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.
APRIL 2026
Dear Gray Families,
I hope you all had a wonderful, restful Spring Break! We look forward to seeing our hallways filled with the energy of our amazing Stallions again. We love to hear the stories of student adventures from over break, whether there was travel afar or a quiet "staycation" at home. A week of downtime is necessary to recharge our batteries and prepare us for the exciting, fast paced months ahead. We are well into the 4th quarter and it's hard to believe how fast this school year is going, buckle up because it will go quickly!
We enter April finishing up our state testing. Thank you so much to our school community for supporting our hard working students as they engage with testing. Spring marks more than just the blooming of flowers; it represents a season of student academic and social emotional growth, where a full year of academic effort finally comes to fruition.
Construction for the Garden Project is well underway near door # 5. We thank Friends of Gray for their vision and partnership in transforming the garden area to a serene and interactive area for our students to enjoy. Funds were raised for this party through Stallion Trot and partly through a matching grant that Friends of Gray applied for and received. Soon picnic tables will be assembled for our students to enjoy. We love that funds are going toward improving the student experience. Relatedly, our students are also really enjoying the soccer goals!
Our district wide assessment window opens on 4/27 for iReady and Star 360 assessments. These assessments will show student growth throughout the 25-26 School Year.
We are Stallion Strong!!!
Sincerely,
Dr. Kotis
