Gila Crossing Community School

Gila Crossing Families, Gila River Healthcare will be conducting a vaccination clinic on campus this Thursday, July 7th from 10am to 2pm. Please remember that current policy states that students attending in-person must be fully vaccinated to be eligible to return. The latest date of the 2nd vaccine dose to return on the first day of school, August 3rd, is July 19. BUT, we will continue to accept in-person students after August 3rd as they meet vaccination and testing requirements. So please take advantage of this event on campus on Thursday, July 7.

Gila Crossing Families, The Bus Meal Runs are now collecting Chromebooks and any other technology. Please get those out to the buses this week. You can also return them to the front office. If these are not turned in, they may be billed for. IF YOU HAVE A SPECIAL ED STUDENT WORKING REMOTELY WITH YOUR TEACHERS, THIS DOES NOT APPLY TO YOU. Thank you for getting these items back to us.
