Summer Letter from Mrs. Fortier

 

July 21, 2021



Dear Great Falls Families,


At this point, I hope you enjoyed some summer fun with your family and friends. Nothing beats summer in Maine although the rainy weather seems more frequent than I remember. Our family enjoys camping and spending time on the lake but our visits seem too sparse this year. Here’s hoping for a strong finish to July and a beautiful August. 


We thank you for your flexibility and continued patience with us as we continue to be responsive to the guidelines surrounding the current epidemic. Please take note of the following dates and view the 2021-2022 Gorham School Calendar.

 

Tuesday, August 31st - 1st Day of School for Grades 1-5

 

Thursday, September 2nd - First Day of School for Kindergarten 

 

Friday, September 3rd - No School

 

Monday, September 6th - No School - Labor Day

 

Tuesday, September 7th - School Resumes for K-5


To help with your back-to-school shopping, I am including the grade level supply lists below. Please remember that purchasing any of the items listed is optional. Great Falls will make sure that all students have the supplies they need to fully participate in their on-campus educational programming. 



Heather Perry will be conducting a Parent Forum on Monday, August 9th at 6:30 pm through zoom. During this forum, families will have a chance to ask questions regarding what to expect for our fall reopening plans in Gorham. By the time of the forum, Heather will have sent out her blog post sharing her recommendations for school reopening along with any initial resource materials for families. 


If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to me at any time at becky.fortier@gorhamschools.org. Happy summer!


Kindly,

Becky Fortier

Great Falls Principal
