On behalf of Gila Bend Unified School District, I want to welcome you to our Web site. One of its goals is to provide our parents, students, teachers, and community members with a high degree of communication and involvement in the education of our district's children.

We believe that by working together every one of our students will be given the opportunity to develop to their highest potential academically, physically, and socially. Therefore, we encourage parent participation. We welcome parents to visit their child's classroom, to attend conferences, to help as volunteers, or to serve on committees. We acknowledge that parents who are actively involved in every aspect of their child's education have students who do better in school and enjoy increased self-esteem.

In addition to involved parents, our students are supported by outstanding teachers and staff who promote positive outcomes like higher student achievement, an acceptance of individual responsibility, and a love of learning that will benefit our students throughout their lives. We are very proud of these dedicated professionals!

Sincerely,

 

Jim Mosley
Superintendent
