Gower Middle Weekly Update
September 6, 2024
All student drop off before school and pick up after school is at Door 6 (located in the back of the building). In order to keep everyone safe, cars are not allowed in the front parking lot during our bus drop off and pick up times. If your child is being dropped off late (after 8:30 AM), please drop them off at Door 1 as Door 6 is locked after 8:30 AM.
Thank you to everyone for your patience in our drop off/pick up line each day! We have staff that assist with this process each day and do all we can to ensure things move as safely and quickly as possible.
Please keep these items in mind if you drop off or pick up your child:
-Students should only exit Door 6 in the afternoon if being picked up by a parent/guardian. Parents/guardians should pull all the way to the back of the school to pick up their child. Please do not have your child exit out another door or walk along the car line to get to your car earlier. There is not a lot of space in our line and exiting the line early could cause an accident.
-Please do not pick your child up along 80th Street or Madison Street. If you are not able to wait in our pick up line, please park in our lot and walk to Door 1 to meet your child.
-In order to assist with a smooth flow of traffic, there is no left turn from our lot from 8 AM-9 AM and 3 PM-4 PM each day. We appreciate everyone honoring this as it keeps our traffic in and out of the lot moving efficiently.
On Wednesday, September 11th at 7:30 AM, we will have our first Student Council meeting. This is open to all grades 5th - 8th. Join us in Mr. Hey’s room (165) and please enter at Door 6 by 7:30 AM. Our Student Council plans events throughout the school year while fundraising for good causes. Our most popular events include hot chocolate sales, open gyms, lemonade and bake sales, and spirit weeks. Student Council is an opportunity for our students to raise money for charity and get involved!
Gower Middle Chorus rehearsals will be starting NEXT WEEK on Monday, September 9th. Chorus will meet from 3:30-4:30 pm in the music room. Interested students should sign up through the Google form sent to their Gower email. Please reach out to Ms. Brinkley (jbrinkley@gower62.com) if you have any questions.
