  •                                                                                                                                            May

    We begin the month of May by celebrating the work of our teachers during "Teacher Appreciation Week." Our teachers and staff continue to be a really great group of educators who have met the difficult challenges during the past year.  I cannot emphasize enough the dedication, hard work and extra special efforts that they have made this past school-year in maintaining the always important educational programs that our school provides.

    We must also recognize the"Panther Pride" that our students have put forth as they worked with the virtual learning process.  The students put much effort into their work  and continued to really shine as they worked with staff on daily school work, various projects and maintaining communication with their teachers.  I must also thank our parents who had to deal with balancing work and helping their children through a difficult time.

    Many good things continue to happen as we highlight some of the up-coming activities that are occurring during the month of May.

    •  Full time instruction (5 days per week-Phase III) will start on May 3rd from 8:30am to 2:55pm.
    • There is a special picture taking event for our 6th grade students who will be graduating and moving on to the Junior Senior High School next year. 6th grade Transition Pictures will be taken on May 18th (In-School Students at 1:00pm and Virtual Students at 3:00pm.) Parents will be able to purchase the photos directly from the company.  Information will be forthcoming.
    • Our Chorus and Instrumental Students will be performing in "Mini-Performances" this school Year, in front of Gavlak School. The Grade 4 Chorus and Instrumental Students' event will occur on May 27th, with a rain date of June 1st.  The Grade 5-6 event will take place on June 2nd with a rain date of June 3rd. Parents are welcome to come and enjoy the short performances of their children at 3:30pm. Hope you can make the event!
    • School will be closed on May 31st, for Memorial Day. 

    As always, if anyone has any questions, feel free to call my office or email me at giambrone@wboe.org.  You may also contact the School Counselor; Mrs. Radan, who is available for any parent who may have questions. Mrs. Radan's email is radan@wboe.org                                                                                        

    Panther Pride is alive and well.                     

    Sincerely, Nancy J. Giambrone, Principal, Frank W. Gavlak School
