Giblyn is proud to be the "Passport to Learning" school. Here, we celebrate the world’s cultures while nurturing the next generation of Giblyn Superstars. Guided by our belief that "Kindness Matters," our dedicated team provides a safe, loving environment where students are encouraged to grow as both scholars and citizens.

At Leo F. Giblyn School, our motto—“Every child, every day, in any way”—guides everything we do. It reflects our belief that every child deserves consistent support, high expectations, and meaningful opportunities to succeed. We strive to meet students where they are academically, socially, and emotionally, providing individualized instruction, encouragement, and resources each day. Whether through engaging classroom lessons, targeted interventions, enrichment activities, or caring relationships, our staff is committed to helping every student grow and thrive. The phrase “in any way” reminds us to be flexible, creative, and compassionate in our approach, ensuring that all students feel valued, supported, and empowered to reach their full potential.

Through academics and a rich variety of clubs—including Art, Band, and STEP—we challenge our students to think creatively and work hard. Your child’s health, happiness, and education are our highest priorities. Together, we are preparing them to be successful, compassionate leaders in a global society. 

 

Warm regards,
Amy Lederer

A strong partnership between families and schools helps students thrive. One of the best ways to become involved in your child's educational experience is by joining our Parent Teacher Association (PTA). The PTA plays an important role in supporting students, teachers, and school programs while helping to build a strong sense of community within our school.

By becoming a PTA member, parents and guardians have the opportunity to collaborate with school staff, share ideas, and contribute to activities that enhance the educational experience for all students. Members can attend meetings, volunteer at PTA-sponsored events such as book fairs, and support initiatives that help strengthen our school community. Join our PTA today.
