who has already signed up. We could use some more volunteers for the parking fundraiser this coming weekend. Please volunteer for a shift August 20 or 21. Shifts are just 2 hours long! Easy peasy.

If you like collecting money and helping people, this is for you!

The PTK parking fundraisers collect money from downtown visitors. Volunteers simply instruct folks where to park - either in front of the school, around the bus loop or in the teachers' lot. Last year we raised approximately $4,000 from our parking fundraisers. These are pure profit and only possible with volunteer help!

Lost your hat at summer camp and need a new one?

The Carlos Gilbert PTK is a dedicated group of Parents, Teachers, and Kids working to raise money, support the classrooms, and encourage our kids. We help keep our Blackhawk spirits soaring high!
