Administrator/Principal’s Up-Date

 

       Re-Enrollment and Girls’ Volleyball

 

In the midst of much positive growth and activity at Gateway, many of you parents have already taken advantage of the Priority Re-Enrollment privilege currently extended to Gateway families. I hope that all families will complete their re-enrollment this week.  As the accompanying flyer says, we are now beginning the final week for this discounted registration which will guarantee a place for your child(ren) next year at Gateway.   The discounted registration cost for 2006-07 is $200 per child.  This is a savings of $50 off the new student registration fee.  After February 21, re-enrolling students  will pay the full $250 registration fee and forfeit the priority advantage over new students  applying to Gateway.  So, please complete the discounted registration before next Tuesday, February 21.  I look forward to having your child(ren) ready and waiting for next year.

And before I close this week’s up-date, let me thank and commend the middle school  Girls’ Volleyball Team and their coaches, Jennifer and Michael Gordon and Peter Studemann.  The team members are:, Lisa Contreras , Pamela Yeshewas, Rachel Dirk, Haley Gordon, Lauren Renslow, Katie Collins and Kayla Lemus. Congratulations to these  girls who won their first game yesterday against Christian Center School from Pittsburg!  We all wish you girls success for the remaining six games!

                                                                                                Serving the Savior,

                                                                                                Mr. Stutzman
