GAA COVID-19 Updates

Hi GAA parents & guardians:

I appreciate your patience as we get everyone logged into Google Classroom and onto Zoom meetings. We will work together to get everyone started!
Please view this video from me https://youtu.be/k74GIE_W89c
Here are some FAQs and tips for issues that we have been seeing:

1. Can't get into email:
If your child doesn't remember their email address or password, email me at support@gilbertartsacademy.com

2. Can't install Zoom:
On the page where it asks you to install Zoom from the Chrome Store, there is a tiny little blue link that says "join from browser." Click that. Put in their name and press join meeting. You'll have to check "I am not a robot" and maybe click on some pictures. After that you should be all set!

If you have any other issues, please email support@gilbertartsacademy.com or all the school. We are happy to help.

4/6 Update from Ms. Arnold--

Hi GAA Families!

Today we are beginning week 3 of distance learning. Thank you all for the support you have been providing from home to ensure that students are completing their assignments - whether in packet form or on Google Classroom. Now, more than ever, we must be a united team so that we can make sure each student is prepared for next year!

Our goal over the coming weeks is to prepare all of our students for success in their next grade. To do this teachers are focusing instruction on two areas: 1. grade-level standards not yet taught this year and 2. essential skills for success in the following grade.

It is extremely important that all students are completing their assignments on a regular basis to the best of their abilities. It is also important that, while helping with practice assignments, you allow your child to do their assessments on their own. That way, the teacher can assess what their students do understand and what they do not understand. Also, please encourage your child to do their best work and show EXCELLENCE when turning in their assignments. Students are receiving grades for their work.

We are still here to support our students and families during this time. You can stay up-to-date on information and communicate with us in a variety of ways.
