GSE-Dear Gil Sanchez Parents,
This school year has definitely been different than others, but we still want to try and get a yearbook out to everyone so that we can remember this year for years to come.
We need your help for this to be successful.
Can you please send a photo of your student for the class portrait page?
This photo needs to be taken against a solid-colored wall and be from the chest up.
Then email it to
gilsanchezyearbook2020@gmail.com
(please include name of student and grade).
If you have any questions or need assistance regarding this, please call 966-1900.
Thank you,
Yearbook Team

GSE-
I want to touch base with each or you regarding attendance.
Our attendance policy has been added under documents and in Schoology messages.
When school started you should of signed a Hybrid or Remote Learning Contract. Please refer to those as well.
I want to thank many of you for doing such a great job with turning in assignments, attending online as required, watching all videos on Schoology and meeting your teacher's requirements.
As we are now in full swing we must do better with attendance, participation and completion of work when you are working from home either hybrid (3 days at home) or fully remote (all 5 at home).
This is the new norm for school. If you need assistance please contact your child's teacher.
I can't stress enough how important it is that you keep in contact with your child's teacher and ensure that your child is keeping up with his or her school work. Also please remember to submit doctor's notes and written parent notes when your child is absent.
Regular school hours should be attempted to be kept when possible at home. Regular bedtime is also important at this time.
School is in session and we are half way through our first quarter already. We have so much to cover as is with our late start due to COVID-19, so every single day is so important and cannot be wasted.
Our district attendance coach is starting to make contact with families that are not complying with attendance contracts.
Thanks for your attention to this and let's do our best to continue our hard work as a Blue Ribbon School.
Mrs. Martinez
