Meals will be brought directly to you so you can receive your meals in a drive-thru fashion.

Each year, the Florida Department of Education surveys parents of children with an Individual Educational Plan (IEP) to determine how well your child's school is partnering with you and promoting your involvement in your child's education. All states must collect data as a part of their State Performance Plan, as required under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). The web-based survey is now open or you can request a paper survey from your child's school. Your feedback is important in helping state and local school systems continue improving educational programs for children with special needs. The survey can be accessed here: https://www.esesurvey.com/Login.php
As a reminder, Monday, 2/17/20 is President's Day and all Gilchrist County Schools and Offices will be closed. Have a safe and relaxing weekend and we will see you on Tuesday!
