Hello, GCE Families!
Please join GCE in celebrating our own Dan Fitzgerald this week for Community School Coordinator week! Community School Coordinator Appreciation Week is a nationally recognized event.
The community school strategy is not just about addressing needs - it is about building on the strengths and assets within each school community. Mr. Fitzgerald plays a unique and vital role at the forefront of this work, harnessing students, families, and community partners' unique resources, talents, and capacities to enrich the educational experience. By forging partnerships with both public and private sectors, he has created a web of support fostering academic and social-emotional development for students. Mr. Fitzgerald is at the heart of this strategy, and his daily efforts, both in the school building and throughout the broader community, are indispensable. Each day, he works to build strong, trusting relationships with families and students, connect with community partners to provide services, and acts as the eyes and ears of the school community. His ability to identify our school communities’ assets and needs allows him to respond effectively to challenges, helping families and students overcome barriers to attendance, learning, and success.
GCE has greatly benefited from Mr. Fitzgerald’s endeavors to create a strong and supportive learning community. We are so lucky to have him!
Respectfully,
Missy Morgan and Kayla Zipp

7:40 a.m ., 9/12/25: An accident has closed westbound Route 50 in Annapolis near Route 450. This will cause delays in students being transported to school this morning, most notably in the Annapolis, Broadneck, and South River clusters. At this time, all buses will make all stops but there will likely be delays in getting to some stops. Families transporting students to school in those clusters this morning and staff traveling to schools in those clusters should allow additional time for travel.
In this week’s edition of Thursday Thoughts, Superintendent of Schools Dr. Mark Bedell salutes Maryland Teacher of the Year Finalist Jacqueline Sanderson, an English Language Development teacher at Belle Grove Elementary School. #BelongGrowSucceed #AACPSFamily #OurStory
