Community-building events

Gordon students benefit when their parents and caregivers are connected with one another and with the school. With that in mind, Gordon parents and caregivers come together throughout the year in a variety of informal events, on campus and off.

Those events have already begun with the series of meetups arranged by grade representatives prior to the start of school. As the year plays out, more will be shared through the Thursday Gordon News or through emails from the GCA, Gordon’s volunteer organization.

Other school-wide community building events to get on your calendars now:
