Community Groups & Guests
Be Our Guest! - Gilchrist Elementary
This group is designed to allow our school to interact with individuals who are not already directly connected to our students or the broader community. Please use this to create a "Guest" account in our system! Note: If you are a contact for a student who may not have custodial rights (Step-Parent, Grandparent, Relative, Guardian, etc. ), you will need to join this group before attempting to join any group through a shared QR code/Link from a teacher, athletic coach, or EDEP Director.
