📣 Friendly Reminder About Early Pick-Ups
Dear Parents and Guardians, We hope this message finds you well! 💙
We want to take a moment to kindly remind everyone of the importance of students staying for the entire school day whenever possible. We absolutely understand that emergencies and special circumstances come up, we're here to support you through those times. However, frequent early pick-ups can be very disruptive not only to your child’s learning but also to the flow of our school day.
Additionally, when multiple families come to the office at the same time for early dismissal, it can become quite busy and chaotic, especially while we’re also assisting other families and school needs. This can cause delays and confusion, and we want to ensure everyone gets the attention they deserve. Please help us by planning for students to remain in school for the full day unless there's a genuine need. Every minute in class matters, for their academic growth, social development, and daily routine. ⏰📚
We truly appreciate your partnership and understanding. As always, thank you for working with us to make our school a safe, smooth, and positive place for every student. Warm regards,
GCS Office Team

As a precautionary measure following PNM's notice of a potential power shutdown on Thursday, March 6 (due to high winds), Santa Fe Public Schools will implement the District’s inclement weather procedures and shift to a remote learning and work day. This will allow us to ensure the health and safety of all.
Additionally, we must comply with state-required instructional hours and avoid extending the school year beyond the scheduled final day of school.
Please ensure that students are prepared for remote learning tomorrow, and stay safe.
