Please Complete this form!
**This was in a past EduGATOR but only 20 people filled it out. Please complete by Wednesday if you did not do it!
Starting next school year, google will require the use of multifactor authentication to sign in to your district assigned google account. This will either require the use of a personal cell phone to confirm your identity while logging in to your school email OR the use of a fob to plug into your computer to proceed. The district has received key fobs for this use. If you are interested in starting to use your key fob this year for multifactor authentication, please fill out this google form and someone from the technology team will connect with you for about 10 minutes to set this up on your device.
The district is not directing any staff to use their personal device to proceed, but individual employees my select this option if it is preferred. If you'd like to proceed using your own device, then please indicate that on the form above and the technology team will record that information so a fob will not be assigned.
Lots of End of Year Prep and Events
Secretaries have sent out end of year checklists to start tackling before our final days. Please be sure you read your school-based news carefully. With so many awesome events and tasks to accomplish in our last few days of the year, your attention to the details will make everything go smoothly. Thank you!
Save the Date
Please join us on Monday, June 16 from 2:00–4:00pm at the Central Office as we gather to celebrate the incredible contributions of Deb Kuhn and Steph Fisk ahead of their well-earned retirements.
Deb and Steph have each made a lasting impact on our district through their dedication, integrity, professionalism, and care for our school community. This is a chance for all of us to come together to share our gratitude, well wishes, and a few stories with two people who have truly shaped the heart of Gateway.
Light refreshments will be served—we hope to see you there!
Annual Town Meetings
If you live in the Gateway District, please consider attending your annual town meeting. This is an important meeting to vote on a number of town related matters, including the school budget! I personally love to see democracy at it's finest. Everyone gets a vote and every voice is heard!
