July 14, 2021
Dear Amador County Parents/Guardians and Community members,
It is my honor to serve as Superintendent of the Amador County Unified School District. Our schools are marked by a commitment to educational excellence and are deeply enriched by a supportive school community of students, parents, faculty, and staff. Together, we work to assist all students in reaching their academic and social-emotional potential in preparation for success in our forever-changing society.
We know the past two school years have been plagued with stress for families, students, and staff. Our number one priority is to provide the best education to our students each day. We will start the 2021-2022 school year in our pre-pandemic schedule and commit to doing all we can to keep it that way. We believe that students being at school every day is vital to their mental health, as well as being critical for staff to effectively carry out our commitment to education excellence. Safety is a key factor each day. We will continue to provide updates to families as needed to ensure proper information is disseminated in a timely fashion. As we look forward to the new school year, we anticipate collaborating with you as we continue to provide robust and comprehensive educational and extracurricular opportunities for all students.
My husband, Mark, and I are excited to be a part of this amazing community and look forward to all Amador has to offer. I ask that you reach out via email, phone, or in-person for any needs, concerns, or celebrations you may have. My door is always open as we work collaboratively for all students in our county!
On behalf of the Amador County Unified School District Board of Trustees, I sincerely thank you for your support of our schools, and for the opportunity to work with you as a leader of this extraordinary school community. I wish each of you a wonderful and productive school year!
Sincerely,Torie F. Gibson, Ed.D.
