The Scholastic Book Fair will be OPEN next week!
Our students got a sneak peek this morning on the Morning News and are very excited about all the awesome books that are available!
Scholastic books are very affordable and great quality! Our school is setting a goal (we'll share more about it soon!) for how many books our students purchase! We hope you can help us meet our goal!
Remember that books purchased at the book fair will have sales tax applied, so please send an extra dollar or so to cover the sales tax of any items purchased.
Congratulations to our September Teacher of the Month, Ms. Jaleesa Johnson. Ms. Johnson is our Guidance Counselor, and her peers said "Ms. Johnson is always willing to do whatever needs to be done. She is very helpful and supportive. Ms. Johnson is ALWAYS positive! She is very thoughtful and is just an all-around good person. She is a great example for us and our students!"
Congratulations to our Support Staff Person for September, Mrs. McKensey Cantrell. Mrs. Cantrell is an assistant in our Upper Montessori classroom. Her peers said, "She is willing to help whenever and wherever needed without hesitation. She is a wonderful addition to our staff. She is friendly and her bubbly outlook is contagious. She is kind to children and adults, and we need more folks like her in the world! She brings great energy to our team!"
Congratulations, ladies!

🐊Attention Parents and Families🐊
In case you missed tonight’s phone call, here’s all the information.
🐊 Parents, if your child is absent due to a regular illness like a cold or allergies, please send in a parent excuse or a doctor’s excuse. If they are absent due to having 2 or more symptoms and you are getting them a Covid-19 test, please send the negative test result. That will serve as an excuse. Please include the dates of the absences. Just be aware that some type of note needs to be sent to the school if your child is absent for any reason.
🐊 Parents, who want the shortened quarantine option, must complete a form by going to gallmangators.org. On the home page in the top right hand corner, you will see Covid-Shortened Quarantine. Complete that form. You MUST receive an email from Ms.Hunter BEFORE sending your child to school. If the form is completed too soon or too late, that option will be null and void. It must be on the dates given by the school nurse.
🐊Riding on other buses will be denied due to the passenger capacity on buses and to reduce the spread of Covid-19. It will not be allowed for a student who may ride Gator 2 to ride to their cousin’s house who rides Gator 4. We apologize for any inconvenience.
🐊Parents please make sure your child brings their device with them to school every day.
🐊Any change in transportation, must be done by writing a note in the child’s agenda or in person. There are no changes done over the telephone. This is a safety protocol.
🐊Students should not be picked up after 2. We will not disrupt classes because this is a hectic time. Teachers are finishing up lessons, children are packing up, and it’s too much going on. Calling classrooms are disruptive and may lead to safety errors to occur so any early pick-ups must be done BEFORE 2:00.
🐊Remember to send water bottles with your children. Only water should be placed inside the bottle—no juice, tea, koolaid, soda, or coffee can be in his or her bottles.
