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.
