Bend Gate Bulletin ๐
FEBRUARY 2026
Hello Bend Gate Families!! ๐
Happy February! ๐ As we move into a new month, I want to take a moment to thank you for your incredible flexibility and partnership over the past couple of weeks. Being out of school for an extended period of time and transitioning to NTI has not been easy, and we truly appreciate all you have done at home to support your children as they logged into Google Meets, stayed engaged, and continued learning. We know that NTI requires extra patience, time, and support from families, and we are so grateful for your collaboration during this challenging time. We hope you have also been able to enjoy some special moments at home togetherโstaying warm, playing in the snow, and making memories with your children. Please know that we miss seeing our studentsโ smiling faces in our hallways and classrooms. Our teachers and staff are eager to welcome everyone back in person, and we hope to see you very soon. We are looking forward to some fun events that are planned out for February! Until then, thank you for your continued support, encouragement, and partnership with our school. Stay safe, stay warm, and thank you for being such an amazing school community. Go Gators!!
