We have successfully finished two weeks of school! Our students are already working hard in their classes and we are seeing some great things around school. We will be having FAST testing for students in Grades 3-6 on Tuesday and Wednesday of this week. Please make sure your child gets enough rest the night before and a good breakfast in the morning. See you all tomorrow!

Please include your child in the number of people you are signing up. • Parents must be on time for their child’s scheduled lunch time. • Parents must communicate with their child’s teacher that they will be coming to lunch on that day. • Parents must sign in at the front office and will be escorted to Center Court and supervised if they are not a registered volunteer. Registered volunteers do not need to be escorted or supervised during their lunch in Center Court. • Parents may only have lunch with their child. • We strongly suggest that younger siblings stay home as we will have limited seating available. • Please be mindful of time, your child will need to report back to the cafeteria before the end of their lunch period.

MORNING MILE
Morning Mile is back! Please come join us on the south field anytime from 7:15 am until the first bell. The Morning Mile is a special program at Gemini where students are encouraged to come early and meet their friends to get active before the school day starts. Morning Mile takes place on the field just south of the school with kids walking or running laps around the field. Every student at Gemini new and returning is automatically signed up and Morning Mile is free. Each lap run or walked around the field earns a straw with 5 laps/straws in a mile. 5 miles/25 laps earns a necklace and shoe charm! For 100 miles and up kids will receive a t-shirt, run a victory lap, and earn recognition on an awards placard. Parents, siblings, and friends are welcome to come participate with the students. Kids at all levels are encouraged to participate and make fitness a healthy and fun habit! We hope to see you there!

We are pleased to announce that we received our annual asbestos review and the report indicates that Gemini Elementary has no asbestos removal activities or any other type of asbestos actions that took place during the review period of July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2024.
The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requires all accredited school districts to provide building occupants with a yearly correspondence describing any/all asbestos materials removed from each school during the past year.
