Gateway Community Charters

Gateway Community Charters (GCC) has been working together with our local authorizers, Sacramento County Office of Education, and Yolo County Office of Education to prepare for the reopening of schools for 2020-2021. As COVID-19 has changed our collective landscape, the GCC has continued to leverage resources, share best practices, and advocate for regulatory flexibility needed to best serve our students, staff, and families. 

There is no one-size-fits-all approach to reopening schools across the GCC. Each school is working with the GCC to decide how it will reopen schools while working within local public health officials' guidelines.

As we prepare for the 2020-21 school year, we are moving forward with a plan to offer three options;

• Start the school year on a regular schedule (all students in classes each day) with health/safety modifications in place;
• Offering a hybrid program where students are on-campus part of the instructional time and utilizing distance learning the other time; 
• Offering an all Distance Learning program option.

We continue to plan for an August 10, 2020 start to our instructional calendar.

To aid in our planning, we will be sending out a survey in mid-July in an effort to seek your input into our plan.

It is important to note that the health pandemic continues to create a fluid environment and that plans regarding school reopening can change. We will continue to send communications with up-to-date information.
