Gibbs Elementary School - New Look, Same Community

Gibbs Elementary School has a new look for the 20212022 school year, but has the same community and togetherness that has always made Gibbs great. Last year Gibbs was a Leadership School that housed Grades 3, 4 and 5. This year, Gibbs will welcome kindergarten, first grade, second grade and third grade. We started the year off great with our Open House on August 17. During the Open House our students and family members had the opportunity to see their classrooms, take a tour of the building and meet the staff members. Along with the new grades, Gibbs has some new staff positions that will help students achieve their goals and become successful life-long learners. There are new principals at Gibbs this year, but they are familiar faces in the Canton City School District. Mrs. Irwin is the principal and is in her 7th year of administration. She was most recently the head principal at Schreiber Elementary. Mrs. Piccari is the assistant principal and has previously taught kindergarten and first grade in the Canton City School District. Our principal team is excited to partner with our families and community as they lead Gibbs Elementary this year. First grade, second grade and third grades will have Literacy and Numeracy Teachers that will be working in smaller groups to provide students with specific lessons based on a student’s area of need. Mrs. Lindberg, Mrs. Lambert and Mrs. Pleger will be filling these new roles at Gibbs Elementary. Our building will have Mr.Markino as the Technology Resource Teacher and Ms. Wilgus as the STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) teacher. These teachers will visit classrooms to provide students with lessons that will help them with technology, critical thinking, and creativity. Finally, we have added Instructional Coach Ms. Kuhn to our Gibbs staff. Ms. Kuhn will be assisting teachers in creating effective lessons that will target each student’s specific needs. She will also be coming into classrooms to work with students in small groups. Although some things are changing at Gibbs Elementary School, we look forward to working with all the students, families, community members and partners like we have in the past. Gibbs is committed to bringing the best opportunities to our students, and the best way to do that is to utilize all of our resources. We are excited to have a great school year and LET’S GO
