Gabilan Elementary School

Last week, we held an ELAC and a SSC meeting. Both meetings were well attended by our parents. We discussed meeting the needs of our students academically and brainstorming ideas for doing so together! Getting parent input is always so valuable! Thank you, families!

Staff please remember to complete your COVID-19 prescreening survey each morning in Frontline. If you answer YES to any of the questions, please text Abbie immediately so that we can determine next steps. It is imperative that we all only attend work when we are healthy in order and not spread sickness unnecessarily. Your efforts with completing this each morning are highly appreciated!

This week on campus we celebrated Dia de los Muertos. Staff across many grade levels dressed up and shared culture with our students. Many classrooms read stories and DLI emphasized the cultural perspective to ensure our students enjoyed the day with full meaning!

We were so fortunate this past week to have had Braga Ranch donate pumpkins to every single one of our students! Students smiles were huge as they selected their perfect pumpkin from our little pumpkin patch! We are so thankful for their generous donation! Also, special thanks to our wonderful MOT department for working with us to pick them up and bringing them to our kids!

For Halloween, many of our students dressed up and walked in our annual Halloween parade. Parents were able to participate in viewing their students in the parade out front at the drop off area as the children made their loop around the school. It was a hit with students, parents and staff!

Last week, enjoyed Red Ribbon Week. We kicked off the week by being proud to be drug free/not a bully by wearing red and orange. On Tuesday, we were proud to kick off drug free week by wearing our favorite sports jersey. On Wednesday, we “lei” off drugs by dressing Hawaiian. On Thursday we ensured that we didn’t get mixed up in dugs by wearing mix/match clothing and crazy hair. Finally, on Friday, we showed that drugs are scary by wearing our favorite costume or super hero shirt.

In the month of October, Ms. Hunter did a bullying lesson in every single classroom. Students really enjoyed the lessons discussing everything from Taylor Swift’s song “Mean” and it’s tie to anti-bullying to the book Mean Jean the Recess Queen and it’s tie to anti-bullying. Thank you for the lessons, Ms. Hunter!
