Trailblazer's Guide to Gibbs
Monday, August 24, or Tuesday, August 25
8:30–11:00 am or 12:00–2:30 pm

This optional, welcoming half-day program is designed just for incoming 6th graders to explore Gibbs before the school year begins and is offered by Arlington Community Education at no cost. Students will become familiar with the building, reconnect with old friends, meet new classmates, and get introduced to some of their teachers. They will play interactive games, go on scavenger hunts, and experience an advisory meeting. Parents and guardians are invited to attend an optional meet-and-greet with Gibbs administrators during the first half hour.

Please register by Friday, July 10. Space is limited, and registration is required, even though the program is free. No walk-ins will be permitted on the day of the program.
