Mr. Kean
GCMS Families,
The Gibson City boil order is lifted.
Thanks for working with us yesterday.
-Mr. Darnell
Good morning! We are still experiencing phone issues at the elementary school. We can make and receive some calls, but it is sporadic. If you can't get through by phone, please email your child's teacher. I am sorry for the inconvenience.
Mr. Kean
Another reminder to send your child with water today if possible. Thanks!
Mr. Kean
GCMS Families,
Gibson City, and all three of our schools, will be under a boil order as we enter Monday. Please send your children with ample water for the day. We have bottled water at all three schools should the need arise. Our restroom facilities are fully operational, and we will take necessary precautions for food service. Be prepared for extra water both Monday and Tuesday.
Thanks for your attention and cooperation.
Falcon Proud,
Mr. Darnell
