We are in the process of upgrading our internet and access points throughout the building over the next week. At times we may have spotty internet connection which could impact our phone system. Therefore if you are on the phone with us and get a dropped call or don't get through please try back. If it is an emergency situation you can call our emergency phone number 630-816-0949.

Please submit your completed health forms to Mrs. Anderson, Gower West Nurse, as soon as possible! The State of Illinois mandates that all incoming preschool and kindergarten students have a current physical and documentation of immunization on file before October 15, or be excluded from school. Kindergarten students also need an eye exam. Health forms and information can be found on the Gower West website. Please do not delay!

If you are new to Gower or you need a new size this is your chance to order your class color shirt.

These grade level shirts will be used many times throughout the year. They can be worn on Gower Gear Days, Field Trips, Field Day, and any other day of the year! Class colors will not change from year to year so, buy a size bigger than usual and your child may be able to wear the shirt throughout their time at Gower West!

The design on the shirt is the same but the color of the shirt will be different for each grade. Each T-Shirt will cost $10.

Click this link to take our Community Perception Survey! We ask for feedback often in Gower and we are hoping you will take a few minutes to complete this survey before it closes at 6:00 a.m. CST on Monday, Oct. 7, 2024. The information collected is an instrumental part of the strategic planning process that is getting underway. Remember, we can't grow without feedback and we want yours! Please forward the survey link to friends and neighbors in the Gower Community that may not have children enrolled in our schools. It is important that we hear from them too!!!
