May-mester

Dear Gilbert Parents,

I am pleased to announce that all Walker County Schools will be participating in a new instructional schedule and program for the remainder of this school year. This program is called May-mester. Students in grades 1 through 5 will be receiving additional instruction in Math and Reading. This additional instruction will serve as a remediation for any who might need to retake a portion of the CRCT during the last week of May. May-mester also provides schools the opportunity to offer accelerated classes. Accelerated classes will introduce students to standards for next year's curriculum. A large percentage of the accelerated classes will focus on upcoming science and social studies standards. All students will continue to follow the same activity, recess, and lunch schedules. We are hopeful and excited about this new approach to remediation and accelerated teaching.

Thank you for your continued support,

Mr. Brad Hayes
Principal Gilbert Elementary School
