Reminders/Announcements
Veteran's Day Holiday
There will be no school on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, in observance of Veterans Day.
Conference Week: Monday, November 16, through Friday, November 20, 2026
All days during Conference Week will be minimum days to allow our educators time to meet with families.
Coffee with Principal/ELAC
Date Correction: Coffee with Principal/ELAC B-8
Join us Wednesday, November 4 at 8:00 a.m. for a special morning of connection and conversation!
Let’s Connect and Learn Together!
We are inviting our STEAM and Spanish Immersion families to participate in deeper conversations about their experiences at Gage. Ideally, we hope to have two parent representatives from each grade level within each instructional program.
By Tuesday afternoon, families will receive a Google Form to express their interest in participating.
These conversations will give us an opportunity to listen, share perspectives, and better understand our families’ experiences, needs, and hopes for Gage. By learning from one another, we can continue strengthening our school community and making sure every family feels welcomed, heard, and valued.
😀 Volunteer Applications! 😀
From your dear front office staff:
Please, complete your volunteer applications AT LEAST 2 weeks before the day/event you would like to volunteer for, otherwise, we cannot guarantee that you will be cleared in time to attend. In fact, if you have even an inkling that you might want to volunteer or chaperone in the future, apply now. Remember, application need to be completed yearly!!!
Go to gage.sandiegounified.org and click on the little hands "Want to volunteer?"
Lost and (Hopefully?) Found
LOST & FOUND: We will be clearing it out over Thanksgiving Break so come and get your stuff!
Cleared volunteers, we need a couple people to help us go through our lost and found. We made a signup for a couple Friday mornings and hope you can help. Thanks!
Get you Gator Spirit Wear!
