You can play an important role in helping us keep our campuses secure. Here are a few key ways parents and visitors can help: Check in at the front office. All visitors should present a valid photo ID and state the purpose of their visit. This helps us ensure that everyone on campus is authorized to be there. Use designated entrances. Please enter through the main office. Avoid trying to “tailgate” behind someone else—each visitor should check in individually. Report anything unusual. If you see something suspicious or concerning, say something. By following these simple steps, you help us maintain a secure learning environment for all students. Thank you for partnering with us to keep our campuses safe! GEF Senior Scholarships The Gilbert Education Foundation is pleased to be able to offer scholarships to graduating seniors. Note that scholarships are available for all GPAs, fields of study, types of schools, etc. Take advantage of this opportunity to help fund your future!
