Mrs. Michelle Miller, Principal
Good evening Gulf Gate Families! This is Principal Miller with the last Miller’s Minute until 2025:
· We need your help to keep our Title 1 funding. We are in jeopardy of loosing our funding for the 2025-2026 school year. This funding helps provide additional positions, training, resources, and other things for ALL of our students. Please take some time to complete the Free & Reduced Lunch Application at the link below even if you don’t think you will qualify. We need all our families to complete the application, which is totally confidential and not shared with anyone other than Food and Nutrition. Can you please make this a priority today? We count on this funding and need your help to keep it!
· School safety announcement: When picking up or dropping off your child at school, PLEASE do not leave your car running in the driveway or in a parking spot. This is unsafe for our students.
· We are excited for our 5th Grade Concert this Thursday, December 19! 5th graders, we encourage you to wear your festive (or ugly!) holiday sweaters to get into the spirit. Please note: no hats or headbands for performers. Students should arrive at 5:30 and the concert begins at 6pm. We can’t wait to celebrate the season with you!
· Don’t forget this is our Spirit Week for staff and students! Help your child join in on the fun:
§ Tuesday, 12/17: Wild about Santa: Wear Santa themed gear: hats, shirts, etc…
§ Wednesday, 12/18: Wild About Snowflakes: Wear white, silver, or anything snowflake themed.
§ Thursday, 12/19: Wild about Jingle Bells: Wear outfits or accessories that jingle with holiday spirit.
§ Friday, 12/20: Wild about Holiday PJs: Cozy holiday pajama day (be sure to follow dress code).
· Winter break is from December 23rd -January 3rd. Students and staff return to school on Monday, January 6th. But before we go on break, PLEASE have your child check the lost and found in the cafeteria as those items will be donated over break.
Finally, we want to wish you and your family a wonderful holiday filled with fun and laughter. We hope 2025 brings you everything you hope for. Happy Holidays Tiger Family!
