Gridley Gazette, 7th Edition
February 2025
Message from Mrs. Rosanna Ortiz-Montoya, Principal
Happy February! We’re off to a great start as the second month of the year is upon us with Valentine's Day; February 14th and Rodeo Break; February 20th & 21st with dates rapidly approaching.
January was filled with unique learning opportunities and activities for our students. Our staff participated in professional development training every Wednesday after school and Q1 & Q2 Data-Driven Dig Analysis. This February, we look forward to continuing this momentum with a calendar full of activities to help our students learn, grow, and progress with aligned course work.
Best of luck to all our sports teams! Continue showing that great sportsmanship and team spirit. Thank you to all the staff, parents and guardians who attend our games. It’s important that students see your support. It shows them that you understand how important they are to us.
Just a friendly reminder that school is closed on Thursday; February 20th and Friday; February 21st in observance of the Rodeo Break.
As always, we look forward to continuing to work together as a team to provide Gridley students with an enriched educational experience and seeing them succeed to their full potential, academically.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Rosanna Montoya-Ortiz
