Welcome Letter from the Chief Executive Officer

Dear Parent or Guardian:

Welcome to the Gulf Coast Community Services Association, Inc (GCCSA)! We are so excited that you’ve chosen to let your child(ren) participate in our premier Head Start/ Early Head Start program. We are super excited about this upcoming year! Each member of the GCCSA Dream-Team is here to serve and assist you and yours in your pursuit of excellence. Speaking of excellence, GCCSA has soooooo much to offer in addition to high-quality early childhood education. GCCSA actively engages, equips and empowers the WHOLE CHILD AND WHOLE FAMILY; so, please visit our website (www.gccsa.org) to see all of the amazing services we provide, such as scholarships for school or trade, employment support, rental assistance, eviction prevention, food pantry services, adult literacy, and utility assistance. The only thing I ask of you is to participate fully and often! You will be amazed at what we can accomplish together! This handbook was thoughtfully designed to help you understand GCCSA’s policies, procedures, and practices. However, if ever you need to speak to me directly, please contact me on my personal mobile phone at (713) 494-4595 or via electronic mail (drj@gccsa.org). Again, welcome! My best,

Dr. Jonita Reynolds (Dr. J.)
