Gilbert Family BINGO night is next week Thursday January 22nd from 5-6pm. Join us for a fun filled event. We will begin calling the first game at 5:10pm. Prizes, popcorn, and excitement! Student council will be selling candy grams for Valentines day and the PTO will have more raffle baskets to win!
We will also have our lost and found out for final claiming before the items are donated to the clothing closet.
Tomorrow, Wednesday, January 14th will be an Early Release Day. Dismissal will be at 11:40am.
Augusta Schools will officially implement a Remote School Day for today, 1/7/2026.
The safety of our students and staff is our top priority, and predicted road conditions do not allow for safe travel within a delayed start window.
Students and staff will work from home, and the day will count as an instructional day. Elementary students should refer to their Remote Roadmaps for guidance, while Middle and High School students should check Google Classroom for directions and assignments.
As a reminder, district-level information about Remote School Days can be found at https://www.augustaschools.org/page/remote-school-days
Stay safe, and thank you for your support.
Afternoon Pre-K will be at the normal time.
Winter is definitely here, and we’re ready to enjoy it!
Please be sure students come to school with a winter coat, hat, gloves, and boots every day.
Pre-K–4th grade students also need snow pants (and they’re recommended for everyone!).
Let’s bundle up and have some wintertime fun outdoors!
