Message from the Principal
Building Wide HERO Celebration #1 What: Justus Gage Hero Celebration #1
When: Friday, October 17, 2025 (during the school day)
Theme: Game Day/Fall Sweet Treat
How do I earn this: Any student that does not receive any SWISS “Major” Referrals for the date range of September 15 - October 16, 2025 will be invited to attend.
In order to earn the opportunity to be a part of future HERO Celebrations, a student must follow the HERO expectations the entire date range without receiving any “Major” SWISS referrals.
Please support our efforts in making Justus Gage Elementary an incredible school by communicating with your student about the HERO Expectations.
Fall Fundraiser Reminder: Information about our fall PTO Fundraiser was sent home with your child today! We truly appreciate your support in advance and Go Chieftains!
Dismissal Time Reminder: Please remember to park Northbound on James St., Eastbound on Wayne St. and Southbound on Oak St. when you are picking up your child. GSRP and Kindergarten parents are to use the parking lot which is accessible off of James Street and then please exit onto Wayne St. Thanks for working together in keeping everyone safe!
Please remember the importance of attendance; attendance matters! We had several students and families that had their student(s) present all four days this week! Great Job!
