6/4/21 Safe Return to In-Person Instruction and Continuity of Services Survey

Dear GISD Students, Staff, and Families:

 We are looking forward to a successful 2021-2022 school year. With that in mind, we would love for input moving forward with our next year’s safety protocols.  

Please take a minute to look the Return to In-Person Instruction & Continuity of Services Plan linked below, which outlines the revised safety protocols for returning to school in the fall. Please share with your child. We would love for students to have a voice in this process as well.

 After you look it over, please use this survey to provide input on Continuity of Services plan and give us some feedback.  We value your opinion!
