Gibraltar Elementary Newsletter
January 2020
News from the Principal's Desk
Happy New Year to all of the Gibraltar Elementary families! All of us at Gibraltar Elementary hope you had a wonderful holiday season and are off to a great start in 2020.
January is a great time to bring the focus back to academics. Start 2020 by helping your child(ren) do their homework at a consistent time and talking with them on a regular basis about school. It is important to always have good communication between your home and classroom, so please check in with your child(ren)’s teacher frequently to help them succeed academically and socially. If the old “What did you do in school today?” isn’t working very well, try one of these questions to help generate a conversation:
- Tell me about the best part of your day.
- What was the most challenging thing you did today?
- Tell me about what you read today.
- Who did you play with today? What did you play?
- Who are you sitting with in the dining room?
Please check out the calendar for all of the dates and times of important events that are happening this month. Here are some reminders to help you get started:
- Please remember to send your child with a warm coat, hat, mittens, boots, and snow pants. PLEASE LABEL ALL CLOTHES.
- Please see our Winter Weather Reminders.
- Download the Box Top app and scan in your grocery receipts!
- January 13 and 27 – School Board Meeting
- January 24 – NO SCHOOL (Teacher Professional Development)
If you have any questions or concerns, please stop by or call the Gibraltar Elementary office at 920-868-3284.
