Gage Community School Connection
An Initial Update for Gage Staff
Welcome Back!
Normally this newsletter will be sent to all of our stakeholders, but there were some updates I thought you all needed first. Let me know how I can support your class as we start building relationships with our kids and families for the new year!

Gage Calendars
I'll be sharing more with you in the coming weeks and am happy to help get any of you set up as administrators of your grade level calendars, but wanted to get the links to you now as you start sharing with families. These would be great to include in a regular newsletter!

Facilitating Family
I know Meet the Teacher is a hectic chunk of time with families in and out, trying to get paperwork completed and collected, and working on putting names to the sweet faces coming through your door.
It's crazy.
It's also the first impression you get to give those kids and families.
Make it welcoming.
Make it positive.
Be present in that moment.
Be so crazy excited to meet these families you forget about the rest of the crazy.
"Family isn't an important thing, it's everything." - Michael J. Fox
