At GCA we are fortunate to have each family in our community 💙 we respect and value each voice!

We want to hear from all of our K-8 families enrolled for the 2020-21 school year. If you haven't already, please check your email for a link to our latest survey and a guide to updated health and safety protocols.

Your voice and feedback matters to every decision we make. We are doing our best to design a solution that supports each family the best we possibly can.

Message us on here or at [email protected] if you can't find your email.

Did you know we opened 2 of our Early Childhood classrooms last month?

Our team has implemented:
✅ Extra health and safety measures in the classroom
💦 Lots of hand-washing for everyone,
🧼 Additional cleaning before, after and throughout the day,
😷 Face masks for staff, and
📉 Smaller group sizes

So far everyone has adjusted really well and we are having a blast exploring, just like we always have!

-----

The Early Childhood Center will be opening with full time schedules for currently enrolled students under the new state guidelines currently in place.

Our K-8 school is continuing to work through plans to return and exactly what that will look like for our staff and students.

-----

We can't wait to be back with you all soon!💙

We've been quiet on here lately because we wanted you to enjoy your summer but we're going to start posting again as we get ready for another great school year.

Like many other schools, we have been working through multiple options and scenarios for heading back to school and while we don't have finalized plans to share, our goal is to be physically in school as much as possible while following health and safety guidance to keep our students and staff safe and healthy.

We hope to share more details next week after some additional state guidance which is expected today. Please know that everything will still be subject to change as we continue to learn more information.

Parents currently enrolled for the 2020-21 school year, please check your email for a link to our survey - we want to hear what you're thinking!

Parents currently thinking about enrolling for 2020-21 - we have very limited spaces available in some of our grades - message us for more information!

Black Lives Matter.

Our hearts are heavy with you. We will keep celebrating our beautiful community of color at GCA and we won't stop there - we are committed to ACT and speak up about the injustice and racism in our world today. You can read more about what we are doing and praying for on our blog: https://www.gahannachristianacademy.com/stoke-the-fire/2020/6/3/open-letter-standing-together-and-seeking-change

We love you and we stand with you.

Last week was filled with sweet messages from our students and parents. Here's one to end our Educator Appreciation Week 💙

Happy Mother's Day! Thank you to all the moms who are taking on new roles this year supporting remote learning from home. We know this season hasn't been easy but you are doing a great job! We are celebrating YOU today! 💛

Yesterday our educators received a surprise visit to celebrate Educator Appreciation Week (socially distanced of course!)

Edited to add: Thank you to all the parents who donated to the PTF to make this thank you special!
