We are VERY PROUD of all the work our
teachers and students have done this year to
master the Florida Standards!
The Media Center will close to book
check outs on Friday, May 15th. All
books need to be returned to the library by May 22nd.
All Lost & Found items that are not
claimed will be donated to a local
thrift store on May 8th.
Friendly reminder to stay up to date with all phone
number changes and address changes. Address
changes need to have proof of residence documentation. Phone numbers do not need documentation
and can be changed anytime by calling our office
staff or sending a note with your child.
Please be advised we have established a food share cooler
in our cafeteria that our students can place unopened,
unwanted, packaged, food or beverage items that they
have selected from our School Nutrition Department
breakfast or lunch offerings. These unopened, packaged
items are being made available free of charge to all students in the cafeteria during the meal periods.

witter is a great way to learn about all the wonderful happenings at Gateway Elementary.
