Students and teachers at GBS are re-imagining how to "do school" this year. Even though we can't use most of our tents yet, classes are happening outside. Students are connecting with their teachers, as well as their in-person and remote peers. Teachers are finding new and creative ways to engage their students academically while supporting their social-emotional needs. Our classrooms are expanding beyond the four walls and teachers and students are taking advantage of these opportunities.
Even though our tents aren't quite ready for use - teachers are still taking advantage of the good weather to conduct classes outside. We are anticipating the good news that we can use the tents as outdoor learning spaces, but until then...we will get creative!
On September 8, 2020 Great Brook School opened its doors (physical and virtual) to welcome students back to school. With safety measures in place such as health screenings, temperature checks, mask wearing, and physical distancing, students joined the teachers in the building. Although not all of our students are back in the building yet, we are providing instruction to our "Remote Bobcats" through online streaming. We are still working out all of the glitches, but our first day back was certainly a memorable one!
On Friday, the district will send out the draft of our reopening plan. We anticipate that you may have questions and we would like to invite you to a GBS community meeting to get answers to those questions. On Wednesday August 5th, there will be two GBS specific meetings. The first one will be at 5:00pm and will take place in the ConVal High School Gymnasium. The second will be at 6:00pm and will take place via Zoom. It is important to know if you are attending either of these meetings, so please RSVP using this survey. We look forward to seeing you next Wednesday!
Sincerely,
Katherine Foecking, Principal GBS
Dr. Kimberly Rizzo-Saunders, Superintendent ConVal School District
I am honored to join the GBS community as the new Principal.
Throughout my fifteen years dedicated to education, I have focused on maintaining a learner-centered community that fosters social, emotional, and academic growth for all children.
I look forward to working together with the GBS community to carry this vision forward. In order to do this work, I have created an entry plan that outlines a sequence of activities that will provide me with opportunities to learn from individuals representing staff, parents, and students of the GBS community, as well as some community leaders.
While my goal is to follow this plan, please understand that the current COVID-19 situation may require alterations to this plan. I look forward to working with you.
