Super Summer Sessions
Enrollment Coming May 17
As much as everyone
cherishes getting into summer time schedules, Gateway is offering next year’s 1st
– 6th grades AM half-day summer sessions for enrichment and fun for
five weeks. Parents may enroll their child(ren) for one or all of the weeks.
Enrichment classes include math and reading review, PE, art and hands-on
science and technology. The cost will
be $90 per week with options for Tai Kwon Do and a daily hot lunch. Sorry
for the delay – the enrollment forms will be coming in next week’s (May 17) Family Envelope J. Classes will be limited to 20 students.
Parents may additionally enroll students in the Extended Care program before
and after the summer session classes.
Please refer to the schedule in last week’s Family Envelope.
Please,
No Messy Kool-Aid Singles
One current popular new
drink is the Kool-Aid Singles powdered drink mix for water bottles. Because the mixing process is difficult for
K-5 students, we ask that parents
pre-mix the powder and
water at home before bringing it to school. Sorry:
K-5 students will not be allowed to mix it at school. Thanks for your
help on this!
