Staff Appreciation Week, May 6th thru May 10th
This week is Staff Appreciation Week here at Gateway. 🎉 We're taking this opportunity to show some extra love and gratitude to our amazing staff members who work tirelessly to support our students and make Gateway such a fantastic place to learn and grow.
We'd love to invite you to join in on the fun by sending a kind note or message to any staff member who has made a positive impact on your child's life. Whether it's a teacher, counselor, custodian, or anyone else, your words of appreciation mean the world to them.
Thanks in advance!
School Library Books
Please take a few minutes to check around your home for any Gateway school library books. Please return all library books as soon as possible.
Thanks in advance!
Motivated Until the Final Day!!
It might be a challenge for your child to stay focused as the school year winds down. Inspire your child to continue doing their best by comparing work samples from the beginning of the school year to the end of the year!! Seeing how far they have come over the course of the school year might motivate them to keep growing over these last few days!!!!
Lost and Found
If your child is missing any items of clothing, please ask them to check the lost and found prior to the last day of school. The lost and found items are located at the school's main entrance.
Thanks!
