This week we recognize and appreciate our amazing cohort of school counselors. Our school counselors support our students’ new ways of learning and growing. We appreciate their hard work and dedication in building better humans especially during this pandemic. School counselors are doing the work that matters, addressing the trauma and strengthening our students' social, emotional and academic well-being. The work of the school counselors truly embodies the GCCS mission by addressing the needs of the whole child and building a person for life every day.
So we would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to:
Cubero & Seboyeta Elementary - Tawnia Manuelito
Mesa View Elementary - Peggy Romero
Milan Elementary - Dhanielle Atencio
San Rafael & Bluewater Elementary - Beth Armstead
Mt. Taylor Elementary - Vanessa Chavez
Los Alamitos Middle School - Linda Sanchez & Patty Lopez
Laguna Acoma Jr/Sr High School - Joselyn Glicco
Grants High School - Katrina Carpenter
GCCS would like to give a shout out to all of our School Counselors! We are grateful for all you do for our students everyday! You are vital to our success and we want you to know that we could not be great without each of you! THANK YOU ALL!

To celebrate and commemorate this day, we are asking students to dress up like they are 100 years old. We are very excited to see all the creative costumes. 🙂

ATTENTION GCCS COMMUNITY:
Please review the attached flyer from Engage New Mexico regarding the new Quarantine Response Hotline. It's a good way for your student to get help with tech support and homework help during their time away from school.
Student Quarantine Hotline
The PED today launched a Quarantine Response Hotline to provide on-demand technical support and homework help to students who are missing school due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The hotline, 800-805-1192, is available to quarantined and self-isolating K-12 students in districts and charter schools participating in ENGAGE New Mexico, a PED program created early in the pandemic to help keep students engaged in learning.
Eligible students can call the hotline between 7 a.m. and 8 p.m. Monday through Friday to get connected to an academic success coach provided by the Graduation Alliance, the Public Education Department’s ENGAGE New Mexico partner. Video chats are also available to students needing more in-depth assistance, and callers can choose to receive help in English or Spanish. Students who are missing school due to the COVID-19 pandemic do not have to be referred to the ENGAGE New Mexico program for ongoing support to get help from the hotline, and there is no cost to students, districts, or charter schools.
Mesa View students are returning to school (in person) tomorrow, Monday, January 30th. Please bring your Chromebooks to school with you.
