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.
Hello Gray Families,
Get ready, Stallions! We're thrilled to welcome you back from Spring Break this week. We're eagerly anticipating a powerful start to the fourth quarter as students return on Wednesday, April 2nd. Let's charge forward together and create an inspiring and positive learning environment for a strong finish to the school year!
Spring is here and we welcome the warm weather! We are coming off of a long, and at times, extremely cold winter, so the warmer temperatures are a pleasant change. Our Stallions get to enjoy more time outside! What better way to celebrate Spring than by joining us for the Family Picnic on April 17th, from 5-7pm in the Gray courtyard. This will be a fun community building event that our Stallions will love. Thank you to Friends of Gray for planning this event and for teacher and staff volunteers.
We are thrilled that our CPS Score athletic program is up and running. This season our 5-8th graders participate in coed flag football, girls soccer, and boys/girls track and field. Thank you to our amazing athletic department and all our coaches for making this possible for our Stallions!
Tuesday, April 1st, Gray hosts Parent-Teacher conferences. Please connect with your child’s teacher if you have not already. Conference hours will be 11:00am-6:00pm with a lunch break at 3:15-4:00pm (teachers will be unavailable during lunch). Conferences will be offered in person and virtual. We want all parents/guardians to participate in parent-teacher conferences.
The week of March 31st is STEAM week. Updates are on the website and were also sent out in the Stallion Newsletter. STEAM education emphasizes critical thinking, problem-solving, creativity, and collaboration—skills that are essential for success in today's rapidly changing world.
We are Stallion Strong!
Sincerely,
Dr. Kotis
