At Gretna Public Schools, the health and safety of our students, students’ families and staff is our priority.
We take this responsibility seriously. District leaders have been working to monitor the national and international developments related to COVID-19. We are in contact with local health officials and experts. We are monitoring local and national guidance for schools. We continue to adjust our plans as new information is released.
