Gray Elementary is an amazing school full of bright and inquisitive learners. Teachers and staff work hard to ensure a positive, safe, and intellectually enriching environment. We value a collaborative school-home partnership with our supportive families. It is of paramount importance that all our students form a strong academic and social-emotional foundation for their promising futures.
Dear Gray Families,
We welcome May, the final full month of the 24-25 school year. We eagerly anticipate the many fun events planned for the last few weeks of the school year.
Speaking of fun, the recent Gray family picnic was a wonderful success. Thank you to everyone who attended! Despite some weather challenges, the positive spirit of our school community shone through. It was great to see our Stallions and their families connecting, enjoying good food, and each other's company. A special thank you to Friends of Gray for organizing this event, and to our teachers and staff for volunteering their time.
We want to take a moment to acknowledge our amazing Stallions. Throughout this school year, our students have come to school ready to learn, worked hard, grown, and cared for one another, all while building friendships. We are incredibly proud of their dedication and hard work. Our students make this school such a special place.
As we move into May and the end of the school year, there's still much learning to be done! Our end-of-year testing window for i-Ready and Star 360 will be from May 5th to May 30th, 2025. Our goal is to ensure that all our students make progress and develop a strong foundation for their future success. We have been encouraged by increasing student attendance and are eager to see this positive trend continue! We definitely want our Stallions here at school and learning!
We're also excited that select Stallions will participate in the Special Olympics on May 15th. Go Stallions! Please stay tuned for more information about the many exciting end-of-year activities coming up, including kindergarten graduation, the Pre-K celebration, 8th-grade events, Field Day, our final food celebration day, and 8th-grade graduation. Look for updates in the newsletter, on the website, and from your student's teachers.
We are Stallion Strong!
Sincerely,
Dr. Kotis
