Gator Happenings this Week!
Clean Teeth & Thankful Gators
Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday the resource room was converted into a dental clinic for students to get their teeth cleaned - around 100 students were able to take part! We love being able to support our students' health and wellness with great partners like Children's Dental Services! Healthy kids are ready to learn!
Tuesday evening our PTO held a meeting - they are gearing up for a Chipotle fundraiser. Check out the flier below!
Wednesday was our second early dismissal of the school year and our staff was busy learning together in the afternoon.
Friday morning started off with a Grateful Gator Gathering - check out the video link below to see some familiar faces! We ended the afternoon with more families in the building as 2nd grade families ate munchies and played math games together!
Hour of Code
We want our families to experience coding too! Families are invited to our Family Hour of Code on Monday, December 5th from 5:30-6:30. You can experience our robots and coding materials with your student!
Gage Family Night
We will start answering these together at our First Gage Family Academy meetings on Wednesday, November 30th. Families are invited to come join the conversation from 7:15-7:45 that morning or 3:00-3:30 that afternoon. We will spend our time this month digging into the questions: "What does learning at high levels mean?" and "How do you define a 'higher level'?" We'd love to have your voice be part of the conversation!
You may see all of the priority questions and our initial answers HERE.

Powerful Partnerships: Children's Dental Services
This week we're showcasing the amazing work of Children's Dental Services. Children's Dental Services offers school based dental care that allows students to receive care without leaving the building. This allows for a reduced interruption of the child's day and no interruption or inconvenience for the child's parent. Their services are also accessible for all families, regardless of income.
