Our School

Hello Gilbert Heights Families,

Dear GH Families,
We are winding up the 2020-21 school year. It has been difficult and challenging us all to learn in new and different ways. Here are a few things this week for you to know:

Chromebook Round Up
Students must return their Chromebooks and chargers at the end of the year. We have two drop off days planned. Please help us round up our technology so we can  clean them and prepare for next year. 
Drop off in front of GH school:
June 17, 1:30-3:30
June 18, 9:00-3:00
June 21, 1:00-3:00
