Welcome to Gaylord Community Schools

Elementary students at North Ohio and South Maple Elementary Schools were the lucky recipients of new math learning tools this school year as a result of a generous $2,800 grant from The Drzewiecki Agency Fund and the U.A.W. Local 388 Educator Fund of the Otsego Community Foundation. The math tools, called Rekenreks or math-racks, were purchased in sufficient quantity to supply one to every child in Kindergarten and First Grade for use in the classroom. The ability to purchase enough for every child was especially helpful this year because of the effort to avoid the sharing of materials due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Teacher-led activities with these hands-on math tools help young math learners deepen their overall understanding of numbers, and help to develop skills involving counting, comparing amounts, and adding and subtracting.
