Welcome to Quarter 2 of the 2024/25 school year! Thank you for everything you are doing to connect with your student’s individual learning journey. I invite you to keep up to date with activities at your child’s school(s) and to get involved in any way you can. We greatly appreciate the support of our parents, families, and the wider community, and we couldn’t do this without you!
Gilbert Public Schools (GPS), in partnership with the Gilbert Education Foundation (GEF), invites everyone to a morning of health and fun at Campo Verde High School on Saturday, February 22, 2025. The activities kick off with the Run for Fun at 7:30 am followed by the Healthy Connections Expo 9 am - 12 pm, offering a variety of fun activities and resources for families in Gilbert and Mesa.
This year’s Spelling Bee was electrifying! Elementary and junior high students from schools across the district wowed the audience at Campo Verde High last Thursday, January 23rd for the Annual District Spelling Bee.
In order to ensure that we can communicate with families regarding their student, or in case of an emergency, it is essential that families keep their emergency contact information up to date in their Infinite Campus account. Please contact your student's school directly for assistance with your Infinite Campus account.
