weekly principal message - 28 sept 2025

Good afternoon, Gladys West Families,

I hope everyone enjoyed the weekend and are ready to come back for another four-day week.

No School — Thursday, October 2

This will be a student & staff holiday.

Gator Gallop — Tuesday, September 30

Our first fun run is here! Students will run during their special area class time (schedule is linked in the GWES Newsletter below). Families are welcome to come and cheer, but you must check in with your ID, receive a visitor sticker, and remain in the designated area.

We are still in need of two more volunteers for the Gator Gallop on Tuesday. Please sign up using the link below. Be sure that all volunteer requirements are complete (details are the GWES Newsletter under the Volunteer section).
