Gale-Bailey ROARing Updates
HAPPY! Have A Positive and Productive Year! 2022-2023
Dear Gale-Bailey Pride,
I would like to wish you and your family a Happy New Year! I hope the winter break was filled with fun, relaxation, connection, and enjoyment. I also hope your children are refreshed and ready to continue to work toward our school’s most significant goal of growing our students’ reading, writing, math, and social/emotional skills. We will continue to diligently support each student as they give their best effort and do their most capable work. Any time you are available to help with our goal, it is much appreciated. At home, please continue to carve out time for your child to read independently, read aloud to you, read with you, and then talk to you about their books. If you can volunteer here at school, please call or visit the office for more information.
Did you ask your scholar what was one of their success criteria for this week?
As we return from an extended break in our school year, we want to reiterate ROAR behavior expectations with students. There will be a significant focus on specific teaching of desired behaviors in classrooms and during less structured times. Teachers and staff will look to reinforce positive choices daily.
Many thanks for your continued support!
Educational Yours,
