Gulf Trace Elementary

As we approach Spring Break, we want to remind everyone that we're continuing to work hard and make the most of every moment of instruction this week! There's so much learning happening in the classrooms, and we're excited to finish strong before the break.

Additionally, we’re excited for Field Day this week! It’s always a highlight for our students, filled with fun, physical activity, and teamwork. We can’t wait for everyone to enjoy the day and celebrate together!

We hope you all have a restful and rejuvenating Spring Break, and we look forward to finishing the year strong with all of our wonderful students!

Please RSVP to your child's homeroom teacher by Tuesday, March 11, 2025 so we can have your child's personal data sheet printed for the event.

We are excited to continue our March Madness Attendance Initiative and wanted to share the results from last week! Below are the classes that are moving on to compete for the title of Best Attendance, along with a pizza party.

As you review the data, we encourage you to consider your child's attendance and where they stand. Below are the categories used to assess student attendance
