A Note from Mrs. Lauri

Greetings Toll Gate Families,

We have almost made it to the finish line of the 2025 school year, and what a great school year it has been! Thank you for all of your support and dedication to your children and the Toll Gate community. As our final countdown begins this week, we have much to look forward to, including our writing celebrations, the spring concert and our 5th grade promotion ceremony. We welcome all of the parents of our 5th graders to join us, on June 18th at 9:00am, for our Farewell Gator Gathering. Due to limited capacity in the gym, we can not permit extended family to join us for that event. On June 19th, we welcome our 5th grade families to meet us at the front of Toll Gate around 12:30pm as the Class of 2025 exits Toll Gate for the last time! Next week, please be reminded that school will be dismissed at 12:45 on June 18th and June 19th.

I wish everyone a happy & healthy summer!

As always, please reach out with any questions.

With Thanks,

Melissa Lauri

Telesafe for Daily Attendance & Attendance Letters

It is pertinent that we have accurate daily attendance to ensure the safety of your children. If your child will be absent or will be reporting to school late, please call our Telesafe line at 609-737-4008, option 2. Please refrain from only emailing the classroom teacher and Ms. Smith, the school nurse, to report attendance. In the event a teacher or Ms. Smith is absent for the day, only Telesafe is checked for absences, their emails are not. Ms. Smith will continue to call home to ensure your child's safety, if your child is not in school and we did not receive a phone call through telesafe stating that would be absent.

Arrival & Dismissal Safety Reminders

When parking near Toll Gate for arrival and dismissal, please be mindful of where you park. The side street that connects between E. Welling and the TG loop has a sign posted for no parking on the west side. (side closest to the actual South Main Street roadway) Please feel free to use the bus loop in the front to drop your children off, if there are no parking spots available.

Please be reminded that dogs are not permitted on school grounds during arrival or dismissal as well as during the school day. There are children who are allergic or who are afraid of dogs.
